Very much enjoyed participating in this event hosted by @uclpolicylab.bsky.social at #Lab25 conference yesterday.

Lots of interesting and thoughtful ideas from both panel and audience alike on how we can spread opportunity across the country - this govt is committed to making this happen!

Great to meet with residents at Osidge Library. These one-to-one surgeries are a vital part of the job.

I'll be continuing my work with the council and parliamentary colleagues on special educational needs provision to ensure every child gets the support they deserve.

Wonderful to visit Oak Hill School and meet headteacher Kevin Grant to discuss their excellent work.

I had the chance to meet some of the dedicated staff, and incredibly bright and engaged students. I’m really impressed by how they're teaching and nurturing their 50 pupils.

My first remarks to the House of Commons as Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury.

We're lifting the burden of the cost of living crisis, backing those who want to invest in the future of this country, and helping everyday families.

The Post Office has now opened its public consultation on the High Barnet branch, which we saved from closure earlier this year.

The proposed new site will remain on the High Street, a one-minute walk away from its current home. (1/3)

Let me be absolutely clear: my commitment to Chipping Barnet remains unwavering. You elected me to serve our constituency first and foremost, and that will always be my priority.

This appointment gives me another platform to fight for the change we all voted for, both locally and nationally.

Dan Tomlinson MP @dantomlinson.bsky.social · Sep 2

Both national work and local representation are essential to an effective government, and with this role I have the opportunity to shape policy and enact change that will benefit our community, and communities across the country.

This week I was appointed Exchequer Secretary to HM Treasury - an honour I don't take lightly.
This is a role that allows me to champion Chipping Barnet at the highest levels of government whilst continuing to fight for better living standards and opportunities for everyone, in every part of the UK.

Really enjoyed my chat with the Barnet Post reflecting on my first year as your MP.

Proud of what we've achieved together - from getting schools in our borough to go smartphone-free this September to increasing police presence in Barnet. barnetpost.co.uk/2025/08/28/l...

Books are back at High Barnet station!

Thanks to everyone who got in touch with me and Anne Clarke AM about this - it's great to see the bookshelf safely reinstated. Next time you're passing through the station, do bring a book to share with your neighbours!

International human rights laws, and the ECHR, will be subject to change over the coming years. The question now is: who will lead this change?

My article for @thetimes.com, with @dantomlinson.bsky.social, on the need for progressives to shape reform of the ECHR.👇

Reform of ECHR vital to allow Britain to deport more foreign criminals

Ripping up the convention would be disastrous for the European effort against Russia. Instead, we must lead the change

@annebclarke.bsky.social, the London Assembly member for Barnet and Camden, and I have raised this with senior staff at TfL repeatedly, and I have been assured they are investigating what changes and improvements can be made. I will not stop until improvements have been secured.

Residents using Mill Hill East station deserve better. The delays, no shows, and huge gaps in services during peak times are unacceptable, and I have been supporting residents who have gathered this data.

Water bosses shouldn't profit from failure.
Many constituents have been in touch with me about this issue, and will be pleased to see decisive action from the government on this.

What a privilege to celebrate the Barnet Environment Centre's 50th anniversary.

Had a fantastic time speaking at their birthday party and touring the nature reserve. Amazing to think over 2,500 children visited last year - a wonderful place for young people in Barnet to connect with nature!

On the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe, we remember the efforts of many Britons just like Ruth, their sacrifices, and the crucial lessons we can continue to learn from today. #VE80

Dan Tomlinson MP @dantomlinson.bsky.social · May 8

On VE Day, we think of all those in Barnet who served our country in WW2. People like Ruth Bourne, 98, from High Barnet. Ruth worked at Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire, in an all-female secret team pulled together by the British government, where the codebreakers intercepted Nazi messages.

Remembering the bravery and determination of World War II
