Back from
Westminster last night it was great to catch up for a drink with young members of Rugby Labour and friends at a local pub to chat about politics.
Get in touch if you’d like to join our next meeting.

Team Rugby helping GOTV for Angeliki Stogia in the by-election in Gorton and Denton today.

Such a positive vibe on the doorsteps and great to be with the Labour family working hard to ensure that decency and renewal wins over decline and division.

Glad to have attended this service. Words uttered that ring in my mind - that πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ is fighting for:

β€œfreedom, dignity and peace”

…theirs and ours.

Ministers to set out plans to halve attainment gap in England’s schools White paper proposes changing criteria under which schools get funding to support the most disadvantaged students

For too long too many children haven’t had the support they need to succeed.

That must change.

Labour will transform our schools system so every child can achieve and thrive.

This evening I went to the opening of β€˜Unveiled’ at Rugby Art Gallery and Museum. The entire Rugby art collection is on display and it’s very much worth a visit.

Well done to all involved and πŸ‘πŸ» the council for continuing to invest in art for the benefit of the community.

It was lovely to join Rugby Campaign for Real Ale at the Windmill Inn as they presented their Pub of the Year award to The Windmill Inn’s Gemma and Andy.

Pubs are a vital part of our community.

Nice to grab a pint at the end of the week too!

Well done Gemma and Andy. Well-deserved.

Another in-person advice surgery completed in Rugby this afternoon.

My team and I will now crack on with helping people with their cases.

Last week I held another β€œZoom” surgery for those who can’t get to the physical surgeries.

Please contact my office to book an appointment.

Listening all year round.

The quick & clear decision of Labour’s NEC means we can move on from the damaging, introspection & psychodrama of the last week.

Let’s pull together behind whoever is selected and come together to beat Reform and then focus on vital elections in May.

βœ… Rail fare freeze
βœ… 30 hrs free childcare

NATO Article V has been triggered only once: by the US after 9/11.

When our ally called, we in the UK didn't hesitate to stand with them.

636 British men & women paid the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan, with many more living with their injuries today.

Great to be in Rugby town centre today with my colleague from Rugby Labour Party and our Councillors, meeting people, listening, talking about what we’re doing locally and nationally and gaining signature for my petition calling for more Dr-led urgent treatment at the local Hospital of St Cross.

Speculation about Andy Burnham’s return & a leadership challenge is bad for Labour & more importantly, the country.

We should back the Prime Minister as he leads the team delivering renewal for our county.

My view: Labour must avoid a return to the chaos of leadership challenges that we saw under the Conservatives. We should get behind the PM to deliver a more prosperous and fairer country.

It was lovely to be at the carol service at St Edith’s Church in Monks Kirby.

Thanks for inviting me.

Beautiful singing by the village choir and accompaniment by

We need a #RealManosphere to counter toxic content from people like Andrew Tate. Being strong does not mean being mean. And I will keep defending trans people's right to live with dignity. Kindness, empathy and fairness must guide us.

Met with Transport Minister to make the case for Gibbet Hill roundabout funding and road safety action. With DIRFT and Magna Park expanding, we need this junction upgraded. I have written to the Roads Minister urging its inclusion in RIS3 funding.
