๐ฌ Yesterday, I held my advice surgery in Filton, at St Peterโs Church.
Local people raised a range of issues, inc. research into SUDC, the Child Maintenance Service, & the NHS.
I can pick issues up on your behalf - supported by my expert caseworkers - at surgeries and beyond.
๐ฃ A snapshot of some of my work serving our community, locally and nationally, in February๐
๐ Happy World Book Day! Reading for fun can take you to different worlds, eras & see you solve mysteries.
With digital entertainment galore, fewer children are escaping into these universes formed in our minds, while boosting literacy.
This World Book Day, why not pick one up tonight?
๐ท More change in people's pockets is change that matters.
Positive news yesterday in Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Spring Statement.
๐ฑSocial media access for under-16s was our topic at this monthโs โCoffee with Claireโ, at Brabazonโs new Spitfire Hangar with youth work charity, FACE.
Residents discussed the complexity of this decision on access, and trade offs of any decision here between safety & freedom. Thanks all who joined!
๐ต๐ธ Locally, I know weโve been horrified to see the human suffering in Gaza.
Itโs right that our Government does all it can to bring children in urgent medical need to the UK for treatment.
In Parliament, I called for everything possible to continue to be done to help vulnerable children in Gaza.
๐ซ Labour Govt shares draft plans to improve SEND support. Your views will shape these.
The broken SEND system lets children down too often.

I asked the Education Sec how local parents can help further shape this. Sheโs keen to hear from you.
This special place looking particularly special tonight ๐บ๐ฆ

Iโve written a much longer post on Facebook, for those whoโd be interested โ www.facebook.com/share/p/18Cq...
For too long too many children havenโt had the support they need to succeed.
That must change.
Labour will transform our schools system so every child can achieve and thrive.

Ramadan Mubarak to all Muslims in our community. Wishing you and your family a peaceful Ramadan.
โจ Happy Lunar New Year, the year of the fire horse, to all celebrating in our community and beyond.
I fully agree with local people whoโve emailed to say that Labour MPs should keep away from the chaos seen under the Tories and stand by Keir Starmer.
After making key changes yesterday, now is the time to crack on.
With so much global uncertainty, Keirโs leadership is crucial.
๐ฃ A quick recap of some of my work serving our community in January:
๐ผ Recruiting a Caseworker to join my team in Greater Bristol.
Supporting local people in difficult situations is the most important work we do.

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. On behalf of our community, I signed the Holocaust Educational Trustโs Book of Commitment, remembering the six million Jews killed and all impacted.
We must never forget the great cruelty inflicted simply for being Jewish. I will always stand against antisemitism.
Wishing you a happy and healthy 2026 โจ
As 2025 draws to a close, here's some of the impact my small team and I have had serving you this year.
Thanks to the 1000s of you whoโve been in touch, joined events, invited me in to see your work & more this year.
Here's to a happy and healthy 2026, and making even more change happen together โจ
๐Wishing you a Merry Christmas.
Grateful to all at work, inc. our armed forces and emergency services.
Christmas can be hard for some (wonโt be our easiest one, losing Mum). Thinking of all for whom thatโs true.
Hope you have a good & gentle day, with love, community, memories & hope around you ๐
๐พ Proud to support Labourโs new Animal Welfare Strategy!
This will deliver some of the biggest protections in a generation - improving lives of pets, farmed & wild animals - including banning:
๐ถ Puppy farming
๐ฆ Trail hunting
๐ Colony cages in egg production
๐ฐ Snare traps
๐ฒ Over Christmas, many of us will be looking forward to getting out for a good walk in nature.
Yesterday in Parliament, I asked Nature Minister, Mary Creagh, about our Labour Govtโs plans for The Western Forest - the first national forest in 30 years - making this even easier for many in future.
Looking back on a jam-packed November, serving you and our community.
Hereโs just some of my work last month:
โ๏ธ๐ What more perfect end to a very festive weekend than carols under Concorde..?!

Tonight, the first night of Chanukah, I know the thoughts of our whole community will be with Jews locally, in Australia, and around the world.

โ๏ธ Popped into brand new Palomo Lounge in Bradley Stoke - a super new addition!

Congrats on a great opening ๐
