Today I chaired the the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) bringing together charities, clinicians and advocates to improve healthcare for women with this condition.

As Chair of the APPG on Maternity, and as a harmed mother, I remain committed to securing truth, accountability and safer maternity care. Families deserve nothing less. My statement ⬇️

Seeing the community come together today for #SherwoodForestDay has been incredible 🌳🏹 Thank you to every single person who took part - you made it one to remember 💚

My statement ahead of the appeal RE 100 dwellings on Common Lane in Hucknall tomorrow ⬇️

Town centres are the beating hearts of our communities. In Westminster Hall today, I spoke about keeping our high streets safe, backing local businesses, and tackling the root causes of crime so our town centres can thrive again.

With over 650 more children in Sherwood Forest able to access free breakfast clubs from April as the Labour government confirms the next 500 schools across the country to offer the scheme ✅ Giving parents more flexibility to work and more money in their pockets 💷

I'll continue fighting for WASPI women in Sherwood Forest and beyond 🐝

Online misogyny isn’t banter and it isn’t free speech - it’s abuse. The exploitation of women and girls online is not inevitable, it’s the result of choices and systems that can be changed.

I’ve been working tirelessly and making representations at Number 10 to push for fairer business rates and proper support for pubs and hospitality venues in Sherwood Forest. Our local businesses deserve clarity, fairness and a future. My letter to the Chancellor earlier this month ⬇️

Today we remember the six million Jewish people murdered in the holocaust, and the millions of others persecuted and killed by the Nazi regime - including Roma and Sinti people, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people, political opponents, prisoners of war, and others targeted because of who they were.

This week I met with PCOS Charity Verity and Baroness Merron, Minister for Women’s Health. We discussed the PCOS APPG’s recommendations on diagnosis and care pathways. The Minister acknowledged the long-standing underfunding and neglect of PCOS.

This week I met with The Lullaby Trust to learn about the Campaign for Gigi, a campaign led by Gigi’s parents, Katie and John, following the tragic death of their nine-month-old daughter in nursery care.

Yesterday I attended the The Royal College of Midwives Parliamentary event. It was good to meet midwives from across the country to hear their thoughts on what’s needed to ensure safe, high-quality maternity care for families 👶

Too many parents are being left without a safety net at one of the most important and vulnerable times of their lives. My comment in the Guardian ⬇️ www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

There are over 3,500 members of the Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme in Sherwood Forest. It’s time for a fair, transparent surplus-sharing arrangement that protects bonus pensions and delivers justice for those who powered our country ⛏️ My letter to the Minister ⬇️

Today is National Pothole Day 🚗🕳️ The Labour Government and East Midlands Mayor have provided £8.4 million in additional funding on top of existing budgets to Reform-led Nottinghamshire County Council. So why is Reform still failing to deliver the road repairs residents expect and deserve?

I’ve written to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions urging the government to do the right thing on WASPI compensation. Thousands of women in Sherwood Forest have been affected by this injustice - they deserve fairness, accountability, and compensation.

In parliament this week, I asked for a debate on how the Government can support flood action groups in areas like Lowdham, where Reform-led Nottinghamshire County Council is standing in the way of essential flood prevention ⬇️

Today in the House of Commons I raised the growing impact of retail crime. Too many repeat offenders are being arrested and released straight back to the same areas, the same shops, and the same victims. That isn’t justice, and it isn’t fair on our community 👇

Had a wonderful visit to Hucknall National C of E Primary School today. I was shown around by a group of fantastic pupils who were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, confident, and incredibly kind.

Last night I met with the Chancellor at Number 11 Downing Street. This was my final opportunity to push for justice on the British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme for over 1,100 constituents living here in Sherwood Forest. I set out the case once more, highlighting its urgency.

Development in areas of my constituency such as Edwinstowe, Rainworth and Hucknall have left our community without proper access to GPs, schools and shops. My question in the House of Commons today 👇

It was a pleasure to visit Broomhill Junior School last week to meet with Mr Beckinsale-Yates to discuss the exciting plans for a new build and to tour the school. The enthusiasm of the students and the dedication of the teachers are a reminder of why investing in education matters.

I recently met with Minister for Industry, Chris McDonald MP, to demand action on the British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme (BCSSS) Investment Reserve.

📢 I am delighted that The Joseph Whitaker School in Rainworth has been selected to receive funding for solar power from Great British Energy ☀️ It will mean the school spends less of their money energy bills, and more on the resources that our children rely on 💷 ℹ️ www.gov.uk/government/n...

It was a real pleasure to cut the ribbon at the official launch of the Hucknall Banking Hub today with Cash Access UK. This fantastic new facility will make a real difference for local residents and businesses, providing access to face-to-face banking services from major banks in our community.

An honour to join the Ollerton community this morning for the Remembrance event at the Town Hall. We came together to pay tribute to those who served, to remember their sacrifice, and to reflect with gratitude. Lest we forget.
