Really pleased to bring my street stall to Tesco in Heswall, talking to people about a range of issues. Thank you to Tesco for having me, and thanks to everyone who stopped to have a chat.

I recently met with Merseyside’s Chief Fire Officer to visit their world class training facility. I was delighted to find out that here on Merseyside we have the best rescue service in the world! Thank you to everyone at Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service for the work you do keeping us safe.

Great to hear that Clatterbridge is one of the Community Diagnostic Centres which will be opening on evenings and weekends. This will mean people get appointments more quickly – helping to secure a faster diagnosis and getting them the treatment they need.

Congratulations to everyone getting their GCSE results today!

Congratulations to everyone getting their results today!

This week I took my street stall to Pensby, speaking to people about a wide range of issues in the glorious Wirral West sunshine. If you need to get in touch, you can find me at one of my street stalls or email me at [email protected]

Another new business opens in Hoylake – great to pop in and see C.M. Triggs Fishmongers on their opening day. Local businesses selling fresh, local produce – you love to see it. Good luck to everyone involved. If the first day is anything to go by, you won’t need any luck!

Small businesses are the engine of the Wirral and our high streets. That’s why I was so pleased to join the Heswall and District Business Association to discuss how we can work together to support small businesses.

Today I was in Thornton Hough for one of my coffee mornings, speaking to people about the issues that matter to them. It was a really lovely morning, thank you to everyone who came and had a chat with me.

Delivering news for the Woodchurch this morning. Good conversations with people whilst out and about - including about the leisure centre. The positive things we’re doing to help people don’t often make it into our news feeds, which is why I think this good old fashioned work is important.

Both Wirral St John’s and Claire House provide such invaluable support in our community for people with life-limiting conditions and their loved ones. I’m so pleased that this Labour Government has allocated such important funding to our hospices – it will make a real difference.

I have been working and campaigning locally to tackle the blight of antisocial behaviour, so I’m pleased to see that West Kirby will benefit from the Government’s summer crackdown initiative. www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/2530326...

In Hoylake, Scottish Power has a major training centre to help their apprentices go on to have excellent careers. Steve Rotheram and I recently went to see the training in action and discuss Scottish Power’s role in delivering good jobs and clean energy.

For too long, transport in areas like ours was neglected, and people have been left struggling to get around. I’m really pleased to see this Government investing in the Wirral – delivering a new train station, better busses and fixing our roads. My thoughts in the Wirral Globe: buff.ly/bp9oQK0

I was really pleased to visit St Bridget's C of E Primary School to meet students and talk to their Headteacher Mr Le Feuvre about the work they do. I'm meeting schools across Wirral West to discuss how I can support them and their students. Thanks to everyone at St Bridget's for having me.

Today I took my petition for a privacy screen at West Kirby Concourse to the streets, speaking to people in West Kirby about why I think this is important. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to have a chat with me.

It’s been a busy first year as your Member of Parliament. Thank you to everyone who has contacted me with their thoughts and concerns. If you need to get in touch, please email [email protected]

Best of luck to England Women who start their Euro 2025 campaign today, especially Wirral West’s Niamh Charles! We’re all rooting for you ⚽

Good afternoon from the Woodchurch. You name it, we discussed it! The NHS, ASB, pot holes, immigration, education, transport. Was great to have so many conversations about the issues that matter to people. Have a great weekend, all!

In just one year, this Labour government is fixing the foundations to build a stronger Britain. With people from across Wirral West, I’m working hard to bring the improvements our area needs. Some highlights from Labour’s first year in office ⬇️

I had a great time with Stephen Morgan, Minister for Early Education at Ganney’s Meadow School, where children and teachers are turning grey spaces into green spaces through the National Education Nature Park scheme.

The sun was shining brightly and we were out talking to people in West Kirby. Anti social behaviour, parking and public services came up. Lots to take away. Thanks to everyone who spoke with me. Enjoy the sunshine! ☀️

Compensation for the victims of the infected blood scandal is not only about money, it's about closure. We must ensure that the process is swift and transparent, so more victims are able to get the redress they deserve.

I was delighted to open the new borehole at Hoylake Allotments. The new borehole allows for running water to be brought to the site for the first time in its history. I had a great time taking a tour of the grounds and talking to allotment holders. Thank you to everyone at Hoylake Allotments.

Young girls in our community have highlighted to me their experiences using the West Kirby Concourse swimming pool, being made to feel uncomfortable because passers by can see in.

Thank you to all the constituents who have contacted me since being elected on the issue of assisted dying. I have seen the very best of us through this debate, which has consistently been conducted with compassion and honesty both in the House and in Wirral West.

I am so proud of the unique and remarkable history of our area. We have so much to celebrate, and I am glad we have so many great local organisations keeping our stories alive. Historic England has issued a call for nominations for the National Blue Plaques Scheme!

I was pleased to hold a meeting with local councillors from across Wirral West to discuss key issues they see in their wards. It was a really productive meeting, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with local councillors to deliver for our area.

Here's an update on just some of the recent work my team and I have been doing. If I can help you, please get in touch at [email protected]

Yesterday's Spending Review was about investing in Britain’s renewal. There were lots of announcements to celebrate as we get on with the job of rebuilding Britain:

Last weekend I hosted a coffee morning with Merseyside Police, the Wirral Council ASB team and local Councillors for constituents in West Kirby to discuss their experiences of antisocial behaviour.

It’s great to see one of our own, Niamh Charles, picked for The Lioness squad for the Euros 2025. Niamh from Greasby, started her career at West Kirby United and is an inspiration for young girls on the Wirral to get involved in football. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/extra/...

Delighted that The Wild Pear Bakehouse has opened up in Hoylake – I popped over on their opening day and can highly recommend it. Good luck to Josh and the team. Love to see businesses starting up and thriving.

Labour is expanding free school meals to over half a million more children, including more than 14,000 across the Wirral. ⬆️ Lifting 100,000 children out of poverty 💰 Putting nearly £500 in parents’ pockets 📈 Higher attainment & better outcomes

🚅 Campaign win - funding secured 🚅 Really pleased to hear the Chancellor confirm that the Woodchurch train station will be built. I've campaigned for this alongside local councillors and Steve Rotheram, and it's being delivered thanks to the huge investment from the Labour Government.

☕Coffee morning with Matthew Patrick MP, Merseyside Police and Wirral Council🚓 On Saturday 7th June at 10:00am, I’m hosting a coffee morning at Westbourne Hall to highlight the concerns of people in West Kirby about antisocial behaviour.

It was great to go to Greasby with Councillor Mark Skillicorn and have a good old fashioned litterpick at the back of Norwood Court. Where do you think we need to litterpick next in Wirral West? Let me know down below ⬇️.

This week I was pleased to meet the new Leader of Wirral Borough Council Paula Basnett and Deputy Leader Julie McManus. It was good to talk about the needs of people in Wirral West, the new leadership’s priorities and how we can work together to support people in our area.

Statement from Merseyside MPs:

The below is from Merseyside Police’s twitter account. Please don’t speculate or share distressing content online.

Good morning from Greasby! It just started to rain as I filmed this but was great to reflect on positive conversations about the NHS, immigration, education and the economy. I know there’s a long way to go but I’m energised by the conversations this morning and the feedback on the doorstep.

The threat of climate change needs to be tackled head on. That’s why I’m pleased that West Kirby Concourse will be receiving funding for vital clean energy upgrades.

An EU trade deal that drives growth, tackles energy bills and helps fight climate change! Glad the Prime Minister confirmed all of this in response to my question today.

Last week I visited Gilbrook Primary School on the Woodchurch, where I met with students and saw how their school farm helps students learn.

Fantastic news that Spital Surgery and Commonfield Road Surgery are set to receive funding for vital upgrades. This investment means more space and more appointments for people in Wirral West.

Last week, I welcomed Merseyside’s Police and Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell to the Wirral, where we discussed your experiences of antisocial behaviour (ASB). I took Emily to Grove Park where residents have been in touch with me about the impact ASB here has on them.

This Sunday, I met with Emily Damari. She told me about her friends Ziv and Gali Berman, who are still being held by Hamas.

Last Friday I held my surgery at St Michael's in Pensby, talking to constituents about the issues affecting them. If you need a surgery appointment, please email me at [email protected]

Earlier today, I marked 80 years since VE day in Birkenhead. The ceremony included Churchill's announcement of Germany's surrender and our Mayor read out the same speech delivered by the Mayor at the time.

Not a week goes by without more worrying news in the Middle East. The Houthi attacks we've seen this week do nothing to advance the peaceful solution both Palestinians and Israelis want and need.
