Thank you to everyone who has filled in my survey on making social media 16+. I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to share your thoughts on the impact of social media on the mental health and wellbeing of young people including concerns around body image, bullying and addiction.

It was great to hold a meeting of the Broxtowe Dyslexia Forum last week at Fairfield Spencer Academy. We discussed the journey parents go on to get support, the difference between screening and assessment and the call for a National Dyslexia Strategy.

Today I met with the Nottingham West Primary Care Network (PCN) to hear about the excellent work they are doing across the main areas of Beeston, Eastwood and Stapleford to improve health outcomes.

Many people in Broxtowe have been in touch with me about their student loans and it is clear that the current system is unfair and completely unsustainable.

The Labour Government is taking action to help people with the cost of living. Energy bills to fall by 7% in April. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today the Government published the Schools White Paper, which outlines Labour's proposed changes to the SEND system. Our SEND system has failed to keep up with the growth in additional need we’ve seen, resulting in big barriers to the support children should be receiving.

It was a pleasure to meet local constituent Joe who came to my surgery recently to talk about his work with Young Epilepsy. We discussed the challenges many children with epilepsy still face in education. We discussed how better awareness and training for teachers could make a huge difference.

It’s #HeartUnions Week! I am so proud to have voted for the Employment Rights Act — the biggest upgrade in employment rights in a generation. Delivering real change for working people is what the Labour Party is for. 💖🌹 Join a union: www.tuc.org.uk/joinunion

It was really lovely to attend the public meeting at the Plessey Centre and endorse Beeston’s bid to be the UK’s first Town of Culture!

I met with @cancerresearchuk.org in Westminster for World Cancer Day to pledge my support to make this Parliament a #TurningPointForCancer

Today is World Cancer Day. More people are living with cancer, but access to timely diagnosis and high-quality care remains unequal. I’m proud to support the APPG on Cancer campaign to reduce inequalities in cancer care. Everyone deserves the right care, the right treatment and the right support.

Today I voted to lift the two-child benefit cap to take 450,000 children out of poverty.

I met with Jake Richards, Minister for Sentencing, Youth Justice and International Justice, to raise the urgent need for a National Dyslexia Strategy to help reduce the number of dyslexic people within the criminal justice system.

It was great to meet up with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, Steve Reed and discuss what Labour's leasehold reforms will mean for people in Broxtowe.

Say hi to Dotty! She is so happy that Labour is reforming vet services to bring more transparency, fair treatment and real choice to pet care!

📰Check out my latest column for the Eastwood Advertiser on the opening of the new nursery at Florence Nightingale Academy 👇🏿 www.chad.co.uk/community/ne...

Today we commemorate the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered during the Holocaust, and the millions more murdered under Nazi persecution. It is also a day to confront the present, and commit to challenge antisemitism, racism, and hatred in all its forms. #HMD2026 #LightTheDarkness

On Friday, I was delighted to meet with members of Broxtowe’s Hong Kong community at Redeemer Church in Beeston, with a brilliant turnout of over 80 people! A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to come along and share your thoughts and experiences with me.

Really appreciated the opportunity to speak with Age UK about the campaign to end corridor care. In 2024–25, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire saw 7,367 A&E visits that resulted in people receiving care in corridors for over 12 hours. That is completely unacceptable.

Lovely to have my surgery today at Beeston Library! Today residents came to talk about everything from education, to health to housing. I hold advice surgeries every couple of weeks, if you would like an appointment please email me at [email protected]

It was brilliant to open the new nursery at The Florence Nightingale Academy in Eastwood today!

Labour is proud of Britain's culture. For over a decade our cultural institutions were cut to the bone under the Tories. That’s why we are investing £1.5 billion over the next five years to protect and restore more than 1,000 arts venues, museums, libraries, and heritage.

Labour have just announced the biggest ever investment in home upgrades to cut fuel poverty for up to 1 million families. The Warm Homes Plan includes: 🏠Direct support for low income families including free upgrades to their homes. ☀️Making it easier for everyone to get solar panels and heat pumps

Last week I attended Open Doors’ parliamentary launch of their latest World Watch List – an annual ranking of the countries where Christians face the most extreme persecution. The findings are sobering - there are 388 million Christians globally suffer high levels of persecution and discrimination.

Yesterday I spoke in the Westminster Hall debate on the sale of fireworks. Loads of you have got in touch to tell me about the impact of fireworks on yourselves, vulnerable family members and your pets. It is clear that we need regulation now.

Last week, I had the honour of signing the Holocaust Educational Trust's @het.org.uk Book of Commitment, honouring those who were murdered in the Holocaust as well as paying tribute to the extraordinary Holocaust survivors who work tirelessly to educate young people today.
