I wonder what Jesus would say about choosing to plunge 250,000+ disabled people into poverty rather than making billionaires pay tax 🤔
Do Kier Starmer's words mean anything to anyone? I think not! He is a snake saying one thing one day and the opposite the next. Persecuted Christians in Jerusalem and Gaza especially the Al Alhi Baptist Hospital, bombed by Israel at the start of the war and again over the past days. Christ taught us to love one another but our Government together with those despicable idiots in the States have only been spreading persecution and war in order for their friends to get rich selling weapons of war.
Fantastic to welcome James Murray, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, to Coalville yesterday and to showcase our proud industrial heritage.
A huge thank you to our former miners for taking the time to meet with James before we headed out to speak to local residents with our brilliant candidate Rebecca Pawley for Coalville North! ... See MoreSee Less

Do hope you were able to raise the outstanding issue of fairness and equality for BCSSS pensioners in relation to those of MPS with the Treasury minister.

I enjoyed visiting Harlow Timber Group to gain a broader understanding of their work in the building supply chain. I would like to thank Neil, Scott, Maria and the team for giving me the opportunity to see their contribution not only to North West Leicestershire’s economy, but also more widely around the East Midlands.
As part of the APPG for Healthy Homes and Buildings, it was encouraging to see an independent, employee-owned business keep up to date with the needs of its traditional customers as well as new, emerging markets, where architects and designers find innovative uses for wood in buildings.
Thanks to the Builders Merchants Federation - BMF for arranging the visit. ... See MoreSee Less

So WHY would you not join APPG Gaps in Support? 3.8 million #excludeduk hardworking taxpayers were left with NO furlough/SEISS! People took their lives. 7 recent attempted #suicides! How do you think your other constituents would have survived without furlough?
Looking good Amanda
Dead wood and lots of it, a bit like Labour under Starmer.

Our very own Amanda Hack MP on Sunday morning telly…
Hooray! Great info Amanda!!!
My constituents know more than most just how long it takes a community to recover from being at the heart of national industry, to losing that status. Steel to Scunthorpe is as Coal was to Coalville.
For Scunthorpe to lose its industry as we lost ours would have a devastating impact on not just the thousands of workers but also the neighbouring communities. I commend the Government for the swift actions that have been taken to not just ensure that thousands of jobs and a vital industry are saved, but that very industrial heritage is protected.

Good news but can they do anything for Port Talbot ? 🏴
But what’s it been saved for? Maybe war armaments? What’s going to be the cost of running it? Where’s the money come from, oh the benefits cuts maybe?
Not so important to the Tories,opposition members not even in attendance.

Today, Parliament has been recalled to debate the Steel Industry (Special Measures) Bill.
The Bill grants the government the authority to direct steel companies in England, which will be used to protect the Scunthorpe British Steel site. It enables the UK government to preserve capabilities and ensure public safety.
Additionally, it ensures all options remain available for the future of the plant and the livelihoods it supports.

Labour have no choice but to support virgin steel making facilities in the UK. The World is changing rapidly and as we all know defence spending is increasing and will keep increasing as there are plenty of nasty people out there, virgin steel being the base ingredient of military capability. It will be interesting to see how government pays for this? If we were a company as opposed to a country we'd be trading as insolvents, this has been created over many decades. We are still borrowing billions a month 8.3 Bn in Dec 2024 as opposed to 4.5 bn in 2025.
Our Amanda doing what she goes best with helping the government with trying to keep and sustain jobs for the workers and their families. She does NWL proud ! Well done Amanda for highlighting this debate. I know this is not our constituency but it’s a big part of our country and such a huge issue.
Labour...actually being Labour for once

This week, Neonatal Care Leave and Pay will finally be available to families as a day one right. This will provide parents and caregivers of premature and sick babies with the time they desperately need.
Last year I met with Willesley Primary School and Catriona Ogilvy of The Smallest Things to discuss this exact issue and the benefits of being a prem-aware school for both local parents, children and staff.
It's important we ensure that every child receives the support they need to thrive and help breakdown barriers to their future opportunities. ... See MoreSee Less
