I’m proud to be a member of the Labour Rural Research Group (LRRG), which works to ensure rural voices are heard at the heart of government.
Nearly 9.5 million people live in rural areas, yet poverty in the countryside is often undercounted, underfunded and overlooked. Many households face a real “rural penalty”, paying significantly more for transport, food and heating just to reach a basic standard of living.
Our newly published report calls for a Rural Strategy to tackle rural poverty and the growing off-grid energy crisis affecting communities across the country.
The recent rise in energy costs linked to the Iran conflict is hitting rural areas hardest, particularly homes that rely on heating oil and LPG. Rising fuel prices at the pump are also disproportionately affecting rural communities.
Earlier this week, I supported a letter to the Government on this issue, and have met with the Energy Minister and Treasury colleagues to discuss it further. We’ve now also launched a survey for those impacted by the rise in heating oil costs which you can complete here: getcampaigning.co.uk/lrrg/s/heatingoil
The LRRG report on Rural Poverty is calling for action, including:
• Fuel poverty support that includes off-grid homes that rely on heating oil and LPG
• Establish a Great British Rural Connectivity Taskforce to accelerate broadband and mobile rollout
• Community-based employment support rather than solely through Jobcentres.
• Invest in rural SEND provision by repurposing surplus school capacity to expand specialist support

Yesterday I wrote to the Minister for Energy and the Competition and Markets Authority to raise my concerns about the volatility in forecourt prices, both across our area and compared with nearby communities. The differences are staggering, and I’m very worried about potential petrol pump profiteering.
I know these sudden increases are putting real pressure on people’s bills. Thanks to recent changes in legislation, forecourts must now report any price changes within 30 minutes, meaning you can shop around with more confidence for the best deal.
I can confirm that the Competition and Markets Authority have already passed this information to their intelligence team to look into further.

Today I have submitted a formal appeal to LINK regarding their Banking Hub assessment for Coalville, supported by both the local council ward members, where the closing Lloyds branch is based.
The appeal sets out the areas where I believe Coalville meets the criteria for a Banking Hub and challenges some of the assessment data used. Especially around the number of small businesses, and also highlights the number of vulnerable people within the local vicinity who rely on in-person banking services.
Below is the covering letter of the full appeal, which has been submitted to LINK.
Access to in-person banking remains vital for residents who can’t easily travel, aren’t confident online, and for small businesses that rely on cash services. The closure of Lloyds in Coalville will force people to travel further for face-to-face support and risks leaving our community behind. I will continue pushing LINK to reverse the original decision and allow a Banking Hub to be established in Coalville. ... See MoreSee Less

I’m pleased to see that, following the Labour Rural Research Group’s letter to the Chancellor and the Secretary of State for Energy Security & Net Zero about rising heating oil prices, the Government has now written to the home heating oil and LPG industry, warning them not to exploit the current volatility.
I know how these price spikes are hitting people locally. Many of you have already shared your experiences with me, and I’ll be raising these cases directly with the Financial Secretary to the Treasury tomorrow during a meeting on this issue.
This follows the question I raised in the House on Thursday last week. You can watch it here: 👉 fb.watch/FLEc3KxPtJ/
I've also raised this directly with the Minister for Energy during conversations yesterday and the Department for Business and Trade this morning too. ... See MoreSee Less

I was proud to co-sign a 10-minute Rule Bill, which has now been adopted by the Government, which will see strong new protections for children with allergies in school.
We’re making it a legal requirement for all schools to have:
✅Spare adrenaline auto-injectors and devices
✅Allergy training for all staff
✅Allergy safety policies
✅Individual Healthcare Plans
Nearly 700,000 children in England have a food allergy. As well as saving lives, the new measures will help children stay in school, with 500,000 days of learning lost due to allergy-related illness or medical appointments in the last year alone.
The new guidance is now open for consultation, ahead of coming into force in September 2026. ... See MoreSee Less

Last week, I co‑signed a letter along with 87 cross bench MPs and Peers to the CEO of Travelodge following the deeply disturbing case of a woman who was sexually assaulted in her hotel room after a man was reportedly given both her room number and a key card by reception staff.
The perpetrator has since been convicted and sentenced to seven and a half years in prison. However, serious questions remain about how such a breach was allowed to occur and whether current hotel security procedures are robust enough to protect guests, particularly women travelling alone.
I am encouraged that we have already received a response from Travelodge, who have agreed to meet with MPs to discuss the incident further and to consider what changes must be made to ensure that something like this can never happen again.
