From day one, this Labour Government has been committed to rebuilding Britain and delivering meaningful progress. Here’s a short snapshot of some of the things that have been accomplished so far:
✅ We’ve introduced the Employment Rights Bill, the most significant improvement to workplace protections in a generation. It strengthens parental leave, expands flexible working, and ensures fairer conditions for everyone.
✅ More than 5 million additional appointments have been carried out, reducing waiting lists and moving us closer to restoring the 18-week treatment target. We’re also investing £22bn to create a modern, future-ready NHS.
✅ Free breakfast clubs are now rolling out in primary schools, including in Griffydam and Worthington Primary Schools. With 2 million meals already served across the country, children are getting a better start to the school day while families save hundreds of pounds annually.
✅ New trade agreements have been secured with the US, EU and India to support British manufacturing and safeguard jobs, developed in partnership with both businesses and trade unions. In addition to the Kensington Treaty signed with Germany, with many German owned companies in North West Leicestershire and freight flights to Germany, I’ve been part of UK - Germany delegations to discuss how we can maximise the benefits of this Treaty for the UK.
This is what real change looks like: good jobs, stronger protections, high-quality public services, and opportunities for every child. ... See MoreSee Less

After a meeting at Snibston Colliery Park, I noticed their defib on the outside of Grounds Cafe was not registered on the National Database, The Circuit.
This is one of the reasons I'm running the Defib Dash campaign; not all of these life-saving pieces of equipment are registered, so in the case of an emergency, the 999 call handler wouldn't know this defib was located onsite. I'm in the process of finding out who the defib's guardian is to see if we can get it registered.
It's amazing that there is a public-access defib available for use in life-threatening situations. We just need to make sure it's known and ready for use, especially in such a public location.
Don't forget to 'Dash' to your nearest Defib if you haven't already this week!

A huge thank you to Kerrie from Vitalize Health & First Aid Training for giving up her time yesterday to take some of the students at Ashby School through a CPR and Defib workshop to help raise awareness and confidence of what to do in a life-threatening situation.
As a member of the APPG for defibs I feel so passionately about ensuring as many people as possible feel comfortable performing CPR and know where their local defib is. It really could make the difference between life and death for someone.
Don't forget to 'Dash' to your nearest Defib this week if you haven't already to help us identify where all our local defibs are and where our deserts of coverage are. I know that not every defib is registered on The Circuit so your local knowledge is vital in helping us identify these.

It was good to meet with Emma Hardy MP, Minister for Water and Flooding, alongside other MPs earlier this week to discuss social tariffs in the water sector ahead of the upcoming Water Bill.
I also had the opportunity at the end of the meeting to raise my concerns about recent flooding across the constituency. I will continue to push for better flood resilience measures for our area. ... See MoreSee Less

Update on the Flooding at Lockington Bridge
I’ve written to Leicestershire County Council regarding the continued flooding under the bridges on Main Street. The pumps installed at the site did not prevent flooding during Storm Claudia, and it’s important we understand whether they failed to operate or are simply not adequate for the job.
Given last year’s 19-day road closure, it’s essential that a long-term solution is put in place to stop this from happening repeatedly. I’ve asked the Council to investigate the pump failure and to set out their plans for a permanent fix.
I’ll keep residents updated as soon as I receive further information. ... See MoreSee Less

For too long, ticket touts have been ripping off fans, using bots to grab huge batches of tickets, then reselling them at sky-high prices. They’ve built a shadow industry on resale sites, operating without consequence.
That ends now.
Our new proposals will crack down on the touts and make world-class music, comedy and theatre affordable again.
The UK is home to incredible artists and performers but when fans get shut out, the only winners are the touts. That’s why we’re taking bold action to break their business model and make sure more people can enjoy their favourite events at a fair price.
Affordable tickets. Fair access. Fans first. ... See MoreSee Less
