A look forward to 2026
Over the past year, alongside colleagues in the Labour Rural Research Group (LRRG), I’ve continued to work closely with local farmers. I’ve met with more than 50 farmers across North West Leicestershire and have consistently pressed the Government to rethink its Inheritance and Property relief proposals.

It's great to see Moira Furnace Museum and Country Park officially reopen following the recent renovation works. A huge thanks goes to the The Moira Furnace Museum Trust team for all their hard work, not just during this renovation but over the years for preserving such an amazing part of our local history. That's alongside organisations like The National Forest and This Is NWLeics.
Whilst I couldn't attend in person on Thursday to mark the reopening due to Parliamentary commitments, one of my team did attend on my behalf. I did
pop by last week though, although there was no giant red ribbon or lovely sunshine then! ... See MoreSee Less

It was brilliant to be with so many amazing Women for the renewal of our Women's Health Strategy earlier this week in Westminster.
Too many women have had their symptoms brushed aside or dismissed altogether because of long-standing bias in healthcare. That needs to change.
This Labour Government's Women’s Health Strategy aims to confront these issues head-on and ensure women and girls are properly heard and supported within the healthcare system.
Key points include:
🏥Helping women see the right specialist sooner, with shorter waiting times, so conditions like endometriosis are diagnosed and treated more quickly
💊Updating standards around pain management so women receive appropriate and effective relief during invasive gynaecological procedures
📚Investing £1 million in better menstrual education, alongside improved access to contraception and abortion services
That's alongside using women’s feedback to shape funding and drive improvements, ensuring services are accountable for listening and responding to women's needs.

🌾 Have your say on the future of the rural economy 🌾
The Labour Rural Research Group (LRRG) has launched a new call for evidence to shape its next major report on the future of rural Britain.
Building on previous work exploring rural life and poverty, this new report will look ahead to 2040, focusing on how we can unlock growth, resilience and opportunity in rural communities, and what needs to happen during this Parliament to get there.
Rural areas are vital to our economy and way of life, but too often face barriers to growth, investment and opportunity. That’s why LRRG is inviting farmers, businesses, community groups and residents to share their experiences, including the challenges you face and the opportunities you see.
📝 You can submit your thoughts here: www.labourruralresearchgroup.com/about-3

We promised to tackle crime and put 13,000 more officers on our streets across the UK, and that’s exactly what this Government is delivering.
Last year, we committed to deliver an additional 3,000 neighbourhood officers by the end of March 2026, and the latest figures show we achieved that target two months early.
I’m also really pleased that Leicestershire has seen the highest increase in the East Midlands, with 56 new officers, out of 120 across the region.
Our local neighbourhood teams work incredibly hard, and we will continue to back them with more officers, increased funding, and targeted initiatives - such as last year’s summer blitz, which we saw in Coalville and Ashby, to tackle town centre crime and keep our communities safe. ...

When caught early, nine in ten people survive bowel cancer. That’s why this #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth I’m supporting Bowel Cancer UK to help raise awareness of the disease, so more people have the best possible chance of an early diagnosis.
Being aware of the symptoms is vital in spotting bowel cancer early. The sooner it’s detected, the more treatable it can be.
Please get involved and help spread the word. #PassItOn

Good news for our area 👇
The new Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) at Leicester Royal Infirmary, alongside the expansion of the UTC at Queen’s Medical Centre, is a very welcome step forward. It will help increase capacity and improve access across our local hospitals.
I’ve visited both hospitals and spoken with East Midlands Ambulance Service. I’ve seen first-hand the immense pressure our A&E departments are under - from overcrowding, to ambulance queues waiting to hand patients over.
This investment will make a real difference, meaning more patients will be seen quickly, receive safer, more timely care and provide greater dignity for those needing urgent treatment as we move to end “corridor care”.
It’s exactly the kind of practical, frontline improvement we need - easing pressure on emergency services while making sure people get the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
This also builds on progress to roll out Neighbourhood Health Services across North West Leicestershire, bringing together GPs, community nurses, social care teams and others to deliver more joined-up care closer to home.
A positive step forward for patients, staff, and our NHS. ... See MoreSee Less
