The NEET crisis is a moral failure, I refuse to let our young people be left behind, that’s why I’ve joined colleagues in calling for the Government to aim for NEET Zero and systematic change following the Milburn review.

In Westminster Hall yesterday, we debated the progress of bills and the role of the House of Lords in that, in the light of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. Reform is needed to restore confidence in our parliamentary process and our democracy. Full speech here: youtu.be/FFcrq5g0nWE

There's an opportunity for us to rethink that seemingly engrained pathway of A Levels and University. They of course have their place, but we should look to the continent, to Germany and Austria, where technical and vocational pathways are the norm for school leavers.

We need to look at our electoral system for General Elections. A National Commission is needed as I have argued. This amendment to the Representation of the People Bill would enable this to happen.

Time for NEET Zero. I believe the Government should aim for NEET Zero as set out by Peter Hyman in "Changing the Story". With around one in four young people under the age of 25 now falling under this definition, the Government must meet this challenge with the urgency that it demands.

Wrexham’s MP has raised concerns that prolonged debate in the House of Lords could prevent the End of Life Bill becoming law.

Assisted dying bill at risk due to House of Lords delays, says Wrexham MP
Wrexham's MP has warned that the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill risks failing due to delays in the House of Lords, raising fresh questions about the role of the unelected chamber in the UK's parliamentary system. The Bill, which would allow terminally ill adults to seek medical assistance to end their lives under strict safeguards, was voted through the House of Commons last year with a majority of 23.

Wrexham MP releases report on barriers to social mobility
Wrexham's Member of Parliament has released a new report focusing on the barriers to social mobility. “Where We Are: A Report on the Social Mobility Landscape,” follows six months of research and consultation with charities, organisations, and individuals with lived experience. The report identifies three key barriers to social mobility across the UK: Access and Awareness - Fragmented and complex support means young people are missing out because they don't know where to look Reaching the Quiet Middle - Described in the report as "quiet, overlooked and often underestimated", there's a group of young people who are not being reached by the current system.

Wrexham have secured a historic promotion to the Championship this evening! This is the third promotion in a row, unprecedented in football. After Wycombe failed to beat Leyton Orient earlier this afternoon, the reds took the opportunity to beat Charlton 3-0 at a sometimes nervy but raucous Racecourse to secure promotion triggering an outpouring of celebrations on the pitch as the long demanded full time whistle blew.
