No one should have to fight for time to grieve. From April 2027, employees who lose a loved one or experience pregnancy loss before 24 weeks will now have the right to two weeks' bereavement leave. Labour's plan to Make Work Pay is giving families breathing room when they need it most.

A mum in Stockbridge Village contacted me after her housing provider refused to install safety gates outside her home, despite concerns for her son's safety who has complex needs. I took up her case, and the provider agreed to install gates and fencing outside the property. ❤️

Labour is changing the railcard rules so 18-year-olds can get half-price train tickets. With £2 fares and kids going free on buses this summer, we are providing families with the little bit of breathing space needed.

I've lost count of the number of conversations I've had about the cost of getting around. For many people, the bus is how they get to work, college, appointments and see family. It shouldn't cost a fortune. So I'm made up that bus fares in England will be capped at £2 in 2027.

Throwback to my DJ days. 🎧🎶 Spending many nights in venues like this showed me just how important pubs, clubs and live music venues are. They're the beating heart of our communities. Delighted they'll be getting a 20% business rates cut from April to help them keep going strong.

Labour is backing families this summer. We’re cutting VAT on kids’ meals, cinemas, theatres and attractions, introducing free bus travel for children in August, and extending the fuel duty cut - helping families with the cost of living while supporting local businesses.

Knowsley deserves high streets that are safe, thriving and free from organised crime. I’m backing Labour’s £30m crackdown on rogue businesses linked to money laundering and exploitation – with more raids, closures & tougher enforcement to drive criminals out of our communities.

Another case sorted for a constituent in Huyton who had been waiting far too long for their Civil Service pension. After I intervened, a long-overdue lump sum was paid - helping ease immediate financial pressure. I’ll keep working on this until everything owed is fully received.

Capita’s mismanagement of civil service pensions has been an absolute shambles. I asked the Minister why we keep awarding them contracts, and when we are going to fulfil our promise of the biggest wave of insourcing in a generation. Watch 👇

Yesterday, Olivia’s Law cleared its final hurdle in Parliament. Proud to have played a part in this alongside Cheryl Korbel, whose determination after Olivia's loss has driven this change. Criminals will no longer be able to refuse sentencing hearings and avoid facing victims.

After years, the permits behind the Simonswood Stink have been revoked - a win for our community. But we’re not done. The waste must be cleared. Those responsible held accountable. We must stay vigilant. I’ll keep pushing until everyone gets the safe environment they deserve.

People should never have to choose between their health and earning a living. During the pandemic, many went to work sick because they couldn’t afford time off, with tragic consequences. A Labour government has ensured no one faces that choice again.

A great result for a constituent in Huyton. After being told he would face an additional 3-month wait for major surgery, he got in touch with me for help. I raised his case with the NHS Trust, and I’m pleased that he was able to have his operation just a couple of weeks later.
