I've come back from conference feeling energised and raring to go. After a week of conversations and a summer spent listening to local people, I've refreshed and refined my priorities for the months ahead. Onward! 🌹 www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/news/people/...

Absolutely brilliant result in New Bradwell overnight, with a resounding Labour win in our city. Milton Keynes is getting a fantastic, locally-rooted representative in Cllr Tracey Bailey and I could not be prouder of our campaign🌹

A long time coming, but I am so pleased that our government is backing bereavement leave - including for pregnancy loss. Most decent employers offer this already, but it's vital that leave is enshrined in law. www.bucksherald.co.uk/news/people/...

Proud to speak in the House of Commons in support of Milton Keynes' bid to become UK City of Culture 2029. With a rich cultural heritage (including Bletchley Park), a thriving creative scene, and a city looking confidently to the future, MK is ready to shine on the national stage.

I'm sure every MP across the House would agree with me here - one of the absolute best bits of this job is celebrating our amazing local charities in the Chamber. And there are few finer than our local hospices. Happy 25th Florence Nightingale Hospices 🎂, keep up the fantastic work.

We must take care of our own, but that shouldn't stop Britain playing a leading role on the world stage re: climate. We've all seen those videos of Nepal. Great response from Ed Miliband yesterday when I asked if the UK is taking international leadership via the World Bank.

Imagine having the nerve to say to voters: "hey guys, afraid we want you to cancel your once-in-a-lifetime trip to Australia that you booked a year ago, because we expect you to be in the country to vote". Another absolutely mad policy from Reform. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Nobody should have to sleep rough, and everyone deserves a safe place to call home. Really pleased to see the govt build on Labour councils' (inc in Milton Keynes) work to prevent homelessness. We can *and should* do better as a country. www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/news/people/...

Two years ago, Britain elected a Labour Government on a mandate for change. That victory followed Keir Starmer's hard work of rebuilding Labour, restoring discipline, credibility and trust. Now we must accelerate that change, and that's why I have nominated Andy Burnham as Labour leader.

I’m deeply saddened by Sir Keir Starmer's decision to step down as Prime Minister. This moment should also prompt reflection. In an age of 24/7 media and social media, we too often judge leaders by daily headlines rather than long-term progress. We need a more resilient politics.

(Flashback to when I got to wear my ⚽ top in Westminster) I'm both really looking forward and quite nervous ahead of today's match. We've all had our fair share of heartbreak, so here's hoping tonight is the start of football coming home... I'm sure @stephanie-peacock.bsky.social will agree!

100% agree with the PM’s comments yesterday about not exploiting this tragedy to fuel division, and with his remarks to Elon Musk today. In MK, Bucks, and Britain we are proud to have different communities living side by side - united by more than what divides us.

It's not every day you get to announce £17m funding for your constituency with the Chancellor. Really, truly over the moon to say that Bletchley is going to be getting an eastern entrance. This will be a game-changer for our local businesses (and communities of course).
