The Chancellor Rachel Reeves met with me to discuss Stafford town centre. I'm campaigning for investment for a new indoor market - a vibrant all-day destination to bring people into our town. Great to get this in front of the Chancellor - and I'll continue to push for funding!

Im not sure how many of us Hannah has bothered to talk to before writing this, but it’s insulting and over simplistic. I would suggest she engages with colleagues, rather than making populist slurs like this - feeding anti trust in politics. Really disappointing tbh.

On Holocaust Memorial Day, I listened to Lord Dubs speak at the Council of Europe. Hearing him tell his story was deeply moving. As he said, teaching the history of the Holocaust is about more than the past, it is about protecting our future, and making sure that “never again” is a promise we keep.

This is the man who activists in the UK advocate for. A man who thinks it’s an unreasonable level of censorship to stop a platform making sexualised images of children and women. In a way it’s good that they’re being so clear about whose team they’re really on. Get in the bin.

On Stafford high street, too many properties are left empty for months or years, often by absentee landlords. So, today I co-sponsored Luke Akehurst's Bill, which would give councils the tools to step in and help put those spaces back to work for charities, community groups, and small businesses.

As an ex youth worker, I’m buzzing to see the Youth Matters strategy launch.
