The biggest upgrade to workers' rights in a generation has passed through Parliament. That means: ❌ No more exploitative zero-hour contracts 💰 Sick pay rights from day one 👷 Fire and rehire - Banned 👨👩👧👦 And much stronger family leave That's why I’m proud to support the Employment Rights Bill.

Great to meet the Golcar United AFC board in Westminster today! We talked about the club’s amazing growth, their impact in the community, and challenges with facilities. Grassroots football is the heartbeat of our communities—I'll be pushing for more support for clubs like Golcar Utd! ⚽💪

Proud to support Labour’s commitment to ethical innovation! Animal testing has long been a controversial practice, and it’s time for change. Labour’s plan for alternatives to animal testing is a step toward a future where science and compassion go hand in hand.

Budget Boost for Colne Valley After 14 years of austerity, Brexit turmoil, and chaos under the Conservatives, Labour has been in office for just 14 months, and we’re fixing our country. This Budget is about stability, fairness, and opportunity so everyone feels the benefits across the country.

Driving test wait times are still far too high. We’re cracking down on the online bots and bringing in military driving examiners to help tackle the backlog. 1000s of extra tests will be delivered, helping learners get on the road sooner.

65% of Colne Valley voters want to see change in how we tax gambling - I completely agree. That is why I wrote to the Chancellor on this issue. Gambling costs UK society £1.27 billion a year. I will continue to raise this topic with the Chancellor. #GamblingTaxReform

In the UK around 400,000 people suffer from Type 1 diabetes, 29,000 of them children. With early detection and screening, we can get people the help they need sooner. That is why Labour’s 10-year plan for health and care is committed to improving Type 1 diabetes care, especially for children.

Like many in our constituency, I love my wood burning stove. It was eye opening to learn more of the unique value they can offer for home heating from the stove industry association. With Dunsley Heat crafting wood burners in Colne valley, it is important to understand the power of this equipment.

Awaab’s Law comes into force this week. A landmark step to protect millions of tenants from unsafe housing conditions. No one should live with dangerous damp, mould, or hazards. Our changes will give tenants a stronger voice and force landlords to act urgently when lives are at risk. #AwaabsLaw

I welcome the U.S.-brokered ceasefire enabling vital aid to reach Gaza. But border closures still block access. I asked the Minister: what is the UK doing to ensure aid flows freely and isn’t politicised? £74M pledged, but civilians can’t wait. #Gaza #HumanitarianAid #UKParliament

I have added my name to three amendments to the Victims & Courts Bill. 2 to end the postcode lottery when it comes to accessing services for victims and those that care for them. And 1 to allow courts to strip child sexual abusers of their parental responsibility. buff.ly/0fSTV2U #VictimsRights

I was deeply disturbed to learn about the homophobic attack that took place on Saturday, 12th April, outside the Old Bridge Pub in Norridge Bottom. My message is clear: everyone has the right to feel safe, and we must collectively adopt a zero-tolerance stance against hate crime.
