I promised to be a strong voice for the people of #Bassetlaw

I heard their anger when they told me they are fed up with benefits fraud.

I spoke up and backed the Bill to crack down on fraud, whilst others stayed away

It was a privilege to be interviewed earlier today on @nottstv.bsky.social by presenter Emma Caldwell with Marie Brown from Groundwork Five Counties on our joint #GreenDoctor initiative for @bassetlawdc.bsky.social housing tenants on how to look after their properties to prevent mould and damp 1/2

I met John Prescott on a few occasions, including in 2009, at a Downing Street reception. He was a political giant for the Labour Movement, the country, and internationally in helping to get the Kyoto treaty agreed to tackle climate change. RIP John.
