Labour Member of Parliament for York Outer 🌹Proud Dad & Yorkshireman🫖
Food inflation skyrocketed after the Tories & Reform’s botched Brexit. 😐

So I’m campaigning to bring prices down and cut the cost of living, starting with a UK favourite: the meal deal. 🥪

It’s time to give something back to the grafters out getting their lunch. ✅

🚆If we had a £1 for every press release under the Conservatives about rail in the North, maybe we could have actually delivered new stations…🤔

Whether it’s journeys from Leeds to Shef, Bradford to Huddersfield, or York to Manchester - hear why I think NPR is a huge game-changer for the North 💪🏽

A rail revolution is happening in the North! 💪🚆

After years of Tory decline, and with Reform now threatening to scrap it, Labour is delivering Northern Powerhouse Rail and renewed optimism for our region that has been overlooked for too long. ✅🌹

Jenrick’s managed the rare feat of becoming so unwanted that even Farage would look desperate taking him on.

Looking forward to his video on this one. Lol.

The student loan misselling scandal?

Labour inherited a student loan system designed by the Tories that can only be described as “Frankenstein’s monster”.

I raised Plan 2 loans in Parliament, for the millions of graduates fed up of paying the price of a poor Tory era policy.

A pleasure to visit Bishopthorpe Cricket Club!

Just two years on from the brink of closure, this historic club is now thriving thanks to the dedication of its volunteers and players.

A brilliant York success story. 🏏

This is why I do this job. Loved celebrating the return of the Number 15 bus I’ve been pushing for with constituents from Bishopthorpe & Woodthorpe.

Restoring services like this helps people get to work, see loved ones & stay connected. Huge thanks to East Yorkshire Buses & local councillors too!

Great to be over at Middlethorpe Hall, a stunning National Trust property & hotel, led by the inspiring Lionel.

His warmth, dedication & passion for hospitality is remarkable. Loved seeing his team in action and hearing about all the wonderful work he does in the community, too!

Stopped by for a quick pint of Mittel Pilsner at Brew York, brewed just down the road in Elvington!🍻
Hard to beat...

Great to catch up with Age UK York at the York City match ⚽

Their Match Buddies scheme is doing such good work, helping older people who might otherwise miss out on matchdays to enjoy the game in good company.

A really positive initiative making a genuine difference to many people across York 👏

We all know we need more affordable housing in York 🏘️

So it was great to visit Bramble Wood in Wheldrake and see the JRHT houses ready for residents to move into!🌳

Brilliant to see JRHT and Barratt Homes working together to deliver homes like these – making a real difference for families.

Popped into Baker Street to pick up a Christmas Lunch panini🎄🥪
Great food as always, and the staff are so friendly and welcoming - always nice to stop and have a quick chat.
A really good way to finish my last constituency visits of the year!

Popped into the Greengales Court Christmas Street Party in Wheldrake last week!🎄

It was wonderful to see neighbours coming together to enjoy to support the charity Unique - who raise awareness of rare chromosomes and gene disorders and provide support networks for families.❤️

Christmas is THE busiest time of the year for the fantastic Royal Mail team, so it was great to visit the staff at Birch Park and thank them for the incredible effort they are putting into sorting, organising and delivering letters and parcels for everyone across our city!🎄📦

Great to visit Skelton Ambulance Station and meet the incredible paramedics and call handlers who work tirelessly to keep us all safe.

Hearing about their experiences and challenges was eye-opening.

A huge thank you to all our emergency workers for the amazing job you do every single day 🚑👏

What a joy it was to present Alfred from Lord Deramore's Primary School with his certificate for winning my Christmas Card Competition!🎉

Alfred’s beautiful design will be shared with businesses, schools, charities, and other MPs, spreading festive cheer far and wide.✨

Wishing a very Happy Chanukah to everyone celebrating in York Outer and beyond! 🕎✨

It was wonderful to be at Clifford's Tower for the Chanukah event on Friday evening.

As we come to the end of the Festival of Lights, I hope it has brought joy, peace, and hope to you and your loved ones.

So proud of our local schools 🎓✨

Huge congratulations to Fulford School & Huntington School - my old school - for being named in The Times Top 1000 Secondary Schools of the Year - ranked 187 & 302 respectively📚🏆

A brilliant achievement for York👏👏

I’m proud to work with many charities, but receiving a Men’s Health Champion Award from Movember recently was a real joy 🏆

Men’s health - mental and physical - is a huge priority for me, made even more personal by the birth of my second son this year, which lifted a cloud.☁️

Great to get down to the LNER just before the festive football begins and see the team once again!🎄⚽
Fantastic atmosphere and a stunning result too!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and here’s to a big 2026 for the Minstermen! 🔴⚪

Enjoyed calling into an event held by Sainsbury’s in Parliament!🎄

Good to meet store colleagues, suppliers and charity partners and discuss the impact Sainsbury’s has as a local employer in York Outer.

Pleased to write a message to local Sainsbury’s workers to thank them for their hard work,👏🛒

It’s always good to see civil service jobs moving out of London…and even better to see more of them in York!🏛️🚆

With two universities, great connectivity, and the York Central project, our city is well placed to offer new opportunities for local people in building York, and Britain’s future.👇

Proud to see two York Outer schools recognised nationally🎉

Congratulations to Lord Deramore’s Primary School and Hempland Primary for being included in The Times Top 1,000 primary schools of the year - ranked 658 & 773 respectively👏📚

Nothing beats the sound of carols bringing York together🎶

I had a wonderful time at York’s Annual Community Christmas Carol Concert with Lord Mayor celebrating the spirit of community and the joy of Christmas🎄🤝

A huge well done to the brilliant choirs for such outstanding performances!🎅🎄
