Animal welfare is one of the top issues constituents contact me about. It's also a personal matter to me, as my two cats remind me regularly!
We are keeping our promise to improve the lives of animals thanks to the Animal Welfare Strategy launched by DEFRA today

Today is the end of Disability History Month.
Every time I speak in Parliament, I know there are 14 million other disabled people sitting in wheelchairs or standing behind me.
Here’s what I’ve been working on so far to create a society that treats every disabled person with dignity and respect 👇

Great to meet Rail Minister, Lord Hendy, recently to discuss the much needed improvements to the Penistone Line, including increasing line speeds and improving stations.
This project is one of my top priorities as your MP, including campaigning for two trains an hour.

It was a pleasure to meet UNISON police staff and representatives from our South Yorkshire communities in Parliament earlier this week.
Our police do a great job to support our communities and I'm backing them all the way to tackle antisocial behaviour and crime locally.

Great to see Octopus Energy confirm they will pass on the changes from the Autumn Budget 2025 to customers, cutting energy bills from 1st April 2026. Octopus is rightly calling on other energy suppliers to do the same.

This week, the Government have announced £3 billion to create 50,000 new specialist places in mainstream schools for children with SEND.
As a former SEND-statement child myself, I know how important it is that every child has their needs met where they live.

Over 23% of children across Penistone and Stocksbridge are currently growing up in poverty. This is unacceptable.
The Government's Child Poverty Strategy will lift 550,000 children out of poverty – the largest reduction of child poverty in a single Parliament since records began.

It might’ve been that ‘fine rain that soaks you right through’ but that didn’t stop Cllr Alex Burnett, Frances Nixon and I getting out on the doorstep in Silkstone this weekend!
We picked up lots of issues, including local traffic problems and improving local transport.
