Those who step up to provide a loving home for children who wouldn't otherwise have one, deserve our support.
My constituent is a hero for taking 7 children into her care when she was asked to. I used the last day in Parliament to highlight her case and cause with the Leader of the House.

Chanukah is meant to be a festival of joy, but the Jewish community has been subject to an evil antisemitic attack on the first day.
This is what “globalise the intifada” looks like. There should be no place for antisemitism.
We must defeat the world’s oldest hatred.

Mark got heavily dunked on here for AI Mark, but this is good humoured, thoughtful and worth a read.
Goodbye AI Mark! The experiment has ended. Big thank you to my constituent, Jeremy Smith, for his voluntary work on the first-ever AI MP.

Lovely festive evening at Tingley Garden Centre for the #TingleyWinterTrail before heading back down to Parliament for another busy week.
The boys loved looking at the lights, toasting marshmallows, and of course, meeting Father Christmas!

💷Morley will have a banking hub by March 2026.
A temporary hub will open next year if the permanent site needs more work, and the team is choosing a fully accessible location.

£5m for secondary schools next year on top of £10m for primary schools.
As a former teacher I know how much this matters.
Every child deserves a great library and we’ll deliver it.

Great work by the Parish Council to deliver this hugely successful event once again. Oscar and Arthur loved meeting Santa and his elf.
