Labour Member of Parliament for Tamworth
I visited Kettlebrook Short Stay School to discuss the pressures facing alternative provision. Schools like Kettlebrook give excluded and vulnerable young people a vital second chance — helping them rebuild confidence and stay engaged in education.

Today marks Remembrance Sunday, a day to pause and honour all those who have served and sacrificed for our country. We especially remember the heroes from Tamworth and our local area who gave so much.

Lest we forget.

Beast mode activated! 💪

This incredible man climbed Everest in 7 days! I'm so proud to work alongside him. As Minister for the Armed Forces he is doing incredible work.

This government is prioritising veterans and making sure we have proper homes for heroes. 🏠

I was honoured to plant a cross in the Speaker’s Remembrance Garden this week in memory of all those in Tamworth and our villages who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

We will remember them.

I want to wish Tamworth FC the best of luck in this year’s Emirates FA Cup, with the Lambs taking on Leyton Orient FC tonight. ⚽🐑

After last year’s historic run that saw the Lambs take on Premier League giants Spurs, here’s hoping for another unforgettable campaign. #MagicOfTheCup

Last week I caught up with Neil and Lois from the Zemo Partnership to discuss the UK’s transition to clean transport and achieving net zero. It was inspiring to hear about their work on low-emission vehicles, sustainable fuels, and greener transport systems.

Today marks 2 years since the October 7th attacks. We remember those who lost their lives, and those who still remain in captivity. Our thoughts are with the hostages and their families, and we hope for peace and their safe return.

🏡 Labour’s new reforms to make buying or selling a home faster, cheaper, and easier.

These common-sense changes will:
✅ Save first-time buyers £710 on average
✅ Halve failed transactions, cutting stress and wasted time
✅ Speed up the process by up to four weeks

Last week I was proud to announce a record £20 million investment for Stonydelph and Glascote through the new Pride in Place Programme. I want to hear from as many local people as possible about how this money should be spent.

As a Humanist, I’m proud to back Humanists UK’s campaign to legalise humanist weddings in England & Wales. Everyone should have the right to a ceremony that reflects their values. I recently hosted a Parliamentary debate calling for change, and the Government has now committed to making it happen

Over Labour Conference, I was delighted to join a range of events hosted by SME4Labour, a fantastic organisation that gives a voice to small and medium-sized enterprises within the Labour movement. SMEs are the backbone of our economy, driving growth, innovation and good jobs across the country.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the recognition of Humanist marriage in England and Wales!

In June, I secured a debate on this very issue, alongside my colleagues Lizzi Collinge MP and Freddie van Mierlo MP, and I’m pleased that following that debate the law is changing.
