Vaillant is an important local employer, leading the heat pump market and training people to install them at the Belper site. We discussed the Labour government's forthcoming Warm Homes Plan.
Developing and increasing the uptake of heatpumps is essential for the country's net-zero ambitions.

Since March, Pottery Primary School has introduced a new way of learning through outdoor play – which Mr Hooley, Pottery’s Headteacher, explained to me in my recent visit.
It was great to learn about how it has improved their children's education.

Next week, I am going to be walking across Mid Derbyshire - experiencing some of the wonderful sites and attractions the constituency has to offer.
I hope to meet a lot of residents, organisations, and community leaders while I am out to hear about the issues that matter to them.

I had great fun calling two charity games of bingo at Ritz Bingo, Belper, recently.
I learned how they have been fundraising for Variety, The Children’s Charity, and have raised over £2 million since 2015. It was great to play a small role in that.

Supporting a two-state solution has been a longstanding UK priority, including for the previous Conservative government.

Constituents of all ages travelled to Parliament from Derbyshire to meet me, showing an amazing commitment to fighting climate change - the most important issue of our time.
I had lots of good conversations about trains, transport, and climate change in our national curriculum.

We must protect our submarine cables and underseas connections, as any attempts to sabotage them undermine the UK’s national security. They provide access to the internet and energy sources, and send data between the UK and mainland Europe.

We all know how much house prices have skyrocketed. Where the average UK home was around three times the average salary in 1983, it is now eight-and-a-half times.
This is pricing out not only young people from homeownership, but also a significant and growing number of older people.

With so many people struggling to put food on the table, it doesn’t make any sense that we waste millions of tonnes of good food each year.
FareShare invited me to meet with them to discuss how they redistribute otherwise wasted food from supermarkets to those who need it the most.

A fun morning at school today. MP @jonathandaviesmp.bsky.social popped over with rapper Shao Dow @shaodowmusic.bsky.social who put on a proper show for our year 8’s. Lovely to see our MP supporting our Creative Industries faculty. Had to grab a selfie, of course!

It was a pleasure to attend the annual conference for East Midlands music teachers.
I spoke with teachers and school leaders, including the deputy head of Derby and Derbyshire Music Hub, about the amazing work they do and their initiatives to better include children with SEND.
