We are so lucky in York to have so much on our doorstep, and in some cases on our buildings thanks to the commemorative plaques placed by York Civic Trust.
It was brilliant to visit the Trust and Fairfax House this week. A huge thank you to the dedicated staff and volunteers who do so much.

What a night for York Knights!
Opening Super League with a win over reigning champions Hull KR. One of the biggest upsets you’ll see.
With the Knights flying and York City pushing for promotion, it’s a brilliant time to be a sports fan in York. 🔵🟡

Every football fan knows it’s time the National League had three promotion spots, not just the #ycfc fan in me.
Proud to back #3UP with Paul Waugh. One of Rochdale or York will miss out on automatics & I hope it’s not us!
The EFL Board meets in March to discuss this: it’s time. 🔴🔵

Reform and Nigel Farage want to end working from home.
Literally NOBODY asked for that.

Reform have no answers.
Ask them how they’ll rebuild the NHS.
Ask them how they’ll lower bills.
Ask them how they’ll build homes.
You’ll only hear slogans, blame, and outrage, because they have nothing else. They are simply:
Turquoise Tories.

Mayor David Skaith and I have been working really closely together to push for vital transport links in our region, and this week the Transport Secretary popped up to York to formally sign the NPR compact.
Great to catch up with David following this exciting moment for both York, and Yorkshire!

The expansion of 30 hours of funded childcare is a game-changing step forward for families 👶✨
However the funded hours kick in the term after the child turns 9 months old. This means some children may be even 13 months old before they get their funded hours, which I highlighted in Parliament 🌟📣

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. ✅

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. ✅🌹

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 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.❤️
