It was great to meet with Mayor Claire Ward this week and discuss the progress towards the Chesterfield-Staveley Regeneration Route. I am delighted that she has unlocked £2.5 million to fund the ground investigation programme, marking a significant step forward for the project

It was great to see Jamie Oliver in Parliament promoting his dyslexia documentary on Channel 4.

It was wonderful to meet with pharmacists to learn how they can support people in Chesterfield with their health. Your local pharmacy is there if you need their help so we need to be there for them.

Following @Derbyshirecc recent Ofsted on SEND education, had a simultaneously inspirational and worrying meeting at Brampton Primary, a school with a great background in supporting SEND children.
But with 3 times more EHCP children than average the need for £ support is acute.

I spoke today, along with lots of Labour MPs in Commons coalfields debate.
Noted that Lee Anderson was there but chose not to make a speech and only asked one question...about West Cumbria!
Ashfield's former miners deserve someone who can be bothered to speak up for them.

Happy to meet doctors and specialists at @LeukUK reception in parliament.
In Chesterfield over the last five years 84 people have been diagnosed with Leukaemia, tragically 39 of them have died. I want to see the survival rates increase through better data monitoring.

On the 80th anniversary of the end of world war two, and #HolocaustMemorialDay :
"May the horrors of the holocaust stand as a permanent reminder of the horrors man can perpetrate against man.
And so we resolve that we shall never see its repeat again.
