Wishing all the luck in the world to everyone at ParalympicsGB for the next 10 days. Another chance for GB to shine on the international stage, I'm sure each and every competitor will do our country proud

After 14 years of faltering from the previous government, and a failure to make us independent of fossil fuel dictators, this new Labour government is acting quickly to secure our energy independence and to bring bills down. Bravo Ed Miliband

Thanks to Coalfields Regeneration Trust for taking the time to talk about how we can work together to help support former mining areas like #Burntwood and #Handsacre. I'm already looking forward to our next meeting!

Important meeting yesterday, alongside other MPs, with Fire Brigades Union fire fighters from across Staffordshire to talk about the future of the brigade, the three rider trials, and how government can support the fire service.

Thank you to the lovely people of Morley Road in #Burntwood for the warm reception on the doorstep this lunchtime - always great to hear that people are happy seeing their MP out and about.

Parents and families across the constituency have reached out to me to share their experiences of SEND provisions across Staffordshire. That’s why myself, and a number of my Staffordshire colleagues, have written to the County Council Leader today.
