Really enjoyed debating with other candidates at today's hustings - thanks to the Ilkeston Life team for putting it on! Recording on their YouTube channel in the next day or so. We've also been knocking doors in Sandiacre, talking about Labour's plan to crack down on crime.

Beautifully sunny but mercifully cooler on the doors in Ilkeston today. We were talking about our plan to boost careers advice and work experience for young people, with 1,000 new careers advisors and two weeks of high-quality work experience for all.

Another lovely day on the doors, and I took a break from the campaign to visit the Sawley Park Community Fun day, which was fantastic - thanks so much to the organisers for all their hard work!

Clocking a little earlier than usual in advance of the ⚽️ Reflecting on the campaign - it's been the most amazing, humbling experience being your Labour candidate. Remember though, change will only come if you vote for it, so go out this Thursday 4th July and vote Labour.

When the van met the bus... We celebrated the penultimate day of the campaign with a visit from the Labour Party's campaign bus and the fantastic Liz Kendall, our Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions. If you want change, go out and vote for it this Thursday.

Out for a little walk this afternoon in Sandiacre to see some of the fantastic efforts put in for the Sandiacre Scarecrow Festival this weekend. Thanks to everyone involved for putting a smile on my face! 😁

Today, I asked my first question in the House of Commons, focussing on pandemic preparedness following on from COVID-19. I hope it is a very long time until the next pandemic hits us, but it is absolutely vital that we are better prepared for it when it does.

The other Derbyshire MPs and I have written to Derbyshire Councty Council to express our deep concerns regarding closures of care homes and day centres and to request a meeting to discuss the issue. Letter below 👇

Market days in Erewash are getting a boost from the council – with the launch of a new campaign to tempt shoppers to our town centres. Deputy Leader Becca Everett said as she backed a drive to attract more stallholders to Ilkeston and Long Eaton: “The markets remain the

Back on the doors, listening to the issues in our community 😊

I had a really fantastic day out at the Ilkeston Heritage & Classic Vehicle Show today - incredible job by the organisers putting it together, and thanks to all the vehicle owners who made it so special. Always an absolute highlight of the year, everything went perfectly!

The Erewash Labour team and I have been out on doorsteps in Sawley, catching up following on from the election. We had some really productive conversations on everything from parking to the environment. Lovely to talk to people about the things that matter to them!

Congratulations to our hard-working members who were awarded 'Best Twinned Team' at Labour Conference. We mobilised dozens of H&FB activists and sent them to key marginals such as Erewash Labour during the general election, making a crucial difference in six Labour victories!

Great to be back in Erewash supporting a slate of fantastic candidates for the local elections with our friends Erewash Labour. Thanks to those who made the journey up!
