Today marks the end of Pride Month, and last week I spoke in a Pride Debate to celebrate York Pride 🏳️‍🌈 the volunteers that make it happen, and what a fantastic day it is for York! My contribution to the debate👇

This week, I am expecting the birth of my second son, and will be on paternity leave for at least four weeks. I'd like to say a heartfelt thank you to all those who have reached out and sent my family well wishes and kind words for the exciting next chapter in my family's life.

It was great to be on BBC York with Joanita Musisi a couple of weeks ago to talk about my campaign to improve paternity leave for dads in the UK. The UK has the worst paternity leave in Europe, it's simply not fair that dads are missing out. I'll keep fighting for dads, so they

Brilliant news that York Outer is getting £30,000 for grassroots sports clubs!⚽️ This investment from government is fantastic for our clubs from Rufforth JFC to Elvington Harriers, and I know the upgrades will make a real difference. yorkpress.co.uk/news/25276584.…

An NHS fit for the future. A healthier nation fit for the future. This is our plan.

My usual monthly advice surgeries are still going ahead while I am on paternity leave, with my brilliant team. The next one, with the team, is coming up on 12th July and will be held online. If you'd like to speak to my team about an issue you're facing or a policy you're

And we're only just getting started...

A year ago today, I had the immense privilege of becoming the Member of Parliament for York Outer. Since then, I have helped thousands of constituents, met hundreds of residents at surgeries and proudly put York Outer on the map in Parliament. It is the greatest honour to be

I’m delighted to share that Baby Louis arrived last week, weighing 9lb 3oz at York Hospital. Both he and my wife Beth are doing well, and I’m very proud that Robin is already being a brilliant big brother. A huge thank you to the outstanding team at York Hospital’s Maternity

Better transport links that support new homes and create good jobs. That's what people want in their communities. That's what my Plan for Change is delivering. Today we've given the greenlight to major upgrades for our roads and railways, with funding across the country.

Haxby Station is a fantastic win for our York community and one of only five national rail projects to receive Government funding today. I’m thrilled the Transport Secretary, Heidi Alexander MP acknowledged my advocacy for this project alongside our Mayor David Skaith over the past year.

Months ago, I called for lifting the alcohol ban in football stands. I’m now working with Amanda Louise Martin to get it right. Today, the Tories threw a gimmick into the Football Governance Bill on this — a distraction from the real progress Labour’s making to fix football for fans.

A month ago, after the Spending Review, I said I was confident this Government would deliver Haxby Station. Under the Tories, the station was unfunded and left in limbo for years. Now, thanks to strong collaboration between David Skaith and me, this The Labour Party Government is making

Working together to deliver for working people.

Yorkshire Water’s failure to invest is shameful – and yet again, it’s the public who are paying for their utter incompetence. I know from countless leaks in York alone, that they’d likely have been able to fill dozens of Olympic Swimming Pools – so I won’t accept this failure.

A huge week for York Outer! The Government has confirmed it will fund both Haxby Station and York Outer Ring Road Dualling Phase 1. As one of just three new rail stations nationally, alongside ring road dualling, this is a major boost for local transport and our community.

Last month, I joined a debate on the Theft of Tools of Trade, called by my colleague Amanda Louise Martin. The fact that over 75% of tradespeople have had their tools stolen is shocking, and I’ve heard similar stories from constituents as well. My contribution to the debate👇

🚦I get hundreds of emails every week, but one issue that comes up time and time again is road safety in our villages. I went to Poppleton recently to meet the team behind the campaign to improve road safety there. If you have an area you're concerned about, please do contact

The previous Conservative Government allowed record levels of toxic sewage to pollute the Foss and the Ouse in York. No more. This Labour Government has banned the payment of unfair bonuses to Yorkshire Water bosses. A message from Labour’s Environment Secretary Steve Reed MP👇
