Voted against artists being able to keep copyright on works and allowing AI companies to steal information. Don’t forget to tell everyone that!
4 meetings, what were the outcomes?
Attended 4 meetings and a chat to a half empty chamber! Anything productive?
Whilst there has been rapid expansion of new homes across North West Leicestershire, the development of sports facilities and green spaces in places such as Ashby and Hugglescote aren’t keeping pace.
Today I asked the Minister in the Department for Culture Media and Sport, how we can ensure that as we build, we also protect and invest in the parks and pitches that bring our communities together.
I will continue working with all stakeholders to improve access to facilities for local people right across our area. ⚽🌳 ... See MoreSee Less

🚨Record Crackdown on Illegal Sewage Dumping🚨
➡️ 81 criminal investigations launched
➡️ 400 new inspectors hired to hold polluters to account
➡️ 7 court cases already underway
Complaints about sewage dumping in local waterways often arise on the doorstep. Many sites in and around our towns and villages are being ruined by sewage dumping. Cleaning up our rivers and brooks is one of my top priorities.
I’m fully behind the moves to crack down on water companies that fail communities and foul the environment.
I am proud to have been on the bill committee and vote in favour of the Water (Special Measures) Bill, which is now law, meaning water boses can now face up to 5 years in jail and allows fines of hundreds of millions.

Thank you for taking our local complaints seriously and persisting with this Amanda Hack MP.
Amanda isn’t it about time that you quit your ‘Nero Tribute Act’ as, whilst you busy yourself with local irrelevance, you seem to be blissfully unaware that your boss is ‘taking us all to hell in a handcart’!! You voted for the scrapping of WFA, you voted for no action on the evil Pakistani gang rapists, you were silent when The Chagos Islands were gifted to Mauritius and no doubt you’re ok with both Gibraltar being handed back to Spain and the brainlessness of an about turn on Brexit!!!! Just remember – nearly 7000 of your own constituents have had enough and want you gone!! And that’s just the computer literate ones that signed the petition for an early election – is it any wonder though as with both inflation ‘on fire’ and Angela Rayner suggesting that ‘Rachel from Accounts’ should now get her hands on our pension pots – it just gets worse & worse!!! As for ‘”smashing the gangs” nothing has happened has it so our country is being invaded almost daily with towns being turned into ‘no-go’ areas, added pressure on our NHS and a crime rate that has fast become almost unmanageable now that diversity has weakened our police force. When Churchill was threatened by an invasion from across the channel he acted positively and his ‘bulldog spirit’ won us the war – but he gets no thanks from Starmer does he – all he gets is his portrait stuffed in the cellar at no 10!! It’s a disgrace - the man is an insult to all that is British and all that we have worked for - and the sooner his own MPs wake up and tell him so then the sooner we might see sanity prevail.
The C suite needs thinning and people held to account for serious breaches that as likely could lead to major health issues for those who use the river recreationally

I managed to pop by the Epilepsy Society’s exhibit today in Westminster. We had a good chat about a number of different topics including medicine shortages, which is something i’ll pick up locally in my upcoming visits.
There are around 630,000 people in the UK who have epilepsy. For more information visit www.epilepsysociety.org.uk ... See MoreSee Less

🚨Third major trade deal in just two weeks🚨
A strong deal for Britain – with business and industry firmly behind it.
Here’s what today’s deal with the EU means:
💷 A £9 billion boost to our economy by 2040 – helping to grow jobs and investment
🐄 Some routine checks scrapped on animal & plant products – meaning smoother trade, lower food prices, and more choice on shelves!
🍔 British burgers and sausages back on EU shelves – great news for farmers and food producers
❌ No £800 million carbon tax – shielding families from higher energy costs
🏭 £25 million in steel tariffs scrapped – supporting our vital manufacturing sector
⚓ Fishing protected – UK quotas stay the same, EU access frozen, no extra rights handed over
🇬🇧 Access secured to a £150 billion fund to strengthen our defence and security industry
✈️ Easier holidays – UK travellers can now use e-gates at even more EU airports
🐾 Simpler pet travel – no more need for paperwork every time you take your pet abroad ... See MoreSee Less

Please go and have a chat with the fishing communities along our coast line. I'm not sure they'll be behind this "deal"
Where do the British fisherman sit....cant believe they are all behind the EU deal
The problem with Brexit is not the people who democratically voted for it but the MPs that failed to implement it properly and instead of carving out a great deal for the UK and Europe they ended up putting us in this mess whilst allowing the press to call us racist idiots instead of holding Parliament and David Cameron who ran off like a hurt schoolboy with no plan! No we are not all racist bigots but just wanted our politicians to run this country so we could hold them to account. But alas our politicians let us all down once again. And they are still doing it now!

One in three people with dementia in the UK are living without a crucial diagnosis. This has to change. This #DementiaActionWeek,
Currently in North West Leicestershire, the dementia diagnosis rate is 53.6%, over 10 percentage points below the national average (65.5%).
I'm standing with the Alzheimer's Society to make early and accurate diagnosis a priority.

Response to the NHS dementia diagnosis target cuts from Alzheimer’s Society uk. Thursday 30 January 2025 Today the dementia diagnosis rate target (that 66.7% of people living with dementia in England should have a diagnosis) has been removed from the NHS Operational Planning Guidance for 2025-6. Fiona Carragher, Chief Policy and Research Officer at Alzheimer’s Society, responds to the announcements: "Alzheimer’s Society is shocked to learn that dementia, including a dementia diagnosis target, has been removed from the NHS Operational Planning Guidance. This glaring omission is unacceptable and sends the message that dementia does not matter, and is not considered one of England’s healthcare priorities. It highlights a staggering lack of focus on a devastating condition that affects nearly a million people in the UK and contradicts the UK Government’s stated ambition to improve diagnosis rates.
Here are some of our casework successes in recent weeks supporting local people.
The team and I are here to help, so please don't hesitate to get in touch if you need any support.
