Some nights in Parliament can end very late, like Monday when our session ended just before midnight. But it was for a more than worthy cause, recognising Baby Loss Awareness Week.
I spoke during the debate to highlight the vital work of organisations like Sands United FC Ashby, which provides life-changing support to those who have experienced baby loss.
I also shared the powerful words of Sarah, one of my constituents, about her personal experience. Her courage, and the stories shared by so many MPs, made the debate deeply moving and reminded us all why this matters so much.
We must now work closely with the national maternity and neonatal investigation and affected families to drive the changes needed in care and support. ... See MoreSee Less

Did you know it’s Flood Action Week?
Yesterday in Parliament I popped by the Floodmobile which is a mobile Property Flood Resilience (PFR) demonstration unit.
It offers a hands-on look at practical, affordable measures that can help protect homes and communities from the devastating impact of flooding.
You can find out more about PFR here: floodmary.com/help-and-resources/
Ahead of the winter months, now is the time to get prepared and protect your home and family.
Before it floods:
🏠 Check your risk: gov.uk/check-long-term-flood-risk

🤝 Find an Insurer: floodre.co.uk/find-an-insurer

Lovely to spend time talking with local businesses in Castle Donington yesterday.
It was fantastic to hear about the recent trader-led meetings around the vitality funding and how this might be best spent. That, alongside discussing the parking problems, phone signal and much more.
If you haven't popped into the local businesses before, I would certainly recommend taking a look around! ... See MoreSee Less
