A look forward to 2026
Over the past year, alongside colleagues in the Labour Rural Research Group (LRRG), I’ve continued to work closely with local farmers. I’ve met with more than 50 farmers across North West Leicestershire and have consistently pressed the Government to rethink its Inheritance and Property relief proposals.

This government is determined to fight your corner when it comes to consumer protections. That’s why we’re transforming the energy market to ensure it works for you.
Energy consumers have had to put up with suppliers collapsing, the scandal of the forcefitting of pre-payment meters, delays to compensation claims, and poor customer service ranging from inaccurate billing to faulty smart meters. We are tackling this situation with sweeping changes to the regulator Ofgem, which include:
✅ Banning bosses’ bonuses in cases of wrongdoing
✅ Stronger powers for Ofgem to enforce consumer law directly
✅ Speeding up redress for customers
✅ Strengthening powers in unregulated sectors like heating oil
After more than a decade of allowing poor behaviour from energy companies to go unchallenged, this Labour government is committed to standing up for families and businesses and fighting their corner.
That’s alongside other measures announced this week to move faster towards cheap, clean power that we have control over to break the link between international gas price spikes and your bills.
That includes:
⚡️ New fixed contracts for low-carbon electricity generators to move them away from volatile global markets.
🏡 More social housing upgrades for better energy-efficient homes
☀️ New renewables on publicly owned land, brownfield and industrial sites
🚘 Making it easier to own EVs, install heat pumps and solar
📚 100 more schools to see GB Energy solar panels this summer
☢️ Expanding British Nuclear Power through small modular reactors
There is only one route to energy security and national security, and that is going further and faster on clean, homegrown power that we control. ... See MoreSee Less

When diagnosed early, nine in ten people survive bowel cancer.
The age for screening for bowel cancer has dropped in recent years and you can be screened from the age of 50.
As a County Councillor before I was an MP I raised a number of questions about screening as it’s such an important part of our NHS.
That’s why this #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth, I'm helping Bowel Cancer UK raise awareness of the disease, so everyone has the best chance of an early diagnosis.
Knowing the symptoms is important to help spot bowel cancer early. The earlier it’s found, the more treatable it’s likely to be.
Get involved today and #PassItOn.

We are doubling down on clean power to deliver energy security for families and businesses.
This Labour government has acted to bring energy bills down by 7% this month, locked in until the start of July. We’ve also taken urgent action to help homes reliant on heating oil and LPG, thanks to our work on the Labour Rural Research Group, working closely with the Treasury to voice the impact of rising prices and market volatility on you.
Yesterday we announced a package of measures that will help end our dependence on international fossil fuel markets and move faster towards cheap, clean power that we control.
That includes:
✅ More social housing upgrades for better energy-efficient homes
✅ New renewables on publicly owned land, brownfield and industrial sites
✅ Making it easier to own EVs, install heat pumps and solar
✅ 100 more schools to see GB Energy solar panels this summer
✅ Expanding British Nuclear Power through small modular reactors
That’s alongside offering low-carbon electricity generators, which still rely on volatile global market prices, fixed price contracts to protect you when prices spike. This could cover around 30% of our current power supply.
With instability in the Middle East impacting people back here at home, there is only one route to energy security and national security, and that is going further and faster on clean homegrown power that we control. ... See MoreSee Less

💻 We’ve all got them… subscription services.
And let’s be honest - most of us have, at some point, forgotten to cancel a free trial or struggled to work out how to do it. That’s about to change.
From next year new rules will make subscriptions fairer and easier to manage, including:
✅One-click cancellation
✅A 14-day cooling-off period after free trials or auto-renewals
✅Clear, upfront information before you sign up
✅Require reminders before trials end or contracts renew
Too many people have been caught out by unwanted renewals and having to jump through endless hoops just to cancel.
We believe you should be in control, with transparency and fairness at the heart of every contract and that's why we're making these changes. ... See MoreSee Less

This morning I attended the Primrose Service at Christ Church Coalville. A Remembrance Service dedicated to the memory of the Whitwick Mining Disaster of 1898.
The local community have been resolute in the way they have preserved the memory of every single life lost in the disaster as well as recognising those grieving families in the aftermath. The care they put into this work is remarkable.
It was an honour to plant a Primrose in the memorial garden.

It's great to see Moira Furnace Museum and Country Park officially reopen following the recent renovation works. A huge thanks goes to the The Moira Furnace Museum Trust team for all their hard work, not just during this renovation but over the years for preserving such an amazing part of our local history. That's alongside organisations like The National Forest and This Is NWLeics.
Whilst I couldn't attend in person on Thursday to mark the reopening due to Parliamentary commitments, one of my team did attend on my behalf. I did
pop by last week though, although there was no giant red ribbon or lovely sunshine then! ... See MoreSee Less

It was brilliant to be with so many amazing Women for the renewal of our Women's Health Strategy earlier this week in Westminster.
Too many women have had their symptoms brushed aside or dismissed altogether because of long-standing bias in healthcare. That needs to change.
This Labour Government's Women’s Health Strategy aims to confront these issues head-on and ensure women and girls are properly heard and supported within the healthcare system.
Key points include:
🏥Helping women see the right specialist sooner, with shorter waiting times, so conditions like endometriosis are diagnosed and treated more quickly
💊Updating standards around pain management so women receive appropriate and effective relief during invasive gynaecological procedures
📚Investing £1 million in better menstrual education, alongside improved access to contraception and abortion services
That's alongside using women’s feedback to shape funding and drive improvements, ensuring services are accountable for listening and responding to women's needs.
