A look forward to 2026

🚉 A historic day for the Ivanhoe Line
Yesterday I was proud to lead the first ever parliamentary debate focused solely on the Ivanhoe Line.
This line helped shape our area. It played a key role in supporting local industry, and connected communities long before many of the towns as we know them today even existed.
Closed to passengers in 1964 (Not 2064 as I nearly said.. I'm only human!!), the Ivanhoe Line has never left local minds. Campaigns to restore it have continued for decades, a testament to how strongly people feel about its importance.
I was proud to share some of the history of the line and our local area as part of this historic debate and I'll be sharing little clips over the coming days of different parts of my speech.
This debate matters, not just for the past, but for the future of connectivity, opportunity and growth across North West Leicestershire and beyond.
🚉 The Ivanhoe Line’s story isn’t over.

🚨Response to the Leicestershire Police Budget 🚓
The unprecedented lack of support for the PCC’s budget from Leicestershire’s rightly concerned Chief Constable is yet another damning indictment of Rupert Matthews and how Reform UK want to take our public services backwards.
The proposed changes will create a £4.7m budget deficit for Leicestershire Police – with the Reform PCC acknowledging it means the force needs to make savings of, in his words, ‘just’ £1.2m in the next year – and see them lose around £6m over the next four years, equivalent to over 140 frontline officers.
As local MPs, we meet with residents every week whose lives are blighted by crime and anti-social behaviour. Our constituents deserve a police force where the focus is on fighting crime and rebuilding the neighbourhood policing that was decimated by the PCC’s former party.
Reform needs to tell the law-abiding people of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland how many police officers will be cut and which crimes will go unpunished as a result of their PCC’s decision, as it is the residents who will suffer the most.
Reform’s only PCC has lost the support of his Chief Constable on this budget whilst our Labour Government is investing in neighbourhood policing and bringing forward changes to make our communities safer. It’s clear to see which party is on the side of law and order.

Young people are trying to get the best start in life, but too often the first step is blocked by a lack of reliable transport.
A resident recently shared how her 16-year-old daughter has to leave home at 6:30am, wait for hours, and sometimes has no bus home at all. That’s not just inconvenient, it’s a barrier to education and opportunity.
We know there’s a skills gap in our region.
So how can we expect young people to engage in training, college, or apprenticeships if they can’t even get there?
We need transport that works for students, apprentices, and families.
I’ll keep battling for better buses, better reliability, and the best start in life for our young people. 🚌 ... See MoreSee Less

🚌 Rural bus services have been cut for too long across North West Leicestershire.
The new government funding is a step in the right direction to protect and enhance rural connectivity, but we still need better, more reliable services that people can actually plan their lives around.
I’ve seen and heard first hand how cuts and changes have hit our towns and villages, making it harder to get to work, college, healthcare and see family. It’s not always easy working with county colleagues to fight for the services you need and deserve.
But I’ll keep battling for better buses that our communities can depend on. 🚌 ... See MoreSee Less

The Holocaust stands as one of the darkest stains on humanity: the systematic murder of six million Jews, each one an individual life extinguished by a hatred that sought to erase the entire Jewish people.
As we mark Holocaust Memorial Day, we confront that truth directly, because remembrance is the first defence against denial, distortion and prejudice.
Together, we look back and challenge antisemitism wherever it appears. And ensure that ‘never again’ is a promise we uphold, not just a phrase we repeat. ... See MoreSee Less

💧 We are delivering the biggest shake-up of the water industry in a generation.
Earlier this week, the Government set out plans in the Water White Paper to tackle years of failure by water companies, with tough new powers to clean up our rivers, protect households from disruption, and hold companies to account.
We’ve seen these failures first hand recently.
In Coalville alone, there have been at least three burst water pipes in the last couple of weeks, alongside record sewage pumping into our waterways in Hugglescote over the last few years.
🚫This cannot continue.
This major shake-up will include:
✅ ‘MOT-style’ checks for pipes, pumps and infrastructure
✅ A smart meter rollout to cut waste and help lower bills
✅ A new regulator with real teeth
✅ Surprise and no-notice inspections for failing companies
✅ Stronger powers to step in fast when companies fail
This is about ending repeated chaos, protecting our environment, and making water companies work for the public again. ... See MoreSee Less
