Your independent MP for Leicester South. Leicester is my heart, home, and commitment.

Every 4 years the world speaks the same language: football. The World Cup is one of humanity’s greatest unifier. That spirit must never be triumphed by corporate greed. Proud to be part of parliamentary groups championing football, where I will continue pushing for fans to be put first. Always.

This is not the time for political choreography. Wish-washy statements do not save lives. Britain must act: End arms sales. End military cooperation. Impose widespread sanctions. Uphold international law. And call it what it is: Genocide.

Schools and families are left picking up the pieces of a failing system. This was a £180 million Government contract that has delivered too many delays. Pupils will now receive results in the summer holidays, without school support when it’s needed most. I’m pressing for answers in Parliament.

Wonderful to spend time with the families involved in the Family Voices programme, making a huge difference by connecting parents with vital support services. I’ll continue to champion families in Parliament, fighting for the support they deserve.

Level of violence against our rail workers is unacceptable. My constituents work tirelessly to keep passengers safe at Leicester station but are pleading for more support. I raised this vital issue with the minister who has promised his support.

Now is the time to turn words into action. I welcome continued investment in Leicester's services, including the future vision for a new Women's and Children's Hospital at the Leicester Royal Infirmary, and I'll continue working to help deliver safer, more compassionate maternity care in Leicester.

The Gaza genocide isn't a distant headline. There's a weapons factory right here in Leicester: Elbit Systems. Why are Ministers meeting arms manufacturers behind closed doors, while the public is left in the dark? I've put the questions on the record. The Government now owes serious answers.

1.15 MILLION people aged 60+ waited more than 12 hours in A&E last year. This is a national disgrace. I'm backing @AgeUKs demands to restore diginity, safety and urgency to emergency care. I'll keep raising this in Parliament because this level of neglect should never be normalised.

Had the pleasure of joining UK Business College to celebrate an incredible group of graduates. Wishing them all the best with their next chapter! Proud that Leicester South is hub for educational excellence.

Leicester South is proudly home to the oldest karate club in the UK! For 60 years, Leicester Karate Club has built champions, confidence and community. An honour to join their celebrations and table a motion in Parliament recognising this incredible milestone and the people who made it possible.

One of my favourite parts of the job is meeting the next generation of changemakers! It was wonderful to visit Rolleston Primary School and meet students buzzing with questions and great ideas. We must ensure young voices continue to shape the decisions that affect their future.

It's happening again: the Gazafication of Lebanon. Civilians are paying the price while the world just watches Isreali aggression unfold with immpunity. Why is the Labour government still enabling UK military cooperation with Israel?

Great to join almost 100 people in St Matthews to talk about diabetes prevention and healthier futures for our communities. With diabetes affecting thousands of families, prevention, early diagnosis and better support must be at the heart of our health agenda in Westminster.

“We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.” Jo Cox’s words stand as a lasting reminder that division is never the final word. Unity is far stronger. Today and always, we honour her memory by working to build a kinder, more united world.

If this Government is serious about British business, it should start by backing it. Stop offshoring textiles public procurement contracts, when a skilled workforce already exists in places like Leicester, ready and able to deliver.

I’ve met families in Leicester and beyond who lost loved ones in the crash. Their pain is still raw & they're still waiting for answers that never came. I stand with them in their calls for transparency, the final investigation report and clear accountability for how and why this tragedy happened.

While the world watches Palestinians being ripped from their homes, London is preparing to help sell them. An upcoming expo will promote property in illegal Israeli settlements built on Palestinian land. This is not just morally indefensible, it normalises and profits from a deadly occupation.

Our shopping baskets should never carry the weight of human exploitation or environmental harm. Great to meet Leicester Friends of the Earth to discuss protecting workers & our environment. I'll be championing their campaign in Parliament, pushing for real action that puts our planet over profit.

The only high-speed part was the spending. Taxpayers forked out £103 BILLION for HS2 - and for what? Countless delays, fraud allegations and zero transparency. How can a failure this large still be without accountability?
