Thank you Toby Perkins MP for this question in the HoC about the need for consistency in the policing of stalking and violence against women and girls, in light of the murder of Gracie, which did and still does send shockwaves across the town:

🚌 ALL ABOARD!

Today we jumped on the campaign bus and travelled across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire to meet businesses, residents and activists to share my vision for our region.

In my question to Rishi Sunak, I asked whether he feared that his appoaches to Iran and Israel were both failing.

I asked the Home Secretary whether, in light of the police failings in the Gracie Spinks case, he would back Labour's plans for more consistency across police forces on stalking?

Haven’t yet backed a charity winner but hoping this is the year and will be a donation to Ashgate Hospice either way.

Also good to meet staff at Ladbrokes on Sheffield Rd and talk about work they are doing to support local community and keep gambling fun in Chesterfield.

Informative and exciting visit to Chesterfield pipe supplier to the water industry Electrosteel (UK) in Sheepbridge- talking about their plans to expand and how we can help them to keep and expand jobs in #Chesterfield .

The deliberate and cynical destruction of Sure Start stands out - against stiff competition - as one of the worst long-term policy decisions taken by a British government in recent decades.

It's emerged that the man suspected of fatally stabbing a mother in Bradford is on bail for allegedly threatening to kill her.

Merci Emmanuel Macron.

Notre entente est cordiale, et nos engagements communs, comme celui aux côtés de l’Ukraine.

Face au retour de la guerre sur le continent, notre lien est plus crucial que jamais.

Long live the Entente Cordiale, vive l’amitié franco-britannique!

Just had really interesting meeting to discuss plans to develop an accessible disabled friendly pub CIC and community hub out of the Rectory pub.

Will be trying to support the application to secure funding.

It’s time for change. Vote Labour Thursday 2 May.

It is a disgrace that holidaymakers have been warned to stay out of Britain's waters.

Labour will put the water companies under special measures and give the regulator powers to block bosses bonuses until they have cleaned up their toxic filth.
