Keeping up the momentum for our mining families ⚒️
Following my speech in Parliament and my conversations with the Ministers, I joined Labour colleagues in our Coalfield Communities Group yesterday evening to meet directly with trustees of the Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme.
We had a very positive discussion on the next steps for the MPS fund, and we agreed to keep working closely together and sharing updates as our discussions with Treasury ministers progress.
This fight is deeply personal to me, to so many families across Amber Valley and the rest of the county. Our miners built and powered this country, and they cannot wait any longer for the money that is rightfully theirs.
We are working at pace behind the scenes to see this through to the finish line. ...

Catching cancer earlier across the East Midlands and the UK 🩺🩸
Catching cancer early saves lives. Nine in ten people diagnosed with bowel cancer at stage 1 survive at least five years, compared to just one in ten at stage 4.
That is why this Labour Government is backing a ground breaking £8.49 million trial to bring world-first multi-cancer blood tests directly to routine GP appointments.
The trial will involve over 20,000 patients across England, with the East Midlands selected as one of the key regions to take part. While specific GP surgeries haven't been selected yet, patient testing is expected to roll out from April 2027.
Giving our local GPs better diagnostic tools gets patients to the right hospital tests much faster. This is our National Cancer Plan in action, ensuring our region stays at the forefront of life-saving care. ...

Remembrance Sunday in Amber Valley
It was incredibly moving to see so many people come together across Amber Valley today to honour those who gave so much for our country.
Days like this remind us of the strength of our communities and the values that unite us across generations.
As I laid wreaths in Heanor this morning, Kilburn this afternoon and Somercotes this evening, I reflected on the sacrifices made by those who served, and on the freedoms we enjoy because of their courage. It was a privilege to stand alongside residents, Councillors, veterans, service personnel and community groups to remember them.
When you go home
Tell them of us and say
For your tomorrow
We gave our today.
I am proud to represent a constituency that always comes together so respectfully on Remembrance Sunday.
In honouring the fallen, we are reminded not only of our shared history, but also of the importance of unity, compassion and service to others in our communities today.
Thank you to the members of my team who laid wreaths on my behalf in Alfreton and Ripley. A special thank you to Heanor & Loscoe Town Council for helping to organise such a meaningful and well-attended service, and to our churches and faith leaders, whose support and participation helped make today's commemorations so poignant and reflective.
My thanks also go to the Royal British Legion, volunteers, community groups and everyone who worked so hard behind the scenes. Your efforts ensured that we could come together in remembrance, demonstrating the strong community spirit that makes Amber Valley such a special place.

🎆🎇 Thank you Codnor!!! 🎇🎆
What a wonderful community bonfire and fireworks event last night in Codnor at the Alfreton Road Recreation Park.
It’s the third time I’ve had the honour of judging the Guy competition, lighting the fire and doing the countdown for the fireworks. My favourite thing: seeing the community coming together to enjoy the event and seeing the kiddos living their best lives!
Well done to Ryder who won this years best Guy. There were more entries into the competition than ever this year so it was a great achievement. I hope he enjoys his pick and mix prize!
Thank you Codnor Parish Council for putting on such a brilliant free event that everyone can enjoy. Thank you to everyone who thew in a donation into the buckets of whatever they could afford. And of course to the amazing volunteers who took those collections, who set up the event and not forgetting those who picked up the litter at the end.
Thanks also to Fuse Fireworks for putting on a great show!
I went home to cuddle my Benji cat. I know pets have a hard time at this time of year, which is why I think pre-organised events that people can plan around for their animals is the best way forward. 😻
I hope you all enjoyed the event as much as I did.
If you’re attending or hosting a bonfire/fireworks event this evening, please do stay safe!

Job adverts should tell you how much a job pays.
This Labour Government has announced plans to make salary information mandatory in job adverts.
This means:
✅Clearer information about pay before applying
✅Less time wasted on unsuitable applications
✅Greater transparency to help tackle pay discrimination
Many employers already publish pay information, and we want to make this good practice standard practice. It's a simple, common-sense change that will make the
jobs market fairer and more transparent for everyone. ...
