We want hungry minds, not hungry bellies.

Free breakfast clubs were only available in 1 in 10 schools under the Tories. Labour is making them available for all our children.

£100m border security boost, offering practical solutions not gimmicks.

This includes a pilot “one-in, one-out” deal with France – for the first time, migrants arriving illegally on small boats will be returned to France.

I visited The Canopy in Grant Thorold Park for lunch between meetings last week. It's great to support local spots like this. They’re open daily except Tuesday (10:00AM–2:30PM) all summer.

Last week, Reform UK launched a campaign against so-called energy “eyesores”. Yet their Mayor wants to cover Lincolnshire with fracking rigs.

This isn’t about land or eyesores. It’s about repeating the line that their millionaire donors tell them to say.

It needs calling out.

🚨 Starting Monday🚨
A new community-led service is launching in the East Marsh to provide residents with free, face-to-face advice and personalised support to help them through tough times.

My casework team and I work hard year-round to support local residents across Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes. Here's what two local residents had to say.

Have an issue? Let me know at melanieonn.org.uk/tell-melanie/

Words into action in Grimsby - I'm pleased to see more being done to tackle dodgy vape shops selling illicit goods on our high street and I will keep pressing Government on this issue.

It was good to drop into the North East Lincolnshire Armed Forces Community Health Fair yesterday at Grimsby Town Hall.

Well done to everyone involved, it was really interesting to hear how you are supporting local residents.

Reform Mayor refuses to support industries Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes.

Thousands of people in Lincolnshire are employed in renewable jobs, yet Lincolnshire's Reform Mayor has stated none of her government funding will be spent on supporting the industry.

Yesterday, I wrote to the Greater Lincolnshire Mayor, Andrea Jenkyns, calling upon her to use part of her devolved budget to help secure a crude oil shipment for the Prax LOR refinery and to back skills and retraining support for workers.

It's been a year since the General Election, so I wanted to take the opportunity to look back and celebrate some of the big wins we've had in that time.
