Your independent MP for Leicester South. Leicester is my heart, home, and commitment.
I’ve met many families in St. Matthews who were heartbroken when the sports hall closed.

So I’m working with residents to ensure the community centre is relocated smoothly.

But the call for indoor sports facilities is loud and clear - that’s why I’ve taken this straight to the top in Parliament.

One of my first acts as an MP was tabling an amendment to scrap the 2 child benefit cap

Labour dragged their feet while 109 children a day fell into poverty under their watch

But now, that changed - the cap has been abolished

I’ll keep working to ensure tackling child poverty remains a priority

As an optometrist, I've seen the power early detection plays in saving not just sight, but also lives.

Encouraging research shows the potential of retina scans spoting Parkinson’s 7 years before symptoms manifest.

The government must act now and fund early diagnosis programmes.

People. Powered. Politics.
That’s what this is all about.

Massive praise to every single person in Leicester who fought tooth and nail for our much-loved libraries.

Every petition, protest and voice mattered.

Let's keep the momemutum going for fair outcomes for Leicester’s community centres too!

We must ensure our policies do not fuel hate or be tools for scapegoating, political point-scoring, or mere headline grabbing.

They must never sow division.

Honoured to join the Sikh Community at today’s Nagar Kirtan procession and celebrating Sikh & Punjabi heritage at Guru Amar Daas Gurdwara

A beautiful reminder of the warmth, diversity, and togetherness that makes Leicester South so special.

Inclusive healthcare saves lives.
No community should be left behind.

Youth workers change lives.

They keep young people safe, build confidence, open doors, and strengthen our communities.

If the gov't is serious about safer neighbourhoods and brighter futures, it must give youth work the funding it deserves.

This city raised me. It’s my heart, my home, and my commitment.

I’ll always stand up for Leicester and its people in Parliament.
