I broadly welcome today's Budget for the steps it takes towards helping working people, especially ending the two-child limit. Our government has listened and I am happy that the measures better reflect our Labour values. (1/3)

The English Devolution Bill returns this week. One key part is Community Right to Buy, which gives local groups the chance to take control of community assets. I’ve tabled an amendment to make sure this includes assets that further the environmental wellbeing of local communities — like The Heavens

Outside the Department of Health with WeOwnIt making our message clear - there is no place for PFI in our NHS.

Yesterday, I asked the Minister if she’d come to Stroud to join The Night Angels on one of their evening patrols and see the amazing work they do keeping our community safe.

Delighted to get the thumbs up and I look forward to welcoming her to Stroud!

Proud to support The Cotswold Canals Trust in gaining £6.4m of National Heritage funding to restore the 'Missing Mile'. Massive congratulations to all those involved especially the hard work of the volunteers who are at the heart of this operation.

The pensions industry in the UK is colossal - worth almost £3 trillion. But too much of that money is still flowing into the arms trade and fossil fuels industry. The Pension Schemes Bill offers us an opportunity to change this. (1/2)
