From 25 June to 1 September, VAT on children’s meals, cinema tickets and attractions like zoos and theme parks will be cut from 20% to 5%. The Great British Summer Savings scheme will make days out more affordable while supporting local businesses. Let’s make this summer special for everyone.View post ↗
After lobbying the Chancellor, I welcome this vital support for Redditch & the Villages as global conflict drives up fuel costs. The 5p fuel duty cut is extended, saving drivers £120. Hauliers get a 12-month road tax holiday and red diesel is slashed to its lowest rate in 20 years.View post ↗
We need transparency to force big companies to protect their suppliers. I’ll ensure this delivers the security our local economy deserves.View post ↗
Cybersecurity isn’t just about tech, it’s about protecting Redditch jobs. The JLR attack proved that when big firms are hit, our local workshops and supply chains pay the price. I’ve secured a commitment for parliamentary scrutiny of the Government’s new Cyber-Resilience Index.View post ↗
I back the Mental Health Foundation’s Mental Health Action Plan, calling for better support for new parents and stronger Online Safety Act enforcement. Together, we can build a movement for good mental health in Redditch & the Villages.View post ↗
This Mental Health Awareness Week awareness isn’t enough, we need action. I’m fighting to tackle the root causes: poverty, poor housing and unsafe online spaces for our children.View post ↗
Thank you to all nursing staff across Redditch & the Villages for keeping us safe and healthy. Let’s ensure those who care for us are properly cared for too.View post ↗
Today is International Nurses Day. Nurses are the backbone of our NHS, delivering world-class care with skill and compassion every day but gratitude must mean more than words. Fair pay, safe staffing and real support are essential.View post ↗
