I was delighted to recently meet my constituent Emmanuel, who visited to thank me for assisting him. I often receive thanks, but rarely in person. So this was particularly special to meet him in person and to meet his partner 🌹.

Fantastic to hear from local parents and cares about their experiences with the SEND system. It is absolutely vital for the upcoming SEND reforms to reflect these experiences to give them and their children the support that they deserve. Sign up for next week’s session here: bit.ly/4tstffL

Brilliant to visit Sedgehill School last Friday and meet students taking part in @talentfoundry's 'Skills for Life' workshops, helping young people build real-world financial skills like budgeting and career planning. More schools should be doing this! 🌟

Women's health has been neglected for too long. Today's Labour Women's Health Strategy will give women a real say in their care, streamline gynaecological services, and end outdated practices around pain relief. Long overdue. 💪
