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.

Illegal Migration Act Repeal Voted FOR
£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. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Defence Spending 2.5% GDP Voted AGAINST
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.
Bluesky post · 2025-08-01
Water Company Regulation Absent / no vote
The days of water bosses taking bonuses while dumping sewage are over. Labour has banned bonuses for several water company bosses - including at Anglian Water. After years of pollution and no accountability, we're putting an end to rewards for failure.
Bluesky post · 2025-06-07
NHS Waiting List Targets Absent / no vote
The Labour Government is delivering real change. By shifting management of the NHS back into democratic hands, we are cutting wasteful bureaucracy and using the savings to hire more doctors and nurses—helping to reduce waiting lists and get patients seen faster.
