I held my surgery in Overseal this morning and had people come to me with such personal, heartbreaking stories as well as others with worries over an incinerator and closure of care homes. Wherever my team and I can help, we will. #SouthDerbyshire #WeNotMe

Women have disproportionately paid the price when our health service has failed. The Women and Equalities Committee is leading work on healthcare inequalities and medical misogyny - and I urge Ministers to place women's needs at the heart of the plan to fix the NHS. #endometriosis #womenshealth

The first duty of any government is to protect its citizens. The Tories failed to maintain our flood defences putting lives and livelihoods at risk. Labour is investing a record £2.65bn to upgrade and build defences to protect communities. www.ft.com/content/4d8a...

It was an incredible honour to be invited by their Majesties the King and Queen to a reception for new MPs at #BuckinghamPalace. I thanked #TheKing for his years of activism on environmental issues and the #ClimateCrisis. He said, “the time is now”. And it is. It has to be.

Just like much of the furore this week, here is an example of a law passed 4 years ago and the Tories did nothing with it. Within months of us being in power we delivered the scheme because we are about actual actions and real outcomes. They talked we walked. www.burytimes.co.uk/news/2484314...
