This country doesn't need stunts from this Government and its new Prime Minister. We may have a new face in Number 10, but it needs to be focussed on the issues which matter to hard working families across Aldridge-Brownhills.

The Prime Minister has now opened up Number 10 North - the office in the North of England which won't do anything for the issues and concerns which matter to all of us!

That is why I have written to the Prime Minister to end Labour’s huge housing target on the residents of Aldridge-Brownhills which will destroy our precious Green Belt!

This Labour Government insists on a new target of increasing housing in our community by 31%. This is unacceptable to me, and it is unacceptable to the residents of Aldridge-Brownhills.

Why are we being asked to do the heavy lifting for Birmingham? The Prime Minister must answer some key questions as to why Birmingham and Manchester are being let off the hook and Aldridge-Brownhills is being made to do the heavy lifting! - This doesn't seem fair to me, and I know it is not fair to all of you!

We all know this is wrong and please, Prime Minister Burnham, answer my letter and confirm your Government's position on your policy for the Green Belt and Grey Belt.

Let me assure all of the residents of Aldridge-Brownhills that together we will protect our precious Green Belt!

Today, I joined colleagues at Downing Street to call for urgent fair funding for hospices.

Hospices provide compassionate care and vital support to patients and their families during some of the most difficult moments in their lives. Yet many are now facing significant financial pressures and growing uncertainty.

Nearly 60% of hospices across England are considering cuts to frontline services.

The Government must bring forward a clear and sustainable funding model to help safeguard these essential services and ensure they remain available for those who need them, now and in the future.

The Croft is looking absolutely beautiful in the sunshine today - the kind of glorious weather we have all been waiting for!

As many of you have been enjoying the weather across Aldridge-Brownhills, it is worth noting that it also happens to be #NationalSunscreenDay. While we want to make the most of this heatwave, please do take care out there. I want to encourage all local residents to stay fully protected in the sun and keep well hydrated.

Enjoy the wonderful weather safely.

It was a simple yes or no answer that I was hoping for - yet this Labour Government refused to commit to extending the fuel duty relief.


At a time when families and businesses across Aldridge-Brownhills are feeling the pinch, this is a massive blow.


Rest assured I will keep fighting for a fair deal for our drivers, even when some Parties don’t bother to show up in the House of Commons.

Aldridge-Brownhills stands with Sean Egan!

This morning, I was on GB News continuing to speak up and air our collective frustration at what looks like the incredibly unfair dismissal of our Aldridge Morrisons Store Manager, Sean Egan.

For preventing a well-known shoplifter, an action that helps reduce the cost of goods for everyone during a cost-of-living crisis, I know many residents across Aldridge-Brownhills are immensely grateful to Sean.

Sean’s character speaks for itself. He will be running from Bilston Morrisons to Aldridge to raise money for Acorns Children's Hospice, tomorrow. This is a charity we hold so close to our hearts as a community, and his dedication to it shows the type of person Sean is - selfless and community-minded!

I have already written to the Chief Executive of Morrisons to express my concerns and those of the local community.

Tomorrow morning, I will be attending the peaceful protest to show my full support for our community and for Sean. Will you be joining?

This Labour Government’s approach to protecting our precious Green Belt was laid bare when I asked my question in Parliament!



Steve Reed campaigned against building on Green spaces in his area, and others, and then forces through building on green spaces when in Government.



As ever it is one rule for Labour and another for the rest of us.
