Current Campaigns
Whether it’s “dropped”, “shelved” or “watered down” the failure to deliver Great British Railways in full is a total betrayal of what we were promised by the Conservatives. They’ve abandoned Derby, abandoned the East Midlands, abandoned Rail.

Cuts in School Budgets
The Department for Education admitted to miscalculating the amounts of funding due to be granted to state schools in England next year, copping to a £370m error in the information they gave schools in July 2023.
Schools in Derby are set to be £3 million worse off in total

Tackling Looting and Abuse
I’ve met with Co-op staff in Chaddesden & Mackworth to discuss the massive increase in looting & abuse they’re seeing in stores. Staff saw a shoplifter during our meeting. Well done to Co-Operative Food for highlighting the surge in retail crime & the action it’s taking to protect staff.
Towards a National Legal Service
As part of my work with the Society of Labour Lawyers, I was excited to launch ‘Towards a National Legal Service’ - a new vision for access to justice. The Conservatives have allowed the justice system to crumble - we need to rebuild it.
Stopping Sewage in our Rivers
I was able to go out on our stunning River Derwent with Ben Seal from British Canoeing. It was concerning to hear more about the sewage being dumped through the overflows when we have heavy rain. We must keep the pressure on Government to take action to stop the pollution of our waterways. Sign our petition below.
Research into Long Covid
I am supporting Dr. Mark Faghy and his research team on research into Long Covid . I also spent time with patients hearing about the challenges of getting local clinical support and support from employers. Proud that such crucial work is being done in Derby
Supporting Alstom in Derby
I spent an Incredible day in support of Alstom & those working in its supply chain to stop thousands of job losses that will hit if the Tory Government continues to dither. We want to be building trains in Britain not importing from abroad but that’s what will happen unless we see action
Supporting Nuclear Test Veterens
It’s not right that Nuclear Test Veterans should receive their medals by 2nd class post. We’re working with the British Legion asking veterans and their families to get in touch so that they can receive a proper dignified ceremony at Derby Cathedral.
