The most recent immigration statistics show the scale of change since Labour took office. Net migration down 82% to 171,000, asylum hotel use down by 35% and small boat arrivals down 41%. The numbers speak for themselves.

The Chancellor has announced a temporary VAT cut from 20% to 5% on children's entry to theme parks, zoos, museums, cinemas, soft play and theatres during the school holidays. Children's meals in restaurants and cafes are also included. Great news for families this summer!

Extremely pleased to see that NHS waiting lists have fallen to their lowest level in 3.5 years, with over 312,000 fewer people waiting for treatment compared to last year. This is the largest year-on-year reduction in 16 years, with the number of people waiting more than a year dropping by almost half. After years of record waiting lists under the Tories, this is great progress and a testament to the hard work of NHS staff across the country. Alongside this, ambulance respons

Earlier this year I sponsored a Dogs Trust event in Parliament highlighting a shocking gap in animal welfare regulation. Rehoming organisations across England, Wales and Northern Ireland remain unlicensed with no inspection regime. I have written about why that needs to change and what a proportionate system of regulation would look like.

Labour’s Renters’ Rights Bill means stronger protections for 85,961 private renters across Hillingdon. Ending no-fault evictions, banning rental bidding wars, capping upfront rent to one month and limiting rent increases to once a year.

Since being elected in July 2024, my team and I have been taking a range of actions to tackle town-centre issue, from pressing for increased police resources and tougher national rules on shoplifting and mobile phone theft, to working with TfL on fare evasion and transport improvements. I recognise that there is still much to be done to make our town centre the best it can be. It is important for me to continue listening to residents. As a result of this, I arranged a drop-in

Pleased to see that under Labour, the number of patients waiting for treatment is down. After years of record waiting lists under the Tories, this is real progress and I look forward to seeing it continue.

Welcome news in Hillingdon! The Government has closed eleven asylum hotels and returned them to local communities, with more closures coming this spring. This includes the Holiday Inn Heathrow in Hillingdon. These closures will save taxpayers nearly £65 million a year, with overall asylum costs already down by nearly £1 billion since this Government took office. This is part of the Government's plan to end the use of asylum hotels entirely this Parliament.

Hillingdon is receiving £2.8 million as part of Labour's new Experts at Hand SEND service. Experts at Hand brings specialist professionals directly into local schools to support children with SEND - educational psychologists, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists all available closer to home.

Really pleased to hear that HRUC, the further education college serving Uxbridge and South Ruislip, is receiving over £4.6 million to repair and upgrade its college buildings. This is part of Labour's £1.7 billion investment to modernise further education colleges across the country, and great news for students in Uxbridge and South Ruislip. Better facilities mean better spaces for our young people to learn and succeed.

When this Government said we were going to fix the broken SEND system — we meant it. Thrilled to announce a boost of over £5 million to support specialist school places in Hillingdon

The abolition of the Tories’ 2 child benefit cap passed into law. In Uxbridge & South Ruislip alone, that means 3,090 children lifted out of poverty. Increasing the minimum wage, 30 hours free childcare & lifting children out of poverty - this is backing ordinary families who work hard, and deserve a fair deal.

Many residents have contacted me regarding the consultation that is taking place about relocating Mount Vernon Cancer Services. I will be meeting with the team leading on this to outline feedback from my constituents.

We need to have a conversation about the student loans system and deliver change. I went to university on the Plan 1 scheme and I've managed to pay off my debt, but those on Plan 2 are effectively subject to a graduate tax. Last week, I outlined the need for change in my letter to the Chancellor.

I met with the Minister for Sport Stephanie Peacock to discuss what can be done to give security for Wealdstone FC at Grovesnor Vale. Great to hear about the work being done by this Government to support grassroots football clubs that matter so much to communities

An absolute pleasure to host Dogs Trust as they let MPs know about their really important campaign to make sure all rehoming and rescue centres are properly licensed to protect animal welfare Always happy to help support our four legged friends.

Last year, I worked with the Department for Education to block Hillingdon Council’s plans to cut school budgets in the borough by £7 million. Now they’re back, proposing a further £3 million cut. I’m fighting once again to make sure this doesn’t happen.

We had a huge win in our fight to save the Rural Activities Garden Centre. The site has been awarded Asset of Community Value status. Meaning stronger protections before sale, and the chance for the community to offer to buy the site. The fight continues!

I joined MPs from across the House in support of the National League’s 3UP campaign for a third promotion place, in line with the rest of the professional football pyramid. I know how important such a move would be for local clubs such as Wealdstone FC.

Two fantastic teams from Bishopshalt School participated in the Pitch to Parliament week where they presented their business plans. Great initiative to help support the next generation of business leaders through partnership with Young Enterprise and the Department for Business and Trade.
