On the 10^th June, I was interviewed on Sunday Politics. I discussed sexual entertainment licences, Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in politics, and the recent chaos surrounding Northern Rail.

On Friday the 8^th of June, I was interviewed in ‘The Hot Seat’ on ‘The Big Yorkshire Phone In’. I was grilled on a number of topics, ranging from Brexit to my personal best in the Bramley Park Run!

I am thrilled to announce that two events have been arranged in Leeds West for this year’s upcoming Great Get Together.

I welcome the recent news that the Council have announced plans to delay their post-16 SEND transport assistance offer. This means that over 16’s with special educational needs and disabilities will continue to receive transport to school for the upcoming academic year, as oppose to having to get by with personal travel allowances.

Excited to raise a glass of Baroness Bacon beer to Alice in Parliament next month!
Alice Bacon was a pioneer and a role model. She was Yorkshire’s first woman MP, blazing an inspirational trail for women across the county and the country. She also played a key role in some of the most important changes of the 1960s, particularly education reform. It is important that we remember her remarkable life and legacy, so I am delighted to have secured the Baroness Bacon beer brewed in her honour as the guest beer in Parliament’s Strangers’ Bar to give us the opportunity to raise a glass to Alice.

Last April, I tried to introduce a new law to cap rip-off overdraft fees in the same way as charges on payday loans are limited. Yet, more than a year later, lenders are still getting away with charging exorbitant fees.

As of this month, I have become a Breast Cancer Now MP Ambassador, in order to be better able to support my constituents who are suffering with the condition.

I am incredibly pleased that after so much hard work across all four wards, and the rest of the city, the campaign to #KeepLeedsLabour was a resounding success on 3 May!

It was great to enjoy the delights of Kirkstall Deli Market last month with with the Lord Mayor of Leeds Councillor Jane Dowson and our Kirkstall Councillors.

I am delighted that the Great Get Together is happening once again this June. It is an excellent way for communities to get together, build friendships and of course remember the late Jo Cox MP.
