House of Commons Garden of Remembrance
Dame Nia Griffith (Llanelli)
This week in Parliament, I planted a stake in the Speaker of the House of Commons’ Garden of Remembrance from the Llanelli constituency.
The Garden honours the sacrifices made by so many in defending our freedoms, our values and our way of life.
Opening every November since 2021, in partnership with the Royal British Legion, this year, as in previous years, I placed a stake there to mark the lives of all those with links to the Llanelli area who’ve fallen.
October Monthly Update

October Round up October started by returning back to Banbury from Liverpool after the Labour Party Conference. As Parliament was still on recess for a little while longer, I was able to continue prioritising local businesses and organisations. I am always out and about around Banbury and North Oxfordshire, meeting with people and speaking to residents. /

City MP supports Labour’s £75 million boost for hospices transforming end-of-life care
Stephen Morgan (Portsmouth South)
As an advocate for hospices across the South East, Portsmouth South MP Stephen Morgan has given his support to the improvements being made to end-of-life care through Labour’s provision of £75 million to deliver major upgrades and enhancements to facilities including separate family rooms, and communal lounges.
More than 170 hospices across England were chosen to receive a share of this funding for the 2025/2026 financial year. This marks the largest cash injection ever and is ensuring patients receive the highest quality end-of-life care in comfortable, dignified surroundings with upgrades including specially adapted beds, rooms, and technology.
15 hospices within the South East region has been allocated combined total of over £9.5 million of this funding.
The cash injection has been distributed by Hospice UK to hospices, who have been able to proceed with upgrades and invoice Hospice UK once work has been completed.
Commenting, Stephen Morgan MP for Portsmouth South said:
“Hospices are able to provide a vital service for our communities and will always be needed to do so, supporting not only those who are facing terminal illness but their families as well.
“I am grateful that locations within the South East have been there in the past to care for Portsmouth residents when necessary.
“This Government’s £75 million injection has allocated hospices funding to make substantial upgrades to the overall quality of end-of-life care across Britain.”
Commenting on the initial announcement of this funding, Minister for Care Stephen Kinnock MP said:
“Hospices play a vital role in our society by providing invaluable care and support when people need it most. “
At this most difficult time, people deserve to receive the best care in the best possible environment with dignity.
“I have seen first-hand how our funding is already making a real difference to improving facilities for patients and families. This additional funding will deliver further upgrades, relieving pressure on day-to-day spending.
“End-of-life care is crucial to our 10 Year Health Plan and our fundamental shift of moving more care out of hospital and into the community. We will continue to support hospices so they can deliver their vital work.”
This £75 million funding follows other improvements already by this Labour Government to hospice care across the country, including:
- Major building works and modernised facilities
- Digital transformation to improve data sharing between healthcare providers
- Development of outreach services to extend care beyond physical buildings
- Creation of more welcoming spaces for families, including outdoor areas
- Energy efficiency measures to improve sustainability
Additionally, on 16 October this Government announced that children’s and young people’s hospices will be receiving almost £80 million in support over the next 3 years, split across £26 million annual instalments.
This multi-year settlement will ensure that thousands of children can continue to receive compassionate care and support and provide certainty for vital services providing support for seriously ill children and families.

Chancellor welcomes award-winning Newcastle chef to No11 Downing Street

Amanda Martin, Labour’s MP for Portsmouth North, welcomes landmark reforms to national curriculum after years of Tory neglect
Amanda Martin (Portsmouth North)
Amanda Martin, Labour’s MP for Portsmouth North, has today welcomed sweeping reforms to the national curriculum, designed to equip every child with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in modern Britain.
- Labour’s reforms to update the national curriculum will enable young people across Portsmouth to seize opportunities so they can achieve and thrive in the modern world, including navigating the threat of fake news and online disinformation
- High standards for every child with strong foundations in oracy, reading, writing and maths especially in primary and the “lost years” at the start of secondary
- Revitalised curriculum delivers on promise in Labour manifesto and is central to the Prime Minister’s target of two-thirds of young people participating in higher-level learning by age 25
After over a decade of Conservative neglect, during which young people were left unsupported without the essential qualifications or the skills needed to get on in life, Labour is taking action to raise standards and restore opportunity for every child.
Responding to the Curriculum and Assessment Review led by Professor Becky Francis, the government will overhaul the curriculum to ensure strong foundations in reading, writing, maths and oracy – especially in primary and the “lost years” at the start of secondary school.
For the first time, children will be taught how to spot fake news and online disinformation, alongside financial literacy and civic education, preparing them for life in a fast-changing world.
Alongside academic reforms, the government is also setting out a new core enrichment entitlement, so that every child – wherever they go to school – has access to sport, the arts and more.
The reforms deliver on Labour’s manifesto promise and are central to the Prime Minister’s target of two-thirds of young people participating in higher-level learning by age 25.
They also come alongside a suite of measures introduced as part of this Labour government’s Plan for Change to ensure that every child has the opportunity to achieve, regardless of where they come from, and to provide more practical support for families.
With the delivery of 30 hours of free childcare, free breakfast clubs saving parents £450 a year, a cap on branded uniform items and £1.4 billion to fix the inherited state of crumbling classrooms, this Labour government is building a better future for our children and their families.
Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson, said:
“It has been over a decade since the national curriculum was updated, and it’s more crucial than ever that young people are equipped to face the challenges of today, so they can seize the exciting opportunities that life has to offer.
“The path to our country’s renewal runs through our schools: they must be an epicentre of the strongest possible foundations of knowledge, and the skills to excel in the modern world.
“From the fundamentals of reading to the present danger of spotting fake news, as part of our Plan for Change, these landmark reforms will help young people step boldly into the future, with the knowledge to achieve and the skills to thrive as the world around us continues to rapidly evolve.”
Amanda Martin, Labour MP for Portsmouth North, said:
“For over ten years, the Tories left young people unsupported, without the essential qualifications or the skills needed to get on in life, and in that time, the world has changed beyond recognition. The curriculum hasn’t been reviewed in a decade, and our children have been left learning in the past while life moved on.
“Labour’s reforms will give every child in Portsmouth North the confidence to think critically, stay safe online with strong cyber and media literacy, build financial skills for life, and seize the opportunities of the future. This government is putting our children first and putting ambition back at the heart of our education system, including ensuring pupils learn about our rich local history and the role Portsmouth has played in shaping our country.
“I am proud to back these reforms, which will ensure every child has the chance to succeed in life, irrespective of their background.”

Barking MP helps local beauty businesses “take over Parliament” for British Beauty Week
Nesil Caliskan (Barking)
Local beauty businesses and students showcased their contribution at a special event in Westminster.
Nesil Caliskan, Member of Parliament for Barking, helped local beauty businesses “take over Parliament” to celebrate this year’s British Beauty Week. Hairdressers, nail salons and beauty academy students – all from Barking and Dagenham – were invited to Parliament by the MP for a special reception and tour.
British Beauty Week is promoted by the British Beauty Council every year to celebrate the contribution of beauty businesses to our economy and high streets.
The theme of this year’s Beauty Week is the future of beauty, highlighting the industry’s innovation and sustainability. The UK beauty industry contributes over £31 billion to the economy each year and supports more than 85,000 jobs in London.
Commenting on the takeover, Nesil Caliskan, Member of Parliament for Barking said: “I invited local beauty businesses and students to takeover Parliament to celebrate their contribution, let them know how important they are for our community, and how much this government values them.
“They employ hundreds of local people, bring life to our high streets, and help people feel great every day. They are vital for our local economy, and today’s takeover proved the future of beauty is undoubtedly in Barking and Dagenham.”
Victoria Brownlie, Chief of Policy & Sustainability at the British Beauty Council, who was at the event, said: “The hair and beauty industry provides so much to so many and events like this help those working in the industry to feel seen, recognised and appreciated, just as they deserve to. Their social, cultural and economic contribution cements them as serious businesses, not just fluffy stuff that girls do, and we’re so grateful to Nesil for shining a light on this during British Beauty Week.”
Erica Brobbey, from Empress Hair and Beauty, a business in Barking, said: “It was an honour to join fellow beauty professionals in Parliament and proudly represent Barking and Dagenham’s thriving beauty community. Meeting other business owners and speaking with Victoria from the British Beauty Council was truly inspiring. The event highlighted the real impact our industry has, not just economically, but in the confidence and wellbeing it brings to people every day.
“I’m proud to be part of a community that continues to empower others and contribute so positively to the local economy. Events like this show that the future of beauty is bright, and it’s happening right here in Barking and Dagenham.”
Labour Government delivers extra energy bill support for 280,000 more families in the North West
Jeff Smith (Manchester Withington)
- 280,000 more families in the North West will receive £150 off their energy bills through the Warm Home Discount
- One in five families across Britain will get help with their bills, providing households in Manchester Withington with vital support
- Letters confirming eligibility for this winter are beginning to arrive for families across the area
Around 280,000 extra households in the North West will see their energy bills cut by £150 as a result of the Labour Government’s expansion of the Warm Home Discount.
Thousands of families in the North West are beginning to receive letters detailing their eligibility, as Labour expands vital cost of living support to all billpayers on a means-tested benefit.
Labour is acting to protect families across the country, bringing nearly 2.7 million additional households into the scheme – pushing the total number of households receiving the discount up to an estimated 6.1 million.
Jeff Smith, MP for Manchester Withington said:
“This vital support will make a real difference to families in Manchester Withington struggling with the cost of living.
“Labour is determined to secure our energy system and protect households from energy bills that are still too high.
“The expanded Warm Homes Discount will provide essential support to families in our area this winter.”
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said:
“Letters will be dropping on doormats across the country this week, containing welcome news for hundreds of thousands of families.
“This Government is determined to tackle energy affordability for families, and this winter more people will be helped as a result.
“I would urge anyone who doesn’t automatically qualify for the discount to get in touch with their supplier, so they get the money they are entitled to.”

Campaign for improved NHS investment in Dereham Community Health Facilities - UPDATE
George Freeman (Mid Norfolk)
The continuous rising pressure on local community health and care services like dentistry, osteoarthritis and mental health in Dereham and neighbouring villages, combined with the closure of the Toftwood Surgery and the Government’s announcement of a 50% increase in the compulsory new housing targets for Breckland and Dereham is simply not sustainable. We have to secure additional NHS investment in Dereham and a plan for how the growth in demand for local healthcare services in the town will be met.
To do that it’s important that all of us with an interest in local healthcare services - GP practices, pharmacies, patients and Councillors come together to map out growing demand over the next few years and make a powerful case to DHSC and local NHS management that Dereham needs properly planned investment in community health facilities if we are to cope with the rising demand.
That’s why over the last 18 months I have worked to:
• Establish the Dereham Town Plan Action Group to lobby for a plan for the town centre and future health services. It is very good to see the Integrated Care Board join the group in December 2024.
• Volunteer to help broker an agreement between the Toftwood Surgery landlord and NHSe in an attempt to expand the Surgery. Unfortunately, an agreement was not reached between the landlord and NHSe requiring a temporary fix by the NHS to relocate Toftwood patients to the north of the town.
• Meet with the Toftwood Pharmacy and Patients, Orchard and Theatre GP practices.
• Suggest the formation of a Dereham Community Healthcare Taskforce to propose a vision and plan to lobby for necessary NHS funding.
I am pleased that local NHS management are listening to local views towards developing a Plan, and I encourage my constituents to share their views and help shape the needs of our town. To do that it’s vital that we speak with one voice.
That’s why in the New Year I have suggested a roundtable of local health leaders, councillors and other stakeholders to push forward on a shared Dereham Health Plan 2050 which we can all support.

October Newsletter
Mohammad Yasin (Bedford)
Dear Constituent,
Coming out of the summer recess, a short sitting in Parliament, and then straight into party conference season always feels like a bit of a whirlwind, but I have been very pleased with the amount of work that has still happened in Westminster this year.
With landmark progress on the world stage, important policy announcements at home, visits, openings, debates, there’s plenty to digest from the last month or so. And of course, work in the constituency continues at pace, including helping constituents with casework matters.
In such a busy time, it’s more important to me than ever to hear from you on the issues that matter most, and I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to get in touch about their views, issues, and concerns. My team and I are here to help, so please do reach out!
Yours sincerely,
Mohammad Yasin MP
Constituents get in touch
Since my last newsletter, my office has created over 800 new cases for constituents, receiving nearly 2,000 emails, as well as letters and phone calls, and issues raised at my drop-in surgeries.
Being here to listen, and offer my help and support, is my first priority as your MP. My team and I will always do all we can to help, or direct people to alternatives on issues that we can’t assist with ourselves. Constituents are always welcome to get in touch, with the easiest way being to email office@mohammadyasin.org. Please include your name and address, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
As well as helping out with issues to do with visas, housing, access to health services, and lots of other casework queries, I have also heard from many of you about a number of recent events and announcements. One such topic is the Government’s proposal to introduce a Digital ID system. I completely understand why people have questions and concerns, particularly given the amount of confusing and sometimes misleading information circulating online.
While I welcome open discussion about how technology can improve access to services, I regret that so much misinformation has spread before we even know the final shape of the plans. Some of the claims circulating, such as that people will be constantly tracked or required to show ID to go about daily life, are simply not true. Many democratic countries already use digital identity systems successfully, with strong protections in place to keep personal freedom and privacy at their core.
That does not mean there are no legitimate concerns. Questions about privacy, data security,
and oversight must be taken very seriously, and I share the view that trust will depend entirely
on how the system is designed and introduced. We must avoid any unnecessary burden on people, ensure data is protected, and make sure there are strict limits on how and when information can be used. There must also be robust alternatives for anyone who does not want to use the digital system.
In simple terms, what’s being proposed is a free and optional digital form of identification, designed to make it easier to access certain public services, such as tax, childcare, or driving licence applications. It could be stored on a smartphone or similar device, but no one would be forced to use it. The only situation where the Government has said a Digital ID might become mandatory is for the existing “Right to Work” check that employers already have to carry out; and even then, this would not mean needing to carry around Digital ID to present in our daily lives, and would not involve the Government gathering new data that it doesn’t already hold.
It’s also important to be clear that no final decisions have been made. The Government has said there will be a full public consultation, and any system would need to go through Parliament before it could become law. That means MPs will be able to scrutinise, amend, or reject the proposals, and many important details are still to be worked out. These include how to best protect personal data, how to support people who don’t use smartphones, and what privacy safeguards must be built in.
As your Member of Parliament, I will examine the proposals closely when they come before the House, and I will push for strong safeguards, clear limits on use, and proper oversight. I will also encourage constituents to take part in the consultation once it opens, so that your voices are heard. This is exactly the kind of issue where thoughtful public input can make a real difference.
In the constituency
It’s been another busy month across Bedford and Kempston, here’s a round up of my meetings and visits:
- Westfield Primary School to see progress on their new nursery, one of the first in the country to benefit from expanded government-funded childcare. With Phase 2 now launched, backed by £45m, at least 300 more school-based nurseries will follow.
- The opening of newly-laid pitches at Bedford Sports and Hockey Centre. With £400m announced nationally for grassroots sport, it’s fantastic to see local investment already in action.
- Bedfordshire Festival of Walks, hosted by the Ramblers, celebrating our countryside and community. It was a pleasure to join in on a walk.
- I joined the Police and Crime Commissioner, Chief Inspector Andy Smith and community officers for a town centre walkabout. We discussed anti-social behaviour, shoplifting, e-scooters and community safety. The “Safer Streets, Safer Town Centre” initiative is already showing encouraging results.
- Daisy Hill Family Hub’s community event, enjoyed by families of all ages.
- I enjoyed Simon’s “Paintings of Bedford” exhibition in aid of the Kings Arms Project.
- Food etc’s “Building a Healthier Bedford Together” event, highlighting their brilliant cookery workshops.
- I was inspired by Year 12 students at Mark Rutherford School, who asked thoughtful questions on policing, healthcare, AI, jobs and more. Giving young people a real voice through votes at 16, investment in youth services, and opportunities for skills and apprenticeships is vital.
- I met Kiran Singh of The Sattva Collective, a new CIC supporting South Asian women through midlife and menopause.
- I received an update from Mike Berrill on plans for an Open Learning school in Bedford, supporting children within an alternative education setting where they can flourish.
- I attended the opening of Casablanca Hammam & Spa, Bedford’s first Moroccan spa.
- I spoke at the launch of Crispy Dosa’s new restaurant, creating 25 local jobs.
- I was delighted to join Ashley Dalton, Minister for Public Health at the opening of Bedford Hospital’s new Community Diagnostic Centre.
- I was pleased to attend East Bedford PCN’s community coffee morning, raising awareness of cancer screening with support from local organisations and GPs.
- I attended Hanover Court’s charity afternoon tea with Cllr Colleen Atkins.
- I met with Bedford Borough Council officers and taxi/private hire representatives to discuss improvements to the licensing system.
Labour Conference
This year’s conference offered a great opportunity for Ministers to reflect on the progress made over the last year, as well as laying out the work they’re doing to continue the project of delivering a decade of national renewal.
Outside of the big speeches, Labour’s conference had hundreds, if not thousands, of discussion panels and other events. I was pleased to take part in one as a panellist, speaking on my experiences and focus as an MP as Labour has moved from opposition to Government. To me, the priorities are the same; being an accessible, hard-working representative for our community all year round. There is no doubt that being in Government comes with its own challenges and opportunities, but for me, both can be handled by remembering who we work for, and what they want to see from their representatives.
These principles were shared by the Prime Minister in his Leader’s Speech. We’ve seen too many people trying to use patriotism and our flags as a means to divide Britain in recent months, so I was very pleased to see the Prime Minister presenting a strong case for a progressive, Labour form of patriotism. This means building Britain up, not talking the country down; building bridges with our neighbours, confident enough in who we are to work with others despite our differences; and focussed on overcoming the challenges we face as a nation, together, in unity.
As well as a clear statement on this Government’s identity, the Prime Minister spoke on his policy priorities. As he and the Chancellor have always said, the keystone to delivering the national renewal, world-class public services, secure housing for all, education that sets our children up for life, and more, is an economy strong enough to support it. The Chancellor’s speech was all about renewal. She reflected on Labour’s first year in government, fixing the foundations, restoring economic stability after years of Conservative mismanagement, and putting public finances back on track. With those foundations more secure, the government is now focused on renew and rebuild.
The Health Secretary took to the Conference stage and pulled no punches standing up against Reform’s plans to sell out our NHS in favour of a more American-style insurance-based system, and setting out Labour’s bold vision to renew our health and care services. From 2027, a new NHS Online service will act as a pioneering “online hospital”, delivering the equivalent of 8.5 million extra appointments in just three years. That means faster treatment, shorter waits, and patients back in control of their care.
He also confirmed the first-ever Fair Pay Agreement for care workers, backed by £500m, ending poverty pay and insecurity in social care. Labour has already delivered 5 million extra appointments, 2,000 new GPs, 700,000 dental slots, and NHS pay rises above inflation. Waiting times are already the lowest in 3 years but we won’t stop until we’ve cut waits from 18 months to 18 weeks and built a National Care Service worthy of the name. Only Labour can be trusted with the NHS.
Investing in our future is always worthwhile. A renewed approach to providing young people with the training and opportunities they need to start good careers will have a huge impact for many. Expanding on previous further education goals, there is now a target of two-thirds of young people going to university or undertaking gold-standard apprenticeships. I look forward to seeing the impact this can have for us here in Bedford and Kempston, where we have a proud history of first-class education across the board.
Each year’s Labour conference has a unique feel, a snapshot of the mood around the country within the party. This year, I was greatly enthused by the level of energy going into growing, learning, and working together towards common goals. As the second year of this Labour Government continues, I look forward to building on our progress so far and delivering the change Britain needs into the future.
In Westminster
I was pleased to be able to take part in a Westminster Hall debate to raise concerns about changes to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund (ASGSF), which provides therapeutic support for vulnerable children. I welcomed the Minister’s confirmation that the fund will continue next year, with applications open for 2026–27.
Regarding Israel’s actions in Qatar, I raised a question to the FCDO Minister, Hamish Falconer. There are real concerns about the implications of Israel’s strike in Qatar for peace and stability in the Middle East, and on UK foreign policy. In light of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s extra-judicial killings, I asked if the Government would go further than condemning the attacks against a sovereign Western ally, and uphold international law, ban all arms to Israel and impose severe sanctions on the Israeli Government.
On World Suicide Prevention Day, I raised the issue of harmful online content and the accountability of tech companies during Science, Innovation & Technology Questions. I welcomed the strengthening of the Online Safety Act, which requires platforms to protect users from illegal and harmful content. But charities like the Molly Rose Foundation (MRF) remain concerned that major platforms may not be fully complying, especially on risk assessments.
Ofcom has requested risk assessments from over 60 services, including smaller but high-risk platforms. I asked the Government what further steps it is taking to ensure Ofcom enforces the law robustly. The Minister confirmed platforms now have a legal duty to act, with fines of up to 10% of global revenue for breaches, and that Ofcom has already launched 12 investigations. But action must match words, and regulators must hold platforms to account.
During Transport Questions, I asked the Secretary of State for Transport, Heidi Alexander for assurances that the transport plans for the proposed Universal Studios resort in Bedford, expected to attract around 8 million visitors each year, will prioritise a public transport system fit for the 21st century. I emphasised the need for a comprehensive, sustainable network from day one: modern electric rail connections to key regional hubs, frequent and affordable electric bus services, and safe, well-designed walking and cycling routes. These measures would ease pressure on local roads, cut emissions, and ensure that residents as well as visitors can travel conveniently and sustainably.
I attended a very well attended debate to discuss the e-petition calling for the ability to “Retain the legal right to assessment and support in education for children with SEND”. After a constituent wrote in to tell me about his experience with neurodiversity, explaining that although he was diagnosed with autism in lower school, it wasn’t until upper school that teachers truly understood his needs and he began to flourish, and so I wanted to reinforce the point that we must improve routine screening for neurodivergent conditions so every child can be identified early, supported properly, and given the best chance to learn and reach their full potential. This autumn, the Government will publish its SEND White Paper of its proposals to fix the system. This is a critical opportunity, and we must ensure it does not dilute hard-won rights.
Labour’s Employment Rights Bill was presented to the House, and I was incredibly pleased to support this core manifesto pledge. This is the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation and the first step in our Plan to Make Work Pay. Meanwhile, the Tories and Reform voted against plans to boost working conditions, including extending sick pay to 1.3 million of the lowest earners.
This landmark Bill which is now in its final parliamentary stages will deliver; day-one rights to protection from unfair dismissal, plus stronger redundancy safeguards; stronger sick pay, extending Statutory Sick Pay to 1.3 million of the lowest earners and removing unfair waiting days; a ban on exploitative zero-hours contracts and “fire & rehire” tactics; fair pay agreements in adult social care and re-establishing a negotiating body for school support staff; day-one paternity and parental leave, new bereavement leave, and stronger protection for pregnant women and new mums; and flexible working from the start of employment and a duty on employers to give real reasons if they refuse.
Labour Governments have a long and proud record of improving pay and conditions for working people, and this landmark bill is another mark of progress for the history books.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to be deeply concerning. It is vital that the peace plan must now be accompanied by the immediate lifting of all restrictions on life-saving humanitarian aid to Gaza. I fully support the UK Government’s critical role in making progress, from recognising the state of Palestine, to calling for the Israeli Government to allow the UN and other agencies to deliver aid safely and securely, using all crossings and routes. The UK remains in close contact with Israeli authorities over the status of vessels seeking to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. I now call on all parties to build the foundations for a just and lasting end to the conflict and a sustainable path to a long-term peace. The UK will support these crucial immediate steps and the next stage of talks to ensure the full implementation of the peace plan. The progress we’re seeing is certainly welcome, but now more than ever, we cannot take our eyes off of Gaza and allow the fragile peace to break.

Giving Children in Bassetlaw the Best Start in Life
Jo White (Bassetlaw)
Sure Start was life-changing for so many people in Bassetlaw, transforming the lives of children by putting in place family support in the earliest years of life. Sure Start, introduced by the last Labour government, helped level the playing field for children from lower income families, with research showing that children who attended a Sure Start centre were much more likely to perform better at school.
The previous Government cut community services, scrapping Sure Start, leaving a gaping hole in family services. When they left government, one in four families with children under five couldn’t access local children’s centres, rising to one in three lower income families. Speaking to local families in Bassetlaw, I hear time and again an ask for more support around SEND, youth services, and early development.
I welcome the news that the Government are building on the proud legacy of Sure Start, and reviving family services by rolling out 1,000 ‘Best Start Family Hubs’ by April 2026, including here in Bassetlaw.
Best Start Family Hubs will be a one stop shop for parents needing support, including on difficulty breastfeeding, housing issues or children’s early development, and other services such as:
- Activities for children aged 0-5
- Domestic abuse support
- Early language support
- Health Visiting
- Infant Feeding Support
- Midwifery/maternity services
- Parenting Support
- SEND support and services
- Youth services

Update on Gaza
Liz Kendall (Leicester West)
On 29th July, the Prime Minister held an emergency cabinet meeting on the situation in Gaza.
I support the statement the Prime Minister made, after the meeting, confirming that the U.K will recognise the state of Palestine at the UN in September, unless the Israeli government takes significant steps.
I condemn the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians seeking to meet their basic needs of food and water in the strongest terms. These actions will not bring the hostages home. The war must stop.
Whilst it’s welcome that more aid has been allowed into Gaza in recent days, it is simply not enough.
The UK has dropped aid via air drops, but this is not enough.
The Israeli government must allow aid to enter Gaza, without restriction. The Israeli government must agree to a ceasefire, not a pause.
The government will continue to work with our allies and with agencies to work towards the goal of long-lasting peace, stability and security that both Palestinians and Israelis deserve.

A good catch-up with Edwin and Andrew from Neighbourhood Watch
Wendy Morton (Aldridge-Brownhills)
It was great to call into Neighbourhood Watch in Pelsall again and catch up with Edwin and Andrew.
We discussed a range of local issues across the Rushall, Shelfield, Pelsall, and Brownhills Neighbourhood Watch area. Our focus was on how we can work together as one community to address these challenges.
It was also fantastic to hear about Project Phoenix – a pilot community-run initiative launched by Walsall Council! This project is dedicated to building a stronger community right across our Borough, and I’m really keen to see the positive impact it will have.
The Third Runway: A Monument to Mediocrity
Kit Malthouse (North West Hampshire)
An abridged version of this article ran in The Times on 3rd February 2025
In 2007, in the pages of this newspaper, I argued that Britain should seize the moment and move Heathrow to the Thames Estuary, freeing up the congested west London site for much-needed housing while creating a world-leading transport hub fit for the 21st century. It was an ambitious plan—perhaps too ambitious for a nation that has lost its appetite for grand infrastructure. Seventeen years later, what do we have? The same tired debates, the same dithering, and now, a third runway proposal that represents the absolute minimum of what could be done. It is not a vision; it is a concession to stagnation.
Throughout history, Britain built infrastructure that transformed cities and continents. The Victorians laid thousands of miles of railways across India and Africa. British engineers built the world’s first underground railway in London, the great docks of Hong Kong, and the vast shipping hubs that made global trade possible. Ours was once a nation that saw scale and complexity as challenges to be overcome, not reasons to prevaricate. Today, while China constructs floating airports in Hong Kong and Dalian, we are still arguing over a few extra miles of tarmac at an aging airport hemmed in by suburban sprawl.
The case for expanding Heathrow is undeniable. The airport operates at near capacity, with any disruption causing delays that ripple across the global aviation network. Additional capacity is needed. But the third runway is not a bold leap forward—it is an unimaginative compromise. The design is a relic of a bygone era when Britain was still willing to approve large infrastructure projects but had already begun its slow descent into cautious incrementalism. Surely for a solution we should be looking beyond the immediate horizon, daring to create something transformative.
Compare this to the grand infrastructure ambitions of Asia. Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok, which replaced the legendary but perilous Kai Tak airport in the 1990s, was built on reclaimed land. It was a marvel of engineering (mostly British), completed in just six years. Now, China is taking the concept even further: Dalian is constructing a floating airport, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. This is a country that doesn’t simply accept geographic limitations—it overcomes them. Britain, meanwhile, is paralysed by protest groups, endless consultations, and political hand-wringing.
A floating airport in the Thames Estuary—an idea proposed and swiftly dismissed—would have been a statement of ambition. London could have had its own Chek Lap Kok, a world-class hub unencumbered by the constraints of Heathrow’s location. Instead, we are left with a piecemeal expansion of an outdated site, in a project that will take decades and still leave Britain trailing behind.
The environmental argument against expansion is often cited as a reason for delay, but it is a red herring. Modern aviation is rapidly advancing towards lower emissions and greater efficiency. If the concern is air pollution and carbon footprints, the answer is not to stifle airport expansion but to embrace new technology, support cleaner aviation fuels, and invest in modern air traffic management. Britain should be leading these efforts, not using environmental concerns as an excuse for stagnation.
The economic cost of our hesitation is immense. Aviation is a key driver of trade, tourism, and investment. Heathrow’s constraints mean we lose out to European rivals, with airlines shifting long-haul routes to Paris, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt. The third runway, even if built, will do little to reclaim lost ground. By the time it is operational—assuming it even survives the judicial challenges that will inevitably come—other nations will have long since surpassed us.
What Britain needs is a fundamental shift in mindset. We must stop viewing major infrastructure projects as necessary evils to be endured and start treating them as national priorities. This requires reforming our planning laws, streamlining approval processes, and fostering a political culture that celebrates engineering excellence rather than recoiling from it.
The third runway at Heathrow is not the answer—it is a symptom of our decline. Instead of an afterthought tacked onto an aging airport, we should be considering radical alternatives: offshore airports, high-speed rail integration to regional hubs, and a renewed commitment to infrastructure that places Britain at the forefront of global connectivity. We were once a nation that built the world’s most advanced transport networks, that pioneered engineering breakthroughs others only dreamed of. We can be that nation again—but only if we stop settling for mediocrity and start daring to think bigger.
The world is not waiting for Britain to catch up. While we squabble over a single new runway, China is building entire new airports on water. The contrast is stark, and the lesson is clear: boldness breeds success, hesitation ensures decline. If Britain truly wishes to remain a global player, we must abandon the timid incrementalism of the third runway and embrace the kind of audacity that once made us great.

Dan Jarvis' Christmas Message
Dan Jarvis (Barnsley North)
Christmas is a very special time. It's when we come together with friends and family to take stock, and give thanks for what we have.
Some years – in the best of times, this is cause for celebration.
Other years – it's more complicated if we're missing loved ones,
affected by illness, or facing money worries, homelessness, or loneliness.
Sometimes – let’s be honest, for many reasons, Christmas can just be about getting through it, and that's ok!
Because regardless of the year that’s been, or the circumstances you find yourself in, Christmas offers everyone a precious gift – hope.
