🚜I’ve had a fantastic start to the Great Yorkshire Show this morning on North Yorkshire Council’s policy discussion panel. 🗣️It’s given me the opportunity to listen to business and charity leaders from across the county about what policy should look like going forward.

I’ll never forget when my sister collapsed and was rushed to hospital while we were on holiday as kids. I called for a national type 1 diabetes screening programme as part of the NHS 10 Year Plan. We have all the components for a national screening plan ready to go. Watch👇

Today marks one year since I was elected as your MP for Harrogate & Knaresborough. It’s been a real privilege, and I’ve done my best every day to live up to the trust that you placed in me. There’s still so much more to do, and I’ll keep working hard every day to represent you.

I will continue to campaign for better access to high-quality hospice care, and greater choice and dignity for all. Everyone deserves compassion, care, and choice at the end of life. 4/4.

It’s a landmark moment and a meaningful step forward for many. I had hoped to see a shorter implementation period and made clear my concerns about the proposed four-year timeline. I now hope this does not become a political football in the run-up to the next election. 3/4.

From the outset, I have tried to be a voice for those whose experiences are too often overlooked, particularly people living with neurodegenerative conditions like MND. My focus throughout has been to help shape a bill that reflects dignity, compassion, and genuine choice. 2/4.

Today I voted for the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. As a new MP, being part of this process has been incredibly emotional and at times overwhelming. It was a privilege to sit on the Bill Committee and hear the powerful evidence that shaped this legislation. 1/4.

Even Labour’s York & N. Yorks Mayor said the spending review ‘fell well short’ - missing a chance to back rural areas. The govt must begin backing rural & northern communities - starting by dualling & electrifying the Leeds–York line via Harrogate.

🙌Great to meet @MovemberUK during Men’s Health Week!. 💬We discussed the importance of men’s mental health. 🤝I’m looking forward to working together to bring a men’s health bench to our towns – a space to help start those vital conversations in the community.

🏡Today, I welcomed the expansion of the Warm Home Discount – a step towards tackling fuel poverty and cutting bills. ❌But I raised concerns about rural and off-grid areas being left behind. ⚡Everyone deserves access to affordable, secure energy – no matter where they live.

I met local foodbank volunteers in Parliament to hear about rising poverty & growing emergency food demand among working families. Foodbanks shouldn’t have to fill the gaps left by government policy. We need long-term solutions, starting with proper investment in skills & jobs.

🚌Great to have cross-party support for my campaign to scrap peak-time bus pass restrictions for disabled people. ❌This outdated rule holds people back - it’s time the government removed it. ✅I’ll keep the pressure on until fair, accessible transport is a reality for all.

⚠️ Cancer care shouldn’t depend on your postcode or bank balance. 🗣 In Parliament, I raised the alarm about unequal access to the prostate cancer drug abiraterone. ✍If you’re struggling to access vital treatment, I want to hear from you ahead of my meeting with the Minister.
