Knocking on doors and speaking to local people is one of the most important parts of my role, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy doing whenever I get the chance.
The cost of living and immigration are two issues that regularly come up on the doorstep. People want to see real action on these issues, and they are both areas where this government is determined to deliver on.
Bassetlaw Hospital’s expanded Same Day Emergency Care service is now ready for winter! This is a welcome and reassuring announcement.
The service means more patients can be checked, treated and sent home on the same day, when it is safe to do so, supporting the hospital to care for more people during the busy winter months.
The Government is investing almost £140 million in 14 new urgent care projects across England. A further 25 urgent care services, including the expanded service at Bassetlaw Hospital, will be ready to help patients this winter.
There will also be more help from local pharmacies, more GP appointments in the evenings and at weekends, and more support for people to get their flu jab.

🛑 VETERANS DESERVE RESPECT, NOT REPEATED INVESTIGATIONS. 🇬🇧
Labour’s new legal safeguards will give veterans the fairness and protection they deserve.
For too long, former Armed Forces personnel and police officers who served honourably during the Northern Ireland Troubles have faced uncertainty and repeated investigations. It is an issue I have raised at the highest levels of Government.
The Labour Government has now tabled major changes to the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill to provide stronger legal protections for veterans, recognise the unique challenges they faced and help prevent repeated investigations without good reason.
⚖️ These measures aim to strike the right balance: allowing families to seek answers while ensuring those who served our country are treated with fairness, dignity and respect.
🇬🇧 More than 300,000 members of our Armed Forces served during Operation Banner. They and their families deserve recognition, respect and proper protection under the law.
Flood Action Week (12-18 October) is an important reminder for people across Bassetlaw to be prepared for the risk of flooding.
Flooding in Worksop, Retford and nearby communities has had a devastating impact on residents in recent years, causing damage to homes, businesses and local roads. With winter approaching and periods of heavy rainfall becoming more common, now is the time to check your flood risk and make sure you have a plan in place.
