THE LEASEHOLD AND FREEHOLD REFORM BILL BE CONSIDERED TOMORROW!!!! Let’s get this done for the 5 million households that need it!!

Glad to hear this. This legislation really must pass before we dissolve- millions of leaseholders are counting on it!

🚨 Leasehold bill lives on. Will return tomorrow. Understand currently no ground rent cap included in the bill. Will Labour push for £250 ground cap to be revived? Would require agreement from Labour and the Government to get it through

Both Neil and myself have had multiple conversations with ministers from Dept of Housing and Treasury. It should not be allowed to lapse.

Hot footed back from Parliament to join my hard working team on the doorsteps for a good session.

Now the starting gun has been fired we are always happy to welcome people who want to help us spread our message of a clear plan for our area, building on my strong record!

Heading back to Redditch and the Villages - a place I'm proud to call home.

Lots done, more to do!

A brilliant lady! You've inspired me since the day we first met picking up litter to keep the streets clean. Thank you for everything you have done for our community - I know you're only just getting started

✍ I've written to the Chief Executive of Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust as I continue the fight to return a maternity and children's service to the Alexandra Hospital 🏥

After 2.5 years campaigning to get Spiking recognised in law, the Criminal Justice Bill does so - modernising language, the nature of crimes today & ability of the police to capture Spiking data. This sends a clear message to victims, potential perpetrators, nightlife & police.

Devolution often means getting blamed for things other people have done.

My friend Rachel Maclean MP gives some amusing insights into what happens when central govt gives its powers away…and explains why despite its many flaws, she’s still a believer in devo.

In the aftermath of the West Midlands Mayor election, I wrote about Andy Street and Metro Mayors. I was co chair of his 2017 campaign, and it is time to reflect on this policy and its future rachelmacleanmp.substack.com/p/are-metro-ma…

I've worked with the police locally and those bereaved by knife crime. It is heartrending to hear their stories. People always call for more to be done to prevent crime. That is exactly what this work is. Good to see it highlighted to build confidence in public safety

🛍️ Unicorn Baby is the latest store to open in the Kingfisher Shopping Centre.

I recently popped in and spoke to the owner of the new shop, Veysi Bayar, who told me how crucial the Government's business rates relief was to him opening his store.

Love that. But I can't claim the credit. Someone else inspired me, I sadly can't remember who it was - although it did always get a laugh and a wry smile of recognition so I talked about it a lot.

Does anyone know who first coined it?
