My dad is poorly at the moment so I have been shuffling between Stourbridge, Westminster and hospital.

I would like to thank the brilliant staff who are looking after him. He’s sat up reading newspapers now – always a good sign - but it’s a worry for the family especially my mum.

I led a parliamentary debate on ultra-processed food and spoke about how the industry needs to stop promoting it otherwise the government will have to step in.

It was an absolute pleasure to host Dave and Susan in Parliament. They are both constituents in Stourbridge and came down to visit me and look around the estate.

I joined an RSPCA inspector on calls in the constituency to see first-hand the work the charity undertakes to protect animals.

I met with inspector Adam Bailey from RSPCA’s 18-strong West Midlands team on Friday to shadow him as he made two visits.

I visited Stourbridge’s Job Centre and met with Harj Cheema and James Attwood, both senior operations managers for Dudley Borough and other staff at the centre.

As always it was lovely to attend the Guide Dogs event in Parliament.

I have written to 20 local primary schools asking them to consider applying for a Tesco community grant to fund projects at their school using the retailer’s blue token scheme.

I visited Lye with the Housing and planning Minister, Rachel Maclean and Councillor Dave Borley to discuss how to regenerate the area.

We met at Halesowen Family Centre to talk about the Lye & Stour Valley Design Code that ensures the characteristics of the area are preserved.

I attended a Women’s Health Event held at the Ghausia Community Centre in Lye.

Myself and the brilliant Amblecote Councillors held a pop-up surgery at Sainsbury’s on Turners Lane to talk to constituents about local issues.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to have a chat with us and discuss any local casework issues.
