Westminster News

It is quite clear that our PM sees a strong future in our new 'Heartlands' in the North. We are now looking at moving our Campaign Headquarters up into the Midlands or North. This can only be good for our area.

This week I met with the F.A in Westminster to chat about grass roots football locally. There is a lot going off locally with football.

Constructive talks today with the Fire Brigade Union and my Conservative Colleague Brendan Clarke-Smith the MP for Bassetlaw. We will be working with our Fire Service throughout this Parliament to make sure their voices are heard locally.

Great News From the Queen's Speech.

1. Tougher laws on Travellers to include posessing their caravans if they set up an illegal camp.

2. Free Voter I.D to be introduced.

3. No parole to murders who refuse to disclose where the body is.

This is where you sent me.

Over the next five years I will be fighting to make our area a better place to live and work.

Looking forward to talking about our brilliant area in this fantastic chamber.

A long day. 8am start and just finished. Rousing speech and reception from Boris as he met all his new MP's. He gave a special mention to the pit villages and northern towns who backed us. They will not be forgotten. I wished Ashfield could have been here to hear him. More to come.
