Frank Field, has sadly passed away today. Frank gave 40 years of selfless service to Birkenhead as its MP.

His campaigns against poverty and his support for the people of our town are a priceless legacy.

My sincere condolences go to Frank's friends, family and colleagues.

I have added my name to The Times and The Sunday Times campaign calling on the Government to pay compensation to all those infected & affected by the contaminated blood scandal without delay

With 2 victims dying each week there can be no justification for further delay

I had an eye-opening conversation with Mark Bartley and the team at Townfield Pharmacy today.

With government funding falling short, pharmacies are in tough spot and dispensing life-saving medicine often means operating at a loss. #PharmacyCrisis

Very pleased to meet our local MP today Mick Whitley MP to discuss issues with the current pharmacy funding model. Some good ideas going forward that we hope will be escalated AIMp Imaan Healthcare

Last week I visited the Holistic Cancer Centre on Ashburton Road to learn about the holistic approach that they take to support people with cancer and how they put patients in the driving seat.

The centre needs more volunteer practitioners. Learn more: zurl.co/4nIb

After the attack on aid workers, Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office must publish the legal advice it's received on Israel's compliance with international law.

Arms exports must be banned and those responsible held to account. We must not be complicit in war crimes and a failure to protect UK citizens.

Nobody should be criminalised because they don't have a roof over their head.

Rough sleeping is not a lifestyle choice.

The UN Security Council ceasefire resolution is incredibly welcome.

Our Government must ensure it is enforced.

If the Israeli Government ignores the UN’s highest body, our Government must impose further sanctions until Israel respects this ceasefire vote and international law.

For years, I've been supporting efforts to deliver a new market that meets the needs of Birkenhead, its people, and local traders.

The council officers' latest proposals would be an absolute disaster. It's time to pull back and have a major rethink.
