Welcome
YOUR MILTON KEYNES CENTRAL MP
My Activity
Wishing you lots of love and light 🌟
This week in Parliament, I spent time in Palace Yard to lay the stake for Milton Keynes Central and think of all the brave individuals from our city who we have lost and all those who continue to fight for our freedoms.
Our Armed Forces and their families serve our country day in and day out, their bravery and determination helps to keep us safe. Thank you for everything you do, we are forever grateful and our city will always support you.
We will remember them.
MK sets a pretty good example when it comes to youth engagement in our local communities and politics from our fantastic youth council to work experience programmes hosted by myself and fellow Milton Keynes MPs
Young people deserve to have a voice in our local communities and be part of the change that they want to see
We should all be doing our best to empower young people, they’re the future of this city!

But my journey with White Ribbon didn’t start on Tuesday, in fact it started quite a while ago! 🌟

It was great to see so many local businesses such as the fantastic DOTS Chiropractic’s and Revive Personal Training in attendance – our local businesses are both run by fantastic women and know how to support women locally! ❤️
There was also fantastic tech from Prysm IO that helps to understand how the body and skin ages!
Women’s wellbeing and health is something that often faces stigma, long waiting lists and gaslighting, so seeing women in our local community come together like this was so fantastic and a truly lovely way to spend a Sunday
Here’s to a better future for the health of women! 🌟

From Milton Keynes to Westminster Hall, we’re making the UK a safer place for women and girls

It was great to take part in their social action project alongside Food Bank Aid (In Milton Keynes, we know how important it is to have a fantastic charity that supports the fight against food poverty).
I love seeing community spirit and action and Mitzvah Day really embodies this! Community and connection is what guides us in Milton Keynes so it was lovely to take part in this in Parliament
Are you doing anything for Mitzvah Day?

We visited Bletchley Park, a fantastic example of our rich local heritage and where our innovative spirit comes from! We then took a trip to MK Galley which is currently hosting the Lowry Exhibition (people have been queuing to see it!!) as well as a wonderful cafe and of course a very Milton Keynes orientated gift shop where you can buy the posters that are supporting our bid #lovelocal
Add in a stop to some of our fantastic local food businesses and you have the perfect MK day out that balances art and innovation (we’re very good at that)
To think, this is just a tiny slice of what Milton Keynes offers when it comes to culture and creativity in our city – we have so much more to show off and that’s why we need to campaign hard for this title

The Vagrancy Act had previously punished people for rough sleeping, making it harder for them to rebuild their lives and seek the support they need. We must ensure that support works for everyone and people have the resources to recover and live to their fullest
This Labour Government is taking rough sleeping seriously and I commend the Prime Ministers commitment to ensure everyone has a roof over their head by Christmas
We must get to a place where we are able to end rough sleeping once and for all.
It was great to show DCMS Minister Steph Peacock around some of my favourite spots in MK: @bletchleyparkuk and @mk_gallery 🤖🎨
I mean I think it’s pretty clear which city should be getting this title 👀

Here’s my take on the matter 🏡
#miltonkeynes #lovemk #roughsleeping
We’re a city full of innovators and it is great to see this being celebrated – I certainly had a fantastic week attending so many different events
It is also so exciting to hear about Deliveroo partnering with Coco to add some more fun delivery robots to the city, at this point our delivery robots have become a city-wide mascot 🤖
What kind of tech do you want to see in Milton Keynes?
#Miltonkeynes #tech #lovemk
I have had countless emails from residents about delays to their post meaning that important documents are delayed. No one should have to worry about their post not reaching them especially when it contains medical documents and bills.
Only a short while ago I signed a letter along with other MPs calling on Ofcom to do more to ensure that Royal Mail takes responsibility for their failings and I’ve been in discussions with the CWU.
Residents in Milton Keynes deserve postal services that actually deliver 📩
As always, if you’re still experiencing problems do get in contact with me and my team!

Did you know there is a dog population of nearly 22,000 in Milton Keynes? That means that per 1,000 residents there are 155 dogs
Responsible dog ownership is so important, having a dog is a big responsibility and they deserve plenty of love and affection. It is so important when looking for a dog to go somewhere regulated and safe that has the wellbeing of dogs at its core (did you know the Labour Government have banned puppy farming?).
In MK we also have plenty of green space for dogs to use whether that is a walk around Willen Lake or a run at Caldecotte Lake – we’re a fab city for dog owners 🌳

I spoke to MKFM about the importance of Leah’s Law and the need to improve the safety of women and girls in Milton Keynes and across the UK.
Leah’s parents, Claire and John, have shown such formidable bravery in the face of such tragedy, their campaigning on better safety for women and girls is so powerful. I was really glad to have been able to meet with them and discuss working on this vital matter to secure justice for Leah, and women and girls across the UK.
No woman or girl should ever feel unsafe to walk around our city no matter the time of day. Safety is not conditional.
Please do sign the Leah’s Law petition!

As Kimberley would say “you’re a loser if you don’t like Milton Keynes” (The coolest people love MK)
Also Hide and Seek Cafe truly never disappoints from vibes to cakes – just have a look at some of their bakes and also the super cool merch they have. I love our local businesses here in MK and Hide and Seek is such a great spot to come for some studying, working or a catch up with a friend. It even turns into a bar in the evening!

Milton Keynes has made the shortlist for the UK City of Culture 2029, a huge achievement for our fantastic city
Over the last few months, we have seen so many fantastic events from Reggae Land to Midsummer Festival talking about our bid to be the UK City of Culture and getting residents involved in shaping what this would look like.
A huge thank you to everyone who has been involved each step of the way and made this shortlisting a reality – here’s to securing that title for Milton Keynes! 👑
