Tackling child poverty is a priority for this Government. I proudly stood on a manifesto that pledged to continue efforts through the tax and benefits system to reduce poverty, including child poverty.
I share the concern about the violence we have witnessed in recent weeks in Israel. My thoughts are with all those affected, especially the families of those civilians killed.
The renewables sector is fast becoming a crucial resource in the development of Grimsby and the Humber Bank. For the last few years, we have seen the estuary's wind farms spring up at a rapid pace.
I am working hard to encourage private investors to consider Grimsby as a viable possibility for putting their capital into local infrastructure. Funds put into the right projects, in the right places, can bring great prosperity to a town such as ours.
As a Government Further Education Ambassador and National Chair of the Apprenticeship Diversity Champions Network, my role is to encourage people to have the confidence and ambition to get the best training and education key can.
Grimsby's fishing history is built into the very fabric of the town, from its rich trawler heritage, the once vibrant dock areas and arguably the best fish and chips in the country.
The people behind our local businesses, charities and community groups are the local influencers who make real change in our town. My role is to support organisations to help benefit local people.
Are you a local company that would be prepared to help kids in our area not fall behind if schools are in lockdown, or if students have been quarantined for a period of time? If so, could you please consider looking to donate a laptop computer to one of our local schools.
