Pleasure to meet @LisaSmartMP in Parliament today to talk about the cost to both people’s health and wellbeing and to the wider economy of the failure to invest in NHS dentistry.
Thank you for speaking up for those who can’t access the care they desperately need. @TheBDA

Fish and chips are out, roasted chickpeas are in...
Lots for our political panel to get their teeth into (sorry) on this month's episode of the Granada Debate - including the Prime Minister's plan to overhaul school dinners.
With @A_J_Snowden, @OliverRyanUK and @LisaSmartMP:

"PR puts the power in the hands of voters rather than in the hands of politicians."
Such an important point by @FairElectionsUK Vice Chair @LisaSmartMP at @UKandEU Lunch Hour.
Under FPTP, big decisions are made within the large parties. Under PR, voters have real choice.

"Evidence shows that PR leads to higher turnout, more representative governments and more stable policymaking."
Yesterday in Parliament, several MPs raised the urgent need to fix our voting system.
Thank you @DrScottArthurMP @OllyGloverLD @LisaSmartMP for your contributions! 👏

I met with Minister Georgia Gould, who was in Manchester on Friday to listen to the issues around SEND provision as part of her national fact finding work. Clearly there needs to be a reset around SEND provision to improve it across the country.

It was lovely to get such a supportive letter from the Canal and River Trust over Christmas for the work that I've been doing this year. Whether it's Marple Locks, or the impact of droughts on local canals, this is a critical for our heritage and our future.
ALT We greatly appreciate your emphasis on the cultural and environmental significance of our waterways, as well as their contribution to wellbeing and climate resilience … We are particularly grateful for your recognition of the Trust’s lesser -known role in water management and the difficult decisions we face during drought periods.

I tried to get the Minister to commit to an answer on caps on donations to political parties or restoring the independence of the Electoral Commission. I'm not convinced I got a clear answer. What do you think?

I raised again the issue of mothers fleeing domestic abuse, being forced to return to the country, and even homes, where they suffered that abuse because of flaws in the Hague Convention. I am glad to see the Government listening, and starting the work needed to change this.

Stockport is worse off under the Labour Government's funding settlement, despite containing the most deprived part of GM. We appear to have missed out on the recovery grant by 0.01%. I want the Gov't to ensure the most vulnerable people won't be affected by their decision.

It was lovely to attend the carol service at Lisburne School earlier this week, with my councillor colleagues Dan and Wendy. It's cracking to be able to support so much that is going on locally at Christmas. #MerryChristmas #HoHoHo

One of the problems with the Government's approach to development is that constituents are asked to look at the Labour Government's Local Plan for Stockport and comment on all the housebuilding that it contains, and no infrastructure. I asked the Minister to reverse that.

Misinformation is circulating online and in the real world about planning applications. No such application has been made, and it is concerning that people are going to these lengths to create division.

I had a lovely time with Smartie at the House of Commons this week. She was the therapy dog who came in with the brilliant Spread A Smile team for their drop in this week. Anyone who has ever seen me with my lovely rescue dog Bonnie knows this would be the highlight of my week.
