Joint statement with @catkinson80 on the incident in Friar Gate. Our thoughts are with all affected.

It’s fantastic to have snooker back in Derby. What a pleasure to welcome snooker greats like @jimmywhite147 and @dennistaylor147 back to our city.

Valliant Live is a brilliant venue for snooker, a big thanks to Legends for bringing @WorldSeniors to Derby.

Thanks to all who joined @LBGplc & @the_MTC_org for our Ada Lovelace Day celebration at Westminster.
It was a fantastic event with MPs and leaders from business and education, focused on supporting more women and girls to get into careers in STEM and manufacturing. @enginuityorg @MakeUK_

For 16 yrs, I've fought against the #Sinfin Incinerator, shoulder to shoulder to residents. I said I'd take our fight to Parliament. That's what I'm doing.

I asked the Leader of the House of Commons for a debate on Incinerators and will keep working on this crucial issue.

2024 was certainly a year to remember! Being elected to represent my home city remains an honour I am grateful for every single day.

I’m proud of the positive changes we’ve already made and looking forward to an even brighter future in 2025.

[John Healey @JohnHealey_MP]

This Christmas, I pay special tribute to those 10,000 British personnel who are deployed overseas.

They will sacrifice what most of us take for granted, that precious time with our families, to ensure our nation is safe.

It’s our last show before Christmas - we’ve a festive hamper of East Midlands goodies, but what do the firms who make them want from government? Plus ⁦@petesaull⁩ looks at the political year ahead. With guests ⁦@BaggyShanker⁩ & ⁦@craig_smithUK⁩ . BBC1,10am.

[Baggy Shanker MP @BaggyShanker]

High streets are the heart of our communities & we must not let them fade away. The @UKLabour Govt's 'Community Right to Buy' empowers us to shape their future.

Today, I asked the govt what support is being given to local businesses so we can bring our vision to life in Derby:

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

What will @Keir_Starmer’s Plan for Change mean for you?

[Baggy Shanker MP @BaggyShanker]

Brilliant to join @RNID, @SignHealth, @BDA_Deaf and @NDCSUK and Disability Minister @stephenctimms this morning and hear from their expert insight on how public services can better support people who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus.

[Baggy Shanker MP @BaggyShanker]

Our small businesses make a big impact on our city.

They grow our economy and they strengthen our community.

It was great to celebrate Derby’s small businesses today on #SmallBusinessSaturday and I’m committed to supporting them all year round too.
