People often don't know when to contact their MP for help.

Here's what I can help you with and how to get in touch:

@bphillipsonMP today announced exciting teacher recruitment figures.

There are 4,654 more teachers in schools/colleges than in 2024, thats 70% of the Gov target.

The data also shows one of the lowest teacher exit rates on record, and a 13% rise in entrants to teacher training.

Breakfast clubs make a real difference to children and families, if your school runs a great breakfast club, I'd encourage you to apply for the Kellogg’s Breakfast Club Awards 2026 and celebrate the impact you're making.

I’ve received confirmation from the Government that new solar panels have been installed at Sutton Academy through Great British Energy’s solar scheme.

The school will save around £1 million over the lifetime of the panels, money that can go back into the school's facilities.

Today we've renationalised the UK's largest train operator.

Passengers will see fewer last-minute cancellations, cleaner toilets and more services to Gatwick Airport.

We are building Great British Railways. 🇬🇧🚆

100 days to go until the biggest change to our region’s buses in over 40 years. 🚌

On 6 September, services in St Helens will come back under public control.

The countdown is on! 📅

Dismissal leads to hatred, hatred leads to violence, and violence leads to death. We cannot stand idly by while that happens.

I have joined Afzal Khan MP and Parliamentary colleagues in writing to the Equality and Human Rights Commission to call for a formal investigation into Islamophobia within Reform UK.

[1/5]

[Marie Rimmer MP @MarieRimmer]

When we dismiss hatred by denying or minimising it, whether that be Islamophobia, antisemitism, homophobia or other forms of prejudice, we risk allowing it to grow at a time when mosques, synagogues and LGBTQ+ safe spaces are being regularly targeted for attack.

[Marie Rimmer MP @MarieRimmer]

Earlier this year, I wrote to Government on behalf of local pubs on business rates. Pubs have been under pressure in recent years, and they must recieve support from Westminister.

The response I recieved from the Treasury confirms the rollout of a support package.

[1/3]

[Marie Rimmer MP @MarieRimmer]

Measures include:
• A support package of £4.3 billion to protect ratepayers against large overnight bill hikes.
• Cap on bill increases at 15% or less in 26/27 for most properties.
• A 1 year 15% relief for all pubs and live music venues in 26/27.

There is still much more to do, but I welcome these steps to improve care, cut waiting times and ensure women are listened to and treated with the seriousness they deserve.

[Marie Rimmer MP @MarieRimmer]

Recently, I wrote to the Government on behalf of constituents living with endometriosis. Too many women face long delays to diagnosis, have their pain dismissed, and struggle to access the care they need.

[1/4]

[Marie Rimmer MP @MarieRimmer]

Measures include:

• Faster diagnosis and new care pathways for endometriosis

• New guidance to improve referrals/treatment through the NHS and GPs

• Additional investment in menstrual health education

• Approval of new treatment options for severe endometriosis
