I’VE put fairness at the heart of everything I’ve done as your MP this November.

It was an exciting month for me personally as I was appointed to serve as the Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities.

In this role I will hold the Government to account, ensuring that it builds a more equal society for people in Warrington and beyond.

In the week after my appointment I had the privilege of speaking at the Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service ‘Proud to Provide’ Conference.

Since being elected I have seen the amazing work that Cheshire Fire do not only in keeping our community safe, but in ensuring that all their employees can bring their whole selves to work- something they have been recognised by Stonewall for as being one of the country’s leading LGBT+ friendly employers.

I was also over the moon with announcement earlier this month that the first ever Physical Disability Rugby League (PRDL) World Cup will be played in Warrington next year.

It is a sign of our town’s commitment to fairness and equality that Physical Disability Rugby League was game founded here.

I was very pleased that the Government announced £12 million in additional loans for rugby league.

I have been constantly in the ear of the sports minister about this and I am pleased that he has listened.

If there is need for more money in 2021, not least to support the World Cup, I will be making the case to ministers again.

After all, they have found £135 million for rugby union!

Fighting for a fair deal for our local economy has been one of my top priorities this month.

In a speech to the House of Commons last week I stood up for the energy industries in our town, which have been badly let down in recent years.

We were promised an energy white paper in the summer of 2019 but we are still waiting – the 4,500 nuclear workers in Warrington North deserve far better.

I will also fight for the necessary financial support to deal with any future Covid-19 restrictions.

People in Warrington will not forget that when we were put into Tier 2 and then Tier 3 restrictions, our workers were being told they only deserved 67 per cent of their wages but when this affected London, it is rightly being increased to 80 per cent.

All we ask is to be treated fairly and I will always fight for that as your MP.

November has been another tough month for many of us but as we look ahead to Christmas I can assure that I will do everything I can to get a fair deal for our town in these difficult times.
