On Wednesday I was with the V11 footballers in Parliament.
I back them because they are working class lads who unexpectedly achieved something great in their lives. They were our football heros, but along with the fame and fortune came the vultures who circled and took what wasn't theirs to take.
These V11 men did something not everyone does. They listened to the government and followed the governments advice. They did the right thing, they invested in Britain and British industry and they saved for their and their families future.
The vultures were at work. This group have lost 10s of millions through mis-sold products. This has been a huge blight. Devastating, soul destroying and life changing.
But then the government through HMRC went in and demanded tax on investment proceeds that never existed. And this has had a far more insidious impact.
It is too late to save those who have taken their lives due to this and my fight is focused on saving others from taking the same route out.
I am calling on the government, on everyone in Parliament, our Prime Minister and our Chancellor to support the V11 and help bring an end to their trauma and give them a victory over the system.
I am also backing their campaign for financial education for all young footballers so that they never have to deal with what the V11 have been through.

Today, I have written to local taxi firms in Bassetlaw regarding recent public comments by a local Reform UK councillor.
The suggestion that our hardworking local taxi drivers are a risk to the public is a disgrace. I know that local taxi firms carefully consider who they employ and they would never allow someone to work for them who presents a risk to the public.
I am very concerned about the impact of these comments on local business and the livelihoods of our taxi drivers. I am also concerned about their safety.
I am calling for a full formal apology to all local taxi firms and their drivers.
Recently, I attended Prostate Cancer UK and Paddy Power’s ‘Westminster Darts Championship’ 🎯, featuring special guests Luke Littler and Luke Humphries ⭐, in support of raising awareness of prostate cancer 💙.
Prostate cancer currently affects 1 in 8 men in the UK. Prostate Cancer UK do amazing work supporting men navigating that journey 🤝, encouraging those at risk to get tested 🧪, and funding vital research 🔬.

My thoughts are with the friends, family and colleagues of Phil Tetley, who tragically lost his life in a road traffic collision on the Straight Mile outside Ranby Prison.
I often travel on this stretch of road when going between Retford and Worksop, and I have seen the difficulties staff at Ranby Prison have crossing this busy road, with vehicles often travelling at upwards of 50mph.
I support this petition for a pedestrian crossing and I will be writing to the County Council to ask that action is taken sooner rather than later.
