Latest Covid figures for Sheffield

Covid cases across Sheffield do still remain high at 451 cases per 100,000 as of yesterday (29 July). But it’s pleasing that this is down by 21.5% on last week figures. I firmly believe that our way out of this pandemic is to protect as many people as possible and…

Wembley Safety during the Euro 2020 Final

The England team showed great courage and passion during the final, and they should be highly commended for the way they acted. Unfortunately I, like millions of people across the country, watched the events unfold on TV and was deeply saddened by how the event was organised. It is clear…

Overseas Aid Budget Cut

I feel very strongly the UK Government decision to reduce the UK’s aid target was a profound mistake and a clear step backwards for our country. I voted with my Labour colleagues against the motion on the 13/07/2021 and was greatly disappointed to see the Bill pass. This is a…

Mandatory vaccines for Care Home workers
