Today I had the pleasure of presenting at the BBC Radio Derby Make a Difference Awards.

I would like to extend a huge congratulations to all those who have been nominated.

This morning I have been chatting to some of my constituents at my surgery.

Great to hear ways I can help with some of the issues that they have raised and to listen to their concerns.

Such a pleasure to have 4 police officers from Derby visit me in parliament today for a tour before they attend the Police Bravery Awards.

The officers are up for a bravery award for saving a lady from drowning in the river Derwent.

As part of Small Business Saturday, I visited local shop Floral Creations to see how they had dealt with the effects of Coronavirus.

They are a brilliant shop with gifts that are not available anywhere else in Derby. A true hidden gem in our community.

On Small Business Saturday I was out and about in the constituency to see how businesses have been recovering from the pandemic.

The UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson has announced the nation in a live press conference following confirmed cases of the Omicron COVID variant here in the UK.

This investment will deliver direct services from Birmingham to Derby, as well as slash travel times from Derby to London.

A lovely service and 2 minute silence this morning for Remembrance Sunday to reflect on all those who have lost lives and gave such sacrifices for our country.

It was an honour to stand alongside the parade and see Derby City unite together for this incredibly important day.

On Saturday, I visited the absolutely amazing Derby Extreme Cheerleading Academy to meet with Christina, Niamh and all the incredible young girls who make up their recreational and professional teams.

This afternoon, I received my flu jab at Vision Pharmacy on Nottingham Road in Chaddesden.
