✉️ Letters have been going through doors this week with the new higher fares North Northamptonshire Council are charging for school transport. It's £170 out of parents pockets when the focus must be on supporting families through this difficult time.

I’m with him all the way and it’s absolutely crucial the NEC do the right thing. After the shit show this week we need all of our best players in parliament to deliver radical policies that create the change people want ✊

It has been really good to meet Young Lives vs Cancer again. They provide face-to-face help, advice and financial support for young people and their families. It’s important that we fight so that their voices are heard. You can find more at https://vist.ly/539bn @YLvsCancer

On Friday (1st) it was May Day, a day to recognise the achievements of working people, and International Workers' Day. Since 1978, this and other bank holidays have marked the value of workers’ time. Hope everyone has a great bank holiday Monday - workers' playtime.

🏡 One of the most upsetting emails I get regularly is from families who have been served a section 21 notice. Kicked out of their home with no reason, and no fault of their own. ✊From today, the Renters' Rights Act finally bans 'No-Fault' evictions. #RentersRightsAct

Safety at work is not a privilege, it is a right. ✊It was an honour to speak at Corby's Workers Memorial Day. This year was particularly raw, with what happened at the Corby steelworks on the 13th January. We must remember those we have lost, and fight for the living.

The hours you work should be reflected in your contract. That’s fair, that should be your right, that’s what we are demanding ✊

💪 Great to be out this weekend in the constituency speaking about the new rights we're delivering for workers. More secure work, stronger rights for parents, better pay for a days work. @labourunionsuk

Starting a new job? From today (6th April) onwards, you get more day one rights 👇 👩‍🍼 Paternity and parental leave from day one 🤕 Statutory Sick Pay from first day off sick 🚨 Stronger protections for those exposing sexual harassment 🖤 Expanded 52 weeks bereavement leave

📲 CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER MOBILE COVERAGE I've been listening to your experiences with their mobile signal. This week I was able to report back to @VodafoneUK. Continue to share your experience with me at: https://shorturl.at/MZFwb

Are you on minimum wage? Or know someone who is? 💷 From today (April 1st), millions are getting a pay rise ⬆️ 💰 £12.71 (21+) | £10.85 (18–20) | £8 (U18/apprentices) 📊 Up to £1,500 extra a year for young workers, £900 for full-time Closing the gap on unfair age bands ✊

Comments made about SEND by Reform need to be called out for what they are – disrespectful, heartless and uninformed. Reform-led NNC need to distance themselves from those comments and ensure new government funding is directed swiftly to help children. https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/wellingborough-kettering-and-corby-mps-quiz-council-leader-on-send-funding-6529239?fbclid=IwY2xjawQ4id9leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETF3b3VkeTRYaVRwSUpNQVZxc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHsEd0W0JbCxR-3vWq2Hx72momo728dJrTBfzmGpRXxNTUXCyIw0O8Yq3d8cv_aem_E3YSgh29eId4jQZWoqo0lA

I'll be at the Together March tomorrow alongside teachers, firefighters, care workers, cleaners, midwives, engineers and people like @paulwellerHQ @billybragg @fontainesdublin @Palomafaith @LennyHenry and more to send a positive message against hate. #Together

New Steel Strategy aims for 50% of steel used in Britain to be made here. Backing jobs, boosting production, and protecting UK industry. I raised Corby’s steel heritage in Brussels. British steel isn’t the problem. We must secures our future in defence, energy & infrastructure.

I joined Royal Mail in 1986 and gave 28 years of service before entering Parliament. I’ve raised concerns about declining service. A two-tier workforce and overtime ban have driven a crisis. I’ll keep fighting for better postal services in Corby and East Northants.

It was fantastic to speak to firefighters from the Fire Brigades Union bringing their Cuts Kill campaign to Parliament. After 14 years of Conservative government, 1 in 5 firefighter jobs have gone. When others run out of burning buildings, they run in. Stop cuts. Save lives.

Royal Mail is failing communities and postal workers. Time it started to listen to its workforce, sit down with @CWUnews and sorted this mess out!!

This government’s manifesto committed to phasing out animal testing. Proud to support Animal Free Research UK and their campaign to end animal experimentation. I support Animal Free Research UK's Herbie’s Law, and I met with them earlier this year to discuss their work.

❗Over 200 residents have told me about their mobile signal in just 2 days. ✍️Help me fight for better coverage in East Northamptonshire by telling me your experience NOW: https://survey.labour.org.uk/leebarronmpmobilesignalsurvey
