Sir David Amess MP

Conor condemns the Conservatives’ cruel Universal Credit cut

Prices, bills and taxes are rising under this Conservative Government. But they are choosing to cut over £1,000 a year from families and households across Britain. And it’s low-paid working families in places like St Helens North who will be hardest hit. My full comments in the St Helens Star: …

Conor welcomes new support for local start ups

It was a pleasure to attend the launch of the new Business and Intellectual Property Centre at St Helens Library last week. It’s fantastic that our libraries will now deliver these top-class services which offer professional support and advice to help local start ups flourish.

End fire and re-hire

Firing and re-hiring employees on worse conditions and pay is a disgraceful practice – one that devastates workers in the North West and across our country. The Conservatives have stood by for years and done nothing to stop this. Labour’s clear, we’ll finally outlaw it.

Conor speaks out against short-sighted Tory plans to axe BTECs

The Tories’ short-sighted plan to axe level 3 BTECs will damage young people’s prospects in areas like St Helens North, where BTECs remain key routes into work. And, yet again, it’s pupils from the most disadvantaged backgrounds who’ll suffer most. Ministers must #ProtectStudentChoice.

Conor and Labour ramp up pressure against Boris Johnson’s devastating Universal Credit cut

The Tory cut to Universal Credit will hurt hundreds of thousands of struggling families across Merseyside and St Helens. It’s set to plunge many who’ve worked on the frontline in this pandemic into serious hardship. Boris Johnson, cancel this cut.

Conor fights for a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work

Under the Tories, you could be paid £8.91 per hour or £4.62 for doing the same job – all because of how old you are. That’s totally unfair. The financial impact this is having on younger workers in St Helens Borough and our region is huge. It’s why for years…

Conor tackling blight of rural crime

Rural Crime cost the UK over £43m in 2020 – including nearly £4m in our region. I’m working with local farmers, residents and the NFU here in the North West to make sure rural communities are kept safe from crime. Read more about my recent work in the St Helens…
