I have a reputation in Parliament for talking about trains - a lot! But I'm proud of that, because I'm proud of our city's rail heritage and even more excited for its future, as I shared during my debate on Regional Transport Inequality. I think a fitting celebration of the 200th anniversary of the modern railway would be the continuation of Midland Main Line electrification as part of the next chapter of our rail story. | Catherine Atkinson

Defections? More like rebranding. Same faces, same failures, same old arguments playing out in public. Reform gets exposed, the Conservatives implode. And no need to get a half-and-half scarf…it’s basically the same team. The country deserves better than egos and showy press conferences. That's why Labour is busy cracking on with the job of cutting NHS waiting lists, cutting the cost of living and cutting the country's debt. | Catherine Atkinson

I’ve been part of the committee examining the Hillsborough Bill, and we have now finished our line-by-line scrutiny to help it get ready ot become law. This Bill introduces a new duty of candour, criminal penalties for cover-ups and for misleading the public, stronger protections against misconduct in public office, and major new legal aid rights so families are never left to fight alone. This is a new chapter for truth and accountability - owed to the Hillsborough families and campaigners, and

I raised the importance of safety in Derby city centre in Parliament. Hours earlier, a robbery took place on St Peter’s Street - a stark reminder of the need to rebuild policing after years of cuts that have left our high streets vulnerable. We are seeing significant investment and regeneration of city but this needs to be accompanied by a renewed focus on safety too. Labour is taking action - through the Safer Streets plan launched right here in Derby by the Home Secretary - to deliver more vis

Labour is repairing the deep and lasting damage caused when Conservative cuts pushed local services to breaking point. Last year, this Labour government delivered a £22 million boost to Derby City Council — a really important step toward repairing our services. Now I am working to deliver the fair funding settlement fit for our city’s future - as I shared on BBC Politics East Midlands. | Catherine Atkinson

On BBC Radio 4 talking about how Labour choices are rebuilding Britain - like championing Derby’s industries through the £400 million secured in trains, planes and submarines trade deals. And by lifting the two-child benefit cap — a Conservative decision that hit working families, where the majority of affected children had a parent in work, and which pushed hundreds of thousands of children into poverty. Labour is taking a different direction: supporting families, expanding breakfast clubs and

Half of prison leavers re-offend within six months – costing us £18 billion a year. That’s not justice; it’s a cycle, and an expensive one at that. I led a debate in Parliament on Work in Prisons because we can’t accept a revolving door of crime that harms our communities and drains our economy. I also welcome the government’s Crime-Cutting Jobs Plan, announced last week, with over 300 businesses now stepping up to help prison leavers into meaningful work. Work in prisons helps people turn their

I know how worrying the closure of the temporary bridge at Darley Abbey Mills has been for local residents and businesses. The council has stepped in to lead the work, despite not owning the bridge, and the Mayor of the East Midlands, Claire Ward is providing funding to explore next steps. I know that doesn’t take away the uncertainty people are feeling right now. I’ve taken these concerns to Parliament to make sure Darley Abbey is heard, and to press for support when no one is legally responsib

Back home in Derby for Christmas but it was a busy final two weeks of Parliament: From the Railways Bill to set up Great British Railways, events on rail skills, transport, and getting ex-offenders into work. And ongoing work on our city safety. Looking forward to lots of festive events for Christmas. | Catherine Atkinson

Ever been hit with a private parking fine you didn’t see coming — despite doing everything right? You’re not alone. I’ve heard from so many people in Derby about broken machines, dodgy apps, unclear signs and aggressive letters. It’s unfair and it’s gone on for far too long. That’s why I raised it in Parliament last year, and why I’ve been pushing for change ever since working with Baggy Shanker MP, other Labour MPs from across the country, and groups like the AA and RAC. Now, we’re seeing progr

Today’s Second Reading of the Railways Bill is an important stop on our journey to set up Great British Railways with its HQ in Derby. I welcomed the Transport Secretary’s commitment to supporting our rail supply chain, backing the skills, stability and investment needed to deliver Britain’s future railway. Her confirmation of a long-term rolling stock and infrastructure strategy is a hugely encouraging sign for Derby and for the rail sector across the country. | Catherine Atkinson

100-year-old Ernie has been going the extra mile by volunteering for Derby Athletic Club for an incredible 70 years. Community heroes like Ernie are so generous with their time, deeply committed to helping others, and quietly get on with making a difference without expecting thanks or recognition. That said, it was a genuine pleasure to celebrate Ernie’s remarkable contribution in Parliament today, and to say thank you for everything he’s given to Derby and grassroots sport. | Catherine Atkinson

And to our servicemen and women spending Christmas away from home, and the families waiting for them, you’re firmly in our thoughts. Wherever you are today, whether you’re with family, on shift, travelling, or suddenly realising you’ve lost count of how many mince pies you’ve had already, I’m wishing you a
