I joined BBC Radio Sussex this morning to discuss water scarcity following my Parliament debate on the issue.
Its impacts are felt across so many sectors, which is why we need a coherent national strategy that delivers new supply and safeguards water security for future generations.

Brilliant to hear that the British Baby Box pilot scheme is launching.
When I met with the team earlier this year, it was clear just how much support these boxes can give new parents.

🗣️ The idea that “millions” receive Motability cars for conditions like anxiety or ADHD are simply untrue; only a fraction of claimants are eligible, and many have physical disabilities that justify the support.
Our national debate around welfare must be based on the evidence.

🗣️ Later today, I’ll be holding a parliamentary debate on water scarcity and the challenges it poses for the UK.
Water shortage is becoming a major threat to housing, agriculture, and ultimately economic growth.
It’s time to treat it with the urgency it deserves.

🛍️ Tomorrow is Small Business Saturday!
Last week's Budget offered little relief for our much-loved businesses in Horsham.
Now more than ever, it's vital that we do what we can to support them this weekend.

🟣 Proud to wear my Scope badge for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
As a member of the Work and Pensions Committee, I’ll keep pushing for a system that treats people with dignity and for meaningful reform in the upcoming Timms Review.

🗣️ A lasting peace cannot reward aggression or leave Ukraine more vulnerable.
Major cuts to Ukraine’s defences and commitments that would limit its sovereignty risk encouraging Putin to resume war later down the line.

It is with great sadness to hear of the passing of Jack Dark, the last WWII RAF Lancaster Pathfinder.
I had the great privilege of meeting Jack and his son Chris in Horsham recently. My deepest condolences to all his family and friends.
We thank you for your service, Jack.

🗣️ Devolution should strengthen local voices, not take power further away.
Our Capitol Theatre, our parks and many other community assets thrive because local people run them.
Without proper protections and fair funding for town and parish councils, these loved local assets could disappear.

I had a great time at the opening of the new padel courts at Bluecoat Sports Centre at Christ's Hospital!
I got to test them out in a few doubles matches alongside Sophie Bray - Olympic gold medallist and now one of the UK's top 20 women's padel players.

This Budget offered a chance to restore growth and give people hope that things can get better. Instead, this feels more like we’re just treading water.
It’s a Budget that kicks the big issues further on down the road. I'll continue to press for a better approach for Horsham.

On the eve of the Budget, I’m urging the Chancellor to set out a plan that genuinely supports families, pensioners and small businesses across Horsham.
The government should start by backing our plans to cut VAT for hospitality, protect jobs and put money back into people’s pockets.
