So delighted that Green Wedmore, a community based climate and nature action group, has been awarded the King’s Award for Voluntary Service. Since it was established in 2006, the group has made a big difference, developing everyday ways to reduce our environmental impact and restore nature locally.

Nigel Farage used to believe in reforming the voting system, now he's rowed back because it no longer benefits him.
We will keep fighting for a fair votes, not because it benefits us but because it's right for the country.

Crucial that relatives of #ChinookJustice crash victims, with legitimate concerns re the lack of answers, are heard. Delighted that during Monday’s debate on the Public Office (Accountability) Bill - ‘The Hillsborough Law’ - the Minister committed to meet with families and their MPs. I’ll be there.

I really welcome this. Scaling up our military strength is not just about tanks and ships.
It is also about morale.
Our troops could be asked to put their lives on the line to protect us. The least we can do is give them somewhere decent to live.

I welcome Government confirmation today that it will act on five recommendations from the Infected Blood Inquiry Additional Report published in July 2025 - it’s an important step.
I’ll continue to scrutinise its response to the Scandal to ensure all affected receive full and fair compensation.

For the 2nd time in as many days, a government minister has described our case as "serious" - also describing the "devastating" impact on our families still searching for the truth. Progress? or coincidence?

Today, I joined the families of those who died when a Chinook crashed in 1994 to deliver a petition to 10 Downing Street. They are still in the dark. The petition demands that the Defence Secretary meets with them, the documents are released, and a public Inquiry is held.

So pleased to be able to contribute to this debate on PoTS - thanks to @catsmithmp.bsky.social for securing it and constituents for prompting me. Looking to government for far better responses to this debilitating condition - funding for research and improved access to supportive specialist help.
Clip from yesterday’s Westminster debate on PoTS, Tessa Munt MP @tessamunt.bsky.social raised the case of a constituent’s daughter with #MECFS who believes she also has PoTS. After finally seeing a consultant in Bristol, she was told PoTS was “a TikTok fashion” and refused any testing.
