Really pleased to be able to give a certificate to the volunteers at the Highworth Community Church. Their contribution to the Swindon North constituency was highlighted to me in my recent survey and I'm so grateful to them for all the support they offer our community.

This week in Parliament, I marked #WhiteRibbonDay where people around the world come together to stand up against men’s violence against women and girls This years theme is #WeSpeakUp. As men, it is so important that we use our voices to help create a world where everyone is safe and equal.

Really pleased to see the chancellor lift the two child benefit cap. This cruel policy punished children for simply being born, it was unfair and unnecessary and its removal will bring 450,000 children out of poverty.

Great news that the government are making entertainment more accessible so no one can resell tickets for more than the original price and bring in new punishments for anyone who does just that.
The Government supports live entertainment for the fans not fraudsters. 🌹🎟️

I’m committed to delivering safer, warmer, and more affordable homes in Swindon. Today in Parliament, I asked for additional support for local councils so they can increase investment in social housing stock.

Did you catch me on the ITV West Country Debate last week?
I never miss a chance to talk about Swindon and I made sure to highlight the advanced manufacturing I've brought back to our town, creating 800 new jobs and generating millions in business rates for SBC.

I was lucky enough to be able to take some time off this weekend and took part in a Warhammer tournament.
It was a great play at the Old World An Alliance of Grand Generals. We took first place but I have to admit it was down to my amazing team mates.
