I often deal with complex domestic abuse cases on behalf of my constituents in North Cornwall. Many are victims of economic abuse, where partners will restrict bank accounts, access to funds, and leave the victim financially alone and helpless. ❌

🚨↩️ Reflecting back on 2025… and what a year it has been!
We’ve had a number of huge wins this year, especially with Government’s recent U-turn on the Family Farm Tax that was fought against from the start by hundreds of North Cornwall’s farmers 🎉
Now onto 2026!

🏥 Hundreds of thousands of people in our hospitals right now are well enough to leave - but they can’t, because the social care system is under far too much strain to receive them.
It’s like fixing a leaky bucket in our NHS… 👇

🚨 I spoke about the rising cost of living for my North Cornwall constituents on LBC last night...
Because while the Labour government seems busy with infighting and division (just like the previous Conservative government) the rest of the country struggles with prices.

🚨🚨 At PMQs today, I pressed the Prime Minister on water pollution in North Cornwall - from the Camelford Water Poisoning scandal in the past, to the sewage dumping our communities are having to face now.
My constituents deserve answers, accountability, and action.
I'll be making sure they get it.

🚨 Tonight I voted against the Family Farm Tax (part of the government's Finance Bill) on behalf of North Cornwall’s farming community.
I’ve raised this repeatedly in Parliament, met directly with Ministers, and hosted Cornish farmers at Westminster to make their voices heard.

Thanks very much to all the children who sent in their designs. We had some really bright, creative ideas and it was so difficult to pick a winner!

📚 A great day visiting Launceston College and Launceston Primary School yesterday.
I held Q&A sessions with students, took some brilliant questions, and even had a go on their VR headsets (a fantastic example of how engaging learning can be!) 🙂

🚨 Yesterday I met with MOD Minister Luke Pollard, to push forward Bodmin Keep’s case and help secure the funds needed for the museum to re-open its doors ASAP.
I’ve been supporting the Keep since they reached out to me last year, working with them to help secure their future.

🚝 Rail Nationalisation - what good will it actually bring for North Cornwall? 🤔
With infrequent trains, packed carriages, abysmal WiFi, and sky-high fares, I asked what it’ll actually mean for my constituents in real terms… 👇

I stood up in Parliament to voice the concerns of many of my constituents who’ve been stung by rogue builders.
The effects can be devastating - and so many people here in North Cornwall have either experienced it first hand...

It'll cost the British taxpayer billions of pounds, which completely dwarfs the savings from things like the damaging Family Farm Tax...
