What an incredible 2024!

Thank you so much to everyone. These first six months have been an honour to be your Member of Parliament. I’ve loved every minute of it and I look forward to making sure that next year is even better.

Happy New Year and here’s to a brilliant 2025.

This week in Parliament I was able to highlight the amazing work of Freda and John Grace, whose Christmas lights display at their house in Sawtry is an incredible effort!

It was great to see their efforts congratulated by the Rt Hon Lucy Powell, Leader of the House of Commons.

On ITV Anglia this evening covering the forthcoming announcement from the Government regarding the police core grant allocation of funding in Cambridgeshire and ensuring that the county receives our fair share.

On @skynewsrss.bsky.social this lunchtime for the post-PMQs panel.

Asked why the leaders’ interactions are now so brief it’s important to highlight how evasive Keir Starmer is when the answer hasn’t been pre-approved by the Labour whips for a verbatim response read out from his folder.

On ITV Anglia Late Edition last night talking about the impact Labour’s budget is having on working people.

From Chris’s interruption to land his pre-rehearsed Labour soundbites, it’s clear that’s all the Government has to offer in response to widespread criticism of their budget choices.

I asked the Policing Minister if she would review the Police Allocation Formula so that Cambridgeshire would receive its fair share of funding and additional officers next year.

As with nearly every question I’ve asked a Labour Minister she fudged the answer because she doesn’t have one.

With 10,000 farmers in Westminster today, the NFU protest has let the Government know the strength of feeling across our farming community.

I’m supporting our farmers against this unfair tax and the Government’s decision to tax Family Farms out of existence, none of which was in their manifesto.

For the past four years I have campaigned to see our non-UK veterans and their dependants have their visa fees waived.

Both Labour and the Conservatives pledged to waive visa fees in their manifestos.

I was able to ask the Government what their timetable now was for delivering that pledge.
