Proud Milton Keynesian and Labour MP for MK North. Can't spell, views my own.
Consultations aren't representative and we should always take them with a massive pinch of salt.
But usually those that oppose a project are far more likely to respond than those that support (like, 5 to 6 times more likely).
So getting a response like this really is quite something.

Fascinated in the 1 in 20 people who have changed their mind about the reintroduction of Brown bears over the last six years. What's the key moment that convinced them it was a bad idea?

Really hard to find a sentence that better sums up the problem this country faces.
Complete and utter insanity.

We did hundreds of focus groups. We polled tens of thousands of voters. I knocked on hundreds of doors.
I don't remember a single person mentioning plastic straws.

I am bitterly disappointed not to see the Bedford, Luton, MK, Central Beds devo deal taken towards.
We are building loads of homes, we are growing our economy, and we can accelerate both with a new deal.
Hope we can convince the government to give us a deal as soon as possible.

I mean, I don't think I have ever seen a shopping centre with more trees within it, must be well above average on that front.
The city has 22 million trees, over 150 per person.

Pat McFadden and I had the opportunity to travel on one of those autonomous shuttles yesterday. It was great to see this cutting-edge technology in action and experience first-hand how innovation is shaping the future of transport in Milton Keynes.

Secondly, the New Town ethos means we have always embraced the future. This means we have consistently led the way in adopting new technologies, from delivery robots to autonomous shuttles. It is a testbed for the future of mobility, logistics, and urban innovation.

Fantastic morning at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, including a visit to where Larry once stayed.
One of the main reasons pets end up in rescue centres is landlords banning them in rentals. Our Renters' Rights Bill will fix that and give tenants the freedom to keep their beloved pets.

Utter garbage and proof he doesn't really understand polling.
The inability to weight by past vote well is part of the reason why the US polling industry has got itself into this state.
