Populists like Farage promise voters a simpler life. In fact, they produce ever more hassle and chaos. Centrists won’t beat Reform UK by echoing its messages. They should emphasise the true unworkability of policies like Brexit. - Correct!

I understand the worry that the tariffs announced by Donald Trump will have caused for businesses in North Warwickshire and Bedworth. If you’re a local business and you’re impacted by the US tariffs, please get in touch with my office and I’d be happy to help.

Handmaking a placard for the protest tomorrow until 2am and it looks like this because I am nothing if not my mother's daughter.

Great to be out on Coventry Canal with Mary Creagh MP, and the Canal & Rivers Trust staff and volunteers this morning. We were lucky enough to spot a kingfisher and a sleeping fox.
Setting off on the Coventry Canal this morning to look for the wild birds and animals living alongside us in Foleshill & Longford.
Canals helped build Coventry and now connect people with nature. Thanks to Canal and River Trust’s brilliant staff & local volunteers for letting me skipper the barge!
