“Supports government approach but seeks legislative action to classify catapults as offensive weapons to combat illegal wildlife and personal harm in Kent.”
“Welcomes government's £400 million grassroots sports funding commitment and seeks assurance on local allocation for Swanscombe Pavilion to address low youth physical activity rates…”
“Backs the proposal to lower minimum age and suggests adding catapults to offensive weapons list; emphasises link to social media trend and need for stronger police powers.”
“Supports UK efforts to marshal coalition support for Ukraine and emphasises Ukrainian red lines including NATO membership freedom and territorial integrity.”
