12 May 2026Health & NHSmeasured“Despite the prevalence of these conditions, they are still poorly understood and lack effective treatment. We’re urging the government to support greater awareness and establish a national research hub to help find the answers patients desperately need.”↗
12 May 2026Health & NHScelebratory“🟠 On #WorldMEDay, I’m proud to stand with Action for ME as a parliamentary champion for people living with the condition.

12 May 2026Agriculture & Rural Economycelebratory“🚜 Had a brilliant day visiting ABP UK's Bromstead Farm as part of the NFU Food and Farming Fellowship. Our farmers produce some of the highest quality food in the world and are essential to our national food resilience.”↗

6 May 2026Educationmeasured“Families across Horsham deserve clarity and proper support through these SEND reforms. I’ll keep pressing the government to get this right.”↗
4 May 2026Health & NHSmeasured“It remains under-researched and lacks treatments tailored to its unique biology. We are clear that this must change now; it's time for the government to give patients the support they desperately need.”↗
4 May 2026Health & NHSmeasured“We also delivered a petition to Downing Street calling for a dedicated research programme into the disease. Lobular accounts for around 15% of breast cancer cases, but is frequently missed. It rarely forms a lump and often does not show up on standard mammograms, often leading to later diagnoses.”↗
4 May 2026Health & NHSempathetic“ I recently joined the Horsham-based Lobular Moon Shot Project in Westminster for a silent vigil, standing for 22 minutes to represent the 22 women diagnosed with lobular breast cancer every day in the UK.”↗
2 May 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“Companies like Chess Dynamics in Horsham are ready to deliver vital defence technology, but uncertainty around investment plans is holding them back.

29 Apr 2026Crime & Policingangry“🗑️ Fly tipping has got to stop.  It is damaging our countryside and leaving farmers to pay the price for crimes committed against them, often at huge cost. We need a fairer system where those responsible are properly held to account.”↗
28 Apr 2026Educationmeasured“📢 I'm hosting a SEND Roundtable to hear from parents, carers, and educational professionals who are directly affected by upcoming reforms. 🗓️ Date: Monday 11 May 2026  📍 Location: Online, Microsoft Teams ⏰️ Time: 7pm-8.30pm”↗

23 Apr 2026Educationmeasured“🗣️ We need clarity on future SEND reforms. Specialist schools in Horsham are doing incredible work supporting children with complex needs. However, in the government’s Schools White Paper, it’s still not clear what role these schools will play in the future system.”↗
22 Apr 2026Health & NHSmeasured“Tonight is the TV premiere of the Lobular Moon Shot Project film 'Our Journey with Lobular Breast Cancer'. You can tune in at 7pm on Freeview 83, Sky 170, Virgin 136 or Freesat 162.”↗

21 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentangry“What’s happened with Peter Mandelson is unacceptable. The British people were promised change at the last election and an end to the chaos from the Conservatives. Instead, we’re seeing the same untrustworthiness and lack of transparency from this government.”↗

21 Apr 2026Health & NHSempathetic“I know this is a huge relief for the local families, who have had to fight so hard for this to happen. I was with the parents during their meeting with the Health Secretary a few weeks ago, and they put their case forward in such an impressive manner.”↗
21 Apr 2026Health & NHScelebratory“After two years of campaigning, I'm really pleased to hear that the Health Secretary has accepted calls for Donna Ockenden to chair a full independent review of maternity services at University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust.”↗
20 Apr 2026Utilities & Watermeasured“🏊️ At a time when too many of our rivers and seas aren’t safe to swim in, it’s deeply worrying that 1,200 pools have closed since 2010. We need to back our communities and secure the future of these vital local facilities.”↗
16 Apr 2026Local Governmentmeasured“📰 In my West Sussex County Times column this week, I discuss the upcoming local elections.”↗

15 Apr 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“What started as a derelict warehouse back in July 2025 has been transformed into a sleek music and events venue. The vast amount of acoustic work that’s been done alone is impressive. It's a real asset for the town, and I can't wait to see it thriving.”↗
15 Apr 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“Great news for Horsham's music scene! 🎶🎸 Last week, I visited Brolly Brewing for a sneak peek of their new venue, The Brolly Fermentarium, which opens its doors on Saturday.”↗
