9 Jul 2026Environmentangry“The owners of the Flusco landfill site in Newbiggin near Penrith have been found to have flagrantly broken environmental regulations. Residents cannot leave out their washing or let their kids play outside because of the stench. We need tougher action against these polluters 👇”↗
8 Jul 2026Transportmeasured“In places like Cumbria, young people often struggle to get a job because of poor public transport and a lack of affordable housing. This underinvestment in our rural communities is bad for local businesses and bad for our young people looking to enter the world of work.”↗
2 Jul 2026Educationmeasured“I'm deeply concerned by the news that North Tyneside Council have announced that they will be closing High Borrans Outdoor Education Centre in Windermere from November. I've written to the Chief Executive of North Tyneside Council, asking her to urgently review this decision.”↗
1 Jul 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“In 1945, almost half of the children who survived the Nazi death camps made a new life for themselves on the banks of Windermere. - where the fantastic Lakes School now is. We are working to build an exhibition about the Windermere Children alongside a rebuilt Lakes School 👇”↗
30 Jun 2026Agriculture & Rural Economymeasured“Hill farmers are facing crippling costs and severe cuts to their income. But many aren't able to receive Universal Credit because they don't earn the minimum wage every month. I'm glad the Minister for Employment has agreed to meet with me to discuss how we can support farmers.”↗
24 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentangry“Badenoch being needlessly graceless, personally abusive and unpleasant. The Speaker rightly calling it out.”↗
24 Jun 2026Transportmeasured“The West Coast Main Line is the busiest railway line in Western Europe. And yet the vital project to upgrade the line between Warrington and the Scottish Border has been delayed by successive governments. This must be a priority for the next Prime Minister 👇”↗
23 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“Ever since the fall of the Berlin Wall, governments led by all political parties have been complacent about the threat that our country faces. Our national security is too important - we need to work together, cross-party, to make sure our country is defended for years to come.”↗
16 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“The fact that the UK is reliant on imports for 45% of its food supply is no longer an economic convenience - it's a national security liability. We desperately need this government to start treating food security as national security. My plea to the Defence Minister👇”↗
16 Jun 2026Health & NHSmeasured“Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40, yet account for just 1% of cancer research funding. This must change.”↗
15 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“Far too often, we see housing developers using viability assessments to duck out of building the affordable homes that our communities so desperately need. Today in Parliament, I urged the Housing Minister to give local planning authorities the power to stop this from happening”↗
12 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“An absolute joy to visit High Borrans Outdoor Education Centre on #NatureOutdoorsAdventureDay to see the fantastic work they do creating life-changing experiences for young people. Outdoor education is so important in building confidence, resilience, and a love of the outdoors.”↗
1 Jun 2026Environmentcelebratory“From sewage to farming, we are leading the way on environmental issues that matter to British voters. Meanwhile, when was the last time you heard the Green Party actually talk about green issues? It's the Lib Dems who are championing environmental causes. www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...”↗
19 May 2026Transportcelebratory“I have been working with the local community over the past 12 months to make the case for National Highways to look again and I’m delighted that they have listened and have promised to look at every option at the table, including a commitment to a proper public consultation.”↗
12 May 2026Transportcelebratory“A joy to be out on the doorsteps in Tebay, Shap, and Long Marton, listening to the issues that matter most to residents - including the need for more buses, the campaign to keep Junction 38 open, and the need for more volunteers to help at Shap swimming pool!”↗
12 May 2026Agriculture & Rural Economycelebratory“It was such an honour to join Penrith Young Farmers and the wider farming community to celebrate their 90th anniversary. For 90 years, the club has enabled lifelong friendships to be nurtured & sustained, and provided a space for young people to grow as the farmers of the future.”↗
11 May 2026Agriculture & Rural Economyangry“Upland farmers who farm on common land have found themselves excluded from future agri-environment schemes because the computer software prevents their applications. This is a disaster for hill farmers, our environment, and our tourism economy. I'm fighting to get this fixed.”↗
11 May 2026Local Governmentmeasured“The election results last week show that Reform UK are on the rise - while Labour and the Conservatives are finished. The only party who can beat Reform UK at the Cumbria Mayoral elections next May are the Liberal Democrats. My interview with BBC Radio Cumbria this morning 👇”↗
5 May 2026Agriculture & Rural Economymeasured“Spot on. Surely Trump's conflict in the Middle East and Putin's invasion of Ukraine show how utterly vital our food security is? The Government needs to wake up and back our farmers.”↗
28 Apr 2026Utilities & Watercelebratory“This week, I presented a Private Member’s Bill in Parliament, which seeks to radically reform the water industry to reduce sewage pollution”↗
28 Apr 2026Jobs & Employmentmeasured“Around one in five people of working age have a disability. Many of them already work - many more would wish to. We should be investing in giving disabled people the confidence and opportunities so that they can enter the world of work and thrive.”↗
24 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“This land sits right next to the Furness railway line - a vital transport link to both BAE Submarines in Barrow and Sellafield nuclear power station. That’s why I made representations to ministers asking whether this sale would be compliant with the UK’s sanctions against Russia.”↗
21 Apr 2026Agriculture & Rural Economycelebratory“Proud to co-sponsor my friend and colleague @sarahdykeld.bsky.social's Good Food Bill in Parliament. We need a national food strategy that boosts food security and backs our farmers by encouraging supermarkets and public service providers to prioritise the procurement of British-grown produce.”↗
15 Apr 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“Communities across rural Britain are being hollowed out, with so many homes standing empty for months on end. Meanwhile, young people struggle to afford to stay in the area where they grew up. We need real action to tackle this crisis. My question to the Housing Minister 👇”↗
14 Apr 2026Agriculture & Rural Economymeasured“In these deeply unstable times, our country's ability to feed itself is vital. And yet England is now the only country in Europe that does not use its farm payment scheme to support its farmers to produce food. I'm urging the Prime Minister to get serious about food security.”↗
