23 Apr 2026Culture & Communitymeasured“Happy St George's Day! For me this is a day of celebration and reflection I think to myself, why is our country still so unequal, so divided, why do we still have food banks and homelessness? Here's to a more equal, fairer, more just England”↗
22 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“We can't be militarily dependent on the USA We need strategic autonomy when it comes to our military, energy and industrial base. Macron was right to go on about it, but he forgot that you need a powerful state - free market forces won't deliver it! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...”↗
22 Apr 2026Educationcelebratory“Productive meeting with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions discussing exciting new plans for Folkestone and Hythe’s new Youth Hub! The government is giving us extra support to create more jobs and study opportunities for young people across our district. #folkestone #hythe #romneymarsh”↗
21 Apr 2026Health & NHScelebratory“With Labour, the number of patients waiting for treatment is down...again.”↗
21 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentangry“Debate around Mandelson fixates on process, vetting, Sir Olly Robbins' role, but it's about judgement He should never have been considered. Karen Pierce had cultivated strong relationships in the MAGA world - she was a professional diplomat. That's before we get to Epstein, Russia, China links”↗
20 Apr 2026Otherangry“So wrong! This would have dire consequences for our social contract, our society, our culture, our economy and for our standing in the world. www.ft.com/content/b9d9...”↗
20 Apr 2026Educationcelebratory“We’re making mornings easier for families in Folkestone, Hythe and Romney Marsh. ✅ Free Breakfast Clubs ✅ 30 Hours Childcare ✅ Cheaper Uniforms #folkestone #hythe #romneymarsh #FreeBreakfast”↗
19 Apr 2026Culture & Communitymeasured“Thoughtful piece. 3 things I think would help: 1. More opportunities for young people to express themselves through sport and culture 2. Not focusing on GDP, but wellbeing 3. Proactive policing that builds trustful relationships within communities www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...”↗
18 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Been campaigning with Labour Cllr candidates in Cliftonville, Islington and Worthing. It's striking how much people want change, not tinkering, but system-level change. If we're not the anti-status quo, imaginative and innovative change makers, people will just succumb to apathy.”↗
16 Apr 2026Health & NHSmeasured“I know that there's deep concern in my community about Palantir's role in the NHS. I am very worried about Palantir's access to sensitive medical data. Government should be studying the break clause in the contract! We need data sovereignty, especially in our NHS.”↗
15 Apr 2026Defence & Securityangry“I don't think they know either. It's been about regime change, preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, correcting the wrongs of historic American policy on Iran Then, they expect NATO, a defensive alliance, to weigh in. Complete absence of strategy www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...”↗
15 Apr 2026Utilities & Waterangry“Ok, Mr Hinton is waiving his bonus, but I know how angry my constituents are about water pollution in Folkestone and Hythe - this isn't going to cut it. We blame big corporates - that's part of it, but we privatised a natural monopoly - economic illiteracy? www.ft.com/content/0fde...”↗
14 Apr 2026Othermeasured“'Actions have consequences'. Words have consequences too. The populist right's first move is to debase language. Progressives and Liberals must counter this before talking about philosophies and policies. The dignity of democracy lies in our capacity to debate. www.politico.eu/article/i-th...”↗
14 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“Didn't think I'd be saying this, but well done Meloni! The UK should not be engaging in any defence cooperation with Israel whilst it continues its violations of international law and we must not resume free trade agreement negotiations! www.reuters.com/business/aer...”↗
14 Apr 2026Housing & Planningcelebratory“Great to be out in Islington yesterday supporting @heathernstaff.bsky.social, @nuturan.bsky.social and Maia Hamilton who have been doing some incredible work for the area: tackling anti-social behaviour, planting trees and increasing the stock of affordable housing! @islingtonlabour.bsky.social”↗
13 Apr 2026Defence & Securityangry“This is so tragic. It's what happens when we give up on a rules-based order and embrace a power-based order. How can we regenerate the international system so that might does not make right? Q myself and Parliamentarians need to be thinking about urgently. www.reuters.com/world/middle...”↗
12 Apr 2026Defence & Securitycelebratory“Congrats to Peter Magyar - most importantly got Viktor Orban out of power. Conservative nationalism fails wherever it is tried! Usually results in economic stagnation, corruption and cronyism. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...”↗
10 Apr 2026Tax & Public Financesmeasured“Thought for the weekend: Yes to more defence spending, but we can't also forget we need to invest in education to upskill workers, in health to improve people's wellbeing, on housing, so people have a foundation, on cilvil society and culture, so people have access to information and ideas.”↗
10 Apr 2026Environmentmeasured“Completely understand your perspective. I have been engaging with the merits and demerits of each solar farm proposal on the Marsh and there are still some unanswered questions regarding challenges like drainage.”↗
10 Apr 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“Thanks - I am very pro-solar, but I don't think that industrial-scale solar spanning hundreds of football pitches on high-quality farmland is the best way to deploy solar. In Romney Marsh in my constituency there are particular challenges with drainage.”↗
10 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“If we want a ceasefire that becomes a lasting peace in the Middle East, Israel must stop bombing Lebanon. They are bombing a country that has a displacement crisis and a food crisis according to the UN.”↗
10 Apr 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“North Sea drilling? Why? Rosebank and Jackdaw would only displace 1-2% of gas imports, wouldn't lower energy prices or produce major tax revenues - 90% of the North Sea's oil and gas has been burned. We need to produce energy not for profit, but with communities and the climate in mind.”↗
9 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“My constituent, Joe Bennett, is right. The swift and safe return of the Foremans along with other innocent political prisoners in Iran must form a core part of the peace talks We also need a special envoy designed for dealing with arbitrary detention www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...”↗
9 Apr 2026Immigrationempathetic“Deeply saddened to hear of four deaths due to an attempted Channel crossing. We need to break the incentive structure propping up the trafficking gangs - only safe and legal routes delivered upstream can do this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
8 Apr 2026Crime & Policingmeasured“From Sep 24 - Sep 25, knife‑enabled crime fell by about 9%, but in that year there were still 50000+ offences. That's why the gov has launched its Knife Crime Action Plan - the aim is to halve knife crime within a decade. Check it out here: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/69ce1b...”↗
8 Apr 2026Educationcelebratory“Glad to see the Gov is introducing a temporary cap on student loan interest rates at 6%. Interest rates on Plan 2 (undergraduates) and Plan 3 (postgraduates) loans will be capped at 6% from Sep2026. This is about protecting borrowers from inflation spikes!”↗
1 Apr 2026Immigrationempathetic“My thoughts are with the families of the two people who have died in a Channel crossing attempt. www.lbc.co.uk/article/migr...”↗
1 Apr 2026Local Governmentcelebratory“It’s been a pleasure to be out in Cliftonville today to campaign for the wonderful Joanne Bright. Jo has a fantastic record fighting to tackle violence against women and girls. She would be an incredible asset to the people of Kent if elected to Kent County Council on April 9th. #JoanneBright”↗
31 Mar 2026Energy & Net Zerocelebratory“And this will boost UK industry, creating high-skilled jobs and apprenticeships. For Folkestone, Hythe and Romney Marsh, meaning we will be building the smart, sustainable homes our community needs. I strongly endorse this joined-up approach. We must make our homes more affordable places to live.”↗
31 Mar 2026Energy & Net Zerocelebratory“🌍 Introducing the Future Homes Standard 🌍 Under these rules, new builds will feature solar panels and heat pumps as standard, ending the era of gas boilers. This crucial upgrade will save households up to £830 a year on their energy bills.”↗
