8 Jul 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“I recently highlighted in Westminster how developers are exploiting top-down housing targets and grey belt rules to push through inappropriate developments. Labour has kept the same top-down approach as the Conservatives. Residents deserve a real say over development in our area”↗
7 Jul 2026Tax & Public Financesangry“Farage, if you can't stand the heat, just get out of the kitchen. Don't make the taxpayers pay for your vanity project.”↗

16 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“Yesterday I met with businesses in the steel industry who will be affected by changes to steel tariffs, including those supplying the defence sector. The Government work harder to find practical solutions that protect jobs and support the competitiveness of the UK economy.”↗
15 Jun 2026Technology & Digitalangry“After months of delay, the Government's online safety plans don't go far enough.
