Today I joined remembrance services in Rottingdean and Peacehaven to honour all those who gave their lives in service to our country.
It’s always deeply moving to see our communities come together to remember the courage and sacrifice of our Armed Forces, past and present.
We will remember them. 🌹

Great to meet Cllr Mark Earthey and local water-quality champions from FORCE & BH Seacheck at Saltdean Lido 🌊
Their community testing is vital to protect swimmers & wildlife — and I’m calling on Southern Water to extend funding so this work can continue.

Rottingdean Library matters — and local people have made that clear.
Almost 3,000 residents took part in the citywide consultation on Brighton & Hove’s libraries.
It’s a vital part of village life — and I’ll keep working with the Council, the Parish Council and campaigners to find a solution.

One of my main roles in the Cabinet Office is making sure procurement works for British businesses.
So It was great to meet with a range of small and medium businesses to discuss how we can use public procurement to boost jobs, growth and support small businesses across the country.

In Parliament tonight voting to protect the Employment Rights Bill — and to stop Tory & Lib Dem attempts to weaken it.
The Bill delivers the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation: ending zero-hours contracts, banning fire & rehire, ensuring fair pay & job security

A privilege to meet with @ujs-uk.bsky.social and Jewish student leaders last week to discuss the rise in antisemitism on campus.
No student should ever feel unsafe because of who they are. We must all stand firm against hate — wherever it appears.

Hope you have a great weekend.

🚌 What's your experience of our bus services?
Have you tried the new 3X or the 94B? How about the recent changes to city centre bus stops?
I want to hear from you: what’s working, what’s not — and how we can make buses across the constituency better, fairer and more reliable.

I’m concerned by the move from Southern Water to close St George’s Road, Kemp Town, for up to four weeks to carry out “essential works.” Local businesses are rightly furious.
I’ve asked the Council and Southern Water to urgently review this.

After the attack on Peacehaven Mosque, I called for government funding for repairs and security.
On Thursday, I was proud to stand with the Prime Minister and Home Secretary to deliver on that promise — part of £10 million funding for mosques around the country.

Disappointed by Morrisons’ update today, but this isn’t over.
Peacehaven deserves a supermarket and a town centre — and I’ll keep working with Morrisons, the Council and local businesses to make it happen. The community’s been patient for too long. 💪 #Peacehaven #CommunityFirst
