🚨 The German government published this video on its official X account. As a Brit, I’m proud they included Keir Starmer on the penguin bag. They’d never put Badenoch or Farage there. For sure. #UKNews

Nigel Farage wants every police officer in the UK to carry a gun.
Don't let him turn Britain into his version of Trump's America.

Storm Chandra is having a devastating impact across Dorset.
That’s why I called for a debate on resilience, so Dorset can secure the funding needed to build infrastructure to prevent flooding and other extreme weather events.
I’m pleased a Minister has agreed to meet me to discuss this problem.

After recently visiting SAMEE, a Dorset charity supporting disabled young adults into self-employment, I raised their work and the barriers preventing employment in Parliament.
I’m grateful that the Minister has agreed to meet with me to discuss the charity and their cause.

This is a betrayal of traditional and one-nation Conservatives as the Tory leader chases the title of the nasty party at their expense.
Most people are moderate & want to see a society where people are not left behind & public services actually work.

One of the stories of British politics over last 15 years has been Conservatives and Labour valuing narrower and narrower ideological coherence over their historic, broad coalitions and then being astonished that their vote shares keep falling.

I love recycling but this is ridiculous … they were rubbish before and they still are.
🎵I think I’ve seen this film before, and I didn’t like the ending…🎶
The people who broke our country are the same people Nigel Farage is now relying on to fix it.
It couldn’t be clearer: Reform UK are simply the Conservatives with a new logo.

Dorset is the second worst-funded police force in England: 42nd out of 43.
Because of this lack of Government funding, local council tax now covers an above-average share of Dorset Police’s budget, putting further strain on already stretched local councils.
I pressed the Home Secretary on this.

I’ve joined over 100 MPs calling on the Government to finally do the right thing for WASPI women. Women born in the 1950s were harmed by pension changes made without proper notice. Despite the Ombudsman’s findings, ministers are still delaying fair compensation.
