Today I took part in the weekly Page-Turning Ceremony. This is a new meaningful tradition of remembrance that began in May 2025. Each week, a name is read from the Books of Remembrance commemorating and honouring Members, sons, daughters and servants of the House of Commons.

Following work I took part in following experiences with Guide Dogs and a number of disabled constituents, I'm incredibly pleased to see the government announce plans to develop powers which will enable local transport authorities to prohibit pavement parking in their areas.

It was a real pleasure to bring Paul Skivington a Para-jiu-jitsu athlete to parliament.
Alongside his competitive career, Paul teaches children and adults of all ages and abilities, developing his own syllabus to support and empower disabled athletes.

Great to meet with General Aeronautical, to discuss future opportunities in Swindon ✈️
Our conversation focused on Swindon’s role within the M4 defence corridor and how the town’s manufacturing heritage and connectivity could support next-generation aerospace and defence technologies.

Wonderful to have the team from Ondas Capital to Parliament.
It’s encouraging to see innovative companies recognising Swindon as a place to build, collaborate, and scale. We look forward to continuing the conversation and exploring what this could mean for local businesses and skills.

It was great to engage with Lucinda Kirk from Nominal in Parliament. Their company is working in the Unarmed Aviation Vehicle flight testing space which could accelerate how our technology improves.

First meeting of the year and it was with another drone company!
Sky-drones work in partnership with the police, NHS and UKRI as well as defence so they are valuable company I would love to see in Swindon.

From next year, Penhill will get £2m a year for 10 years — £20m in total — to deliver real, lasting change.
The difference? Local people will decide how it’s spent, not politicians or developers.
A survey is coming soon, but for now, share your ideas below.

In the autumn of last year I wrote to the Policing Minister regarding Wiltshire Police's funding situation. Our police do an incredible job and I was proud to see Government grant for Wiltshire police increasing by over £3m.

This Year has been full of delivery. The government have brought forward key legislation and locally Swindon has attracted a number of high profile drone manufacturers, delivering quality jobs to our town. I look forward to continuing to work for Swindon North in 2026.

Great to visit Great Western Academy just before the Christmas Break. They've done some incredible work from establishing their sixth form to focussing on both student achievement, inclusion and wellbeing. They noted their intention to work toward more sensory facilities for their SEND students.

Happy Christmas! Parliament has now risen for the Christmas recess, and I was privileged to attend an event at No.10, a real highlight of the year.
I am certainly looking forward to enjoying some eggnog and a mince pie.
Wishing you a wonderful festive season!
