🤔 You often get cynicism that opposition MPs can't get results...
But we’ve demonstrated we can, and have achieved so much in these last 15 months alone.
Now, we need to fight harder than ever to stop the Family Farm Tax.

🚨 Around 260 prisoners have been mistakenly released over the last year alone. That figure is absolutely shocking. 😳
With the latest high-profile cases in the news over the last few weeks, the Government NEEDS to get a grip on this urgently. ⏳

🚨 Cornwall CANNOT be left behind again from lack of funding.
With Andrew George MP and Cornwall Council Leader Leigh Frost, I've written to Chancellor Rachel Reeves urging the Government to confirm a replacement for the vital Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) before it expires in March.

⛪️ MUSEUM FUNDING IN CORNWALL: We can't be left out! 🚨
Cornwall’s museums bring so much educational, historical, and community value to our towns.
But too many (like Bodmin Keep - Cornwall's Army Museum) are really struggling to survive at the moment. 👇👇

Too many of my constituents have been stung by dodgy developers, who've gone bust and left entire developments - and communities - without the promised sewage or road works.
