The Conservatives' privatisation disaster utterly failed rural England.
North East Hertfordshire has been left with transport deserts and stranded communities.
We need guaranteed reliable bus services to reconnect people, restore opportunity, and revive village life.

It is wholly right that Peter Mandelson has been sacked as ambassador to the US.
He should now be removed from the House of Lords too.

Microplastics from tyre wear are polluting our chalk streams—thousands of tonnes yearly. Rivers like the Rib, Ivel & Beane deserve better.
In North East Hertfordshire and across the UK, we need urgent action, not delay.
I will continue to fight for stronger protections for our precious rivers.

2023 saw raw sewage pumped into #NEHerts watercourses for over 4,000 hours, with the Cottered Brook, the Weston Tributary, and The River Quin the worst affected.
I've asked Thames Water how our existing sewage infrastructure is supposed to handle 100s of proposed new properties.
