If the Chancellor wants to cut costs, why not start by slashing all the Brexit red tape from the Tories' botched deal?

It's been a busy few days preparing our next satellite for integration, and I had the opportunity to see firsthand what's happening in Budapest. I was able to observe briefly some of the ongoing protests against Orban and Putin. I had the chance to visit Liberty square too - poignant and moving.

But time is ticking for the government to strengthen and improve UK climate and nature legislation⏳

The scale of the ecological damage is profound and we're already one of the most deprived countries in the world. The case for airport investment is flimsy at best, with SAF and sustainable flight very suspect. We need rail investment to genuinely interconnect our country.
Do you realise what #HeathrowExpansion means?
It will affect the whole Colne catchment including the #Ver, #Gade #Misbourne and #Chess. FIVE rivers will be built over, completely severing the link for Eels and other migratory species between the @chilternstreams.bsky.social and the #Thames

Why is the government happy to cosy up to China, but won't even look at a better customs deal with our closest neighbours in Europe?
Ministers say they’re looking everywhere for growth but are ignoring what is staring them in the face.

The delay to our hospital is a huge betrayal to our patients, our staff and our town. We cannot allow the decision to go unchallenged and hope you will join us as we organise our campaign to make Watford's message heard by the Government.
We can’t wait another decade before the rebuilding of Watford General even starts.
Patients and staff deserve so much better.
Labour Ministers and MPs need to get on with it and deliver the funding needed for this vital project.

Thanks to Watford Council, Friends of Cassiobury Park, Community connections and the many volunteers from near and far for supporting the tree planting today in our beautiful Whippendel Woods! Today hundreds of trees were planted of the 3,000 we have planned for the area.

The second reading of the critical #CANBill is only a few weeks away. Today I've written to my MP, Matt Turmine, urging him to support the bill. Please write to your MP today! Nature is vital to safeguard our future, protect our wildlife and essential to our economy, too.
