🗣️ Today, on #InternationalMen'sDay, I spoke about the urgent need to address our mental health crisis.
As Chair of the APPG for Rural Business, I hear devastating stories of suicide in our farming community. 95% of young farmers say mental health is the biggest hidden danger in the sector.

My recent survey found that local farmers don't report over a third of rural crimes because they feel nothing would happen if they did.
Last week, I asked the government to ensure that the police have access to the training and resources they need to tackle this type of crime.

🗣️ Yesterday I spoke in Parliament about the need for credible action to meet the UK’s carbon budget.

Fascinating to take part in #EvidenceWeek and discuss how publicly funded research can tackle our major challenges, from improving access to essential services to combating climate change.
It was great to meet with Windracers and SeaCURE to hear how they're innovating in their sectors.

This is welcome news, I hope this is a genuine attempt from the government to look again at the evidence and put things right. In my role on the Work and Pensions Committee, I'll keep pressing for support for WASPI women.

This morning, I joined the #ArmisticeDay commemorations in Horsham to remember all those who gave their lives in service, and those who still live with the cost of war.
A reminder of how vital it is that we stand together in the face of division and continue to push for peace today.
