Delighted to see today’s much‑needed crackdown on cowboy cosmetic procedures in the UK.

This is a vital step in protecting public safety and restoring confidence in the beauty sector.

This morning on @thetimes.com radio I spoke about being at the Munich Security Conference, the importance of standing by Ukraine, & the urgent threats to our security which necessitate a strong response.

A chilly morning but a warm reception for the @aylesburylabour.org.uk team out speaking to residents in Southcourt this morning. We picked up some important issues that people need help with & spoke about the local elections coming up in May. 🌹

Lots of good conversations in Kingsbrook today! Traffic, road signage & GP access top of people’s minds, & we’re on the case. Thanks to everyone who took time to speak to us. Cc @aylesburylabour.org.uk

Today in Parliament I welcomed the Chancellor's investment in the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor & in East West Rail. I raised with Treasury Minister Darren Jones the Aylesbury Spur, which would link Aylesbury to Milton Keynes by rail, & unlock further opportunity. You can watch here:

We had a very moving ceremony in Parliament this morning, hosted by the Speaker of the Commons, in advance of Holocaust Memorial Day.

We remember them. And we resolve to speak up and speak out.

Glad to meet with Secretary of State @heidialexander.bsky.social and celebrate her great work to fix our potholes! A record £1.6 billion of funding committed, including more than £20 million for Buckinghamshire in 2025/26.

An important update from the Foreign Secretary to the House today, about the ceasefire in Gaza. I spoke about how I dare to hope this is the beginning of the end. I urged an immediate focus on humanitarian aid, getting trucks in & ultimately protecting & saving lives. Watch here:

Thanks to Bucks Fire & Rescue for welcoming me to the station!

The teams do a wonderful job of keeping the community safe. I really like their emphasis on risk assessment & prevention as much as response.

We’re lucky to have an Urban Search and Rescue team based here too, with a national remit.

Following my discussion with business owners & Aylesbury Town Council last month, I raised with the Leader of the House the need to tackle anti-social behaviour & promote respectful behaviour in our town.

I was pleased to hear her confirm this will be covered in the upcoming Crime & Policing Bill.

I was proud to vote for the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill in Parliament today.

The political games by the Conservatives & Reform are a distraction; disrespectful and dangerous.

I spoke about the Bill's important measures to protect children & support children living in poverty.

Many constituents have been in touch about the anti-Hindu violence in Bangladesh.

Freedom of religion is a fundamental right & these acts of violence are unacceptable.

Today I raised it again with Minister @catherinewestmp.bsky.social & I know she will keep pressing the Government of Bangladesh.
