On the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we remember those who gave everything to secure our peace and freedom.
I'm honoured to be spending today at RAF Wittering – it’s a privilege to represent an area where this legacy is so deeply felt.
Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Great to welcome the Chancellor Rachel Reeves to Wittering today!
We spoke with residents on doorsteps across the village about Labour’s Plan for Change and the need to fix local infrastructure – and I discussed the much-needed A1 flyover with Rachel as well.

Yesterday, I welcomed the Secretary of State for Transport @heidialexander.bsky.social to North West Cambridgeshire, where we had a great discussion with local campaigners about the importance of rural bus services.

Too many residents feel unsafe due to off-road bikes being ridden dangerously on pavements & footpaths. This is especially worrying for older people & those with mobility issues.
I’m glad Labour is taking this seriously, giving police stronger powers to crack down on this menace.

🚍 Labour is putting passengers first 🚍
The Combined Authority’s decision to introduce bus franchising is great news for passengers across Cambridgeshire & Peterborough.
For too long, private operators have prioritised profits over reliability - leaving communities stranded.

Social isolation is a growing issue, but groups like Stilton Table Tennis Club show how sport can bring people of all ages together, reduce loneliness and build stronger community bonds.
A huge thank you to the volunteers who make it all possible. 🏓

It’s time to hold polluting water companies accountable.
Last year, there were over 3,000 hours of sewage spills into the River Nene and other local waterways.
I’m backing the Environment Secretary’s Water Bill to ban bonuses for polluters, bring criminal charges, and clean up our waterways 🌊

Proud to have hosted Animal Policy International in Parliament to support their campaign to ban cruel imports that undermine UK farmers.
British farmers deserve a level playing field, and animals shouldn’t suffer for the UK market. It’s time to ensure imports meet our high welfare standards. 🌾

This weekend, I met Helping Our Ukrainian Friends, a group from Helpston and nearby villages who’ve raised more than £300k and sent over 100 tonnes of aid to Ukraine.
Their work includes delivering ambulances and summer camps for families. A true testament to the power of community. 🇺🇦

Many leaseholders across Cambridgeshire, including in Hampton, are facing rising service charges and feel left in the dark about their fees.
Today, I joined Labour colleagues in urging FirstPort to address these concerns. It’s time for transparency, fair fees, and a stronger voice for residents.
