Rogue builders are ruining lives and the system still isn’t stopping them.
I raised this in Parliament because too many families in Warrington South are left with chaos they didn’t cause even when they do everything right.

65% of Colne Valley voters want to see change in how we tax gambling - I completely agree. That is why I wrote to the Chancellor on this issue.
Gambling costs UK society £1.27 billion a year.
I will continue to raise this topic with the Chancellor.

One reason why the government is in a mess is that “is that true tho?” doesn’t get anywhere near enough weight against “what do the public think?”
Home Sec describes a widely held public perception (UK is the destination of choice for asylum seekers in Europe) + endorses it as true. Home Office data shows it is not true. Whatever merits of her policy change, should not make false factual claims

Proud to stand behind this reform.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.
Good trade.
