The Conservatives' botched Brexit deal with the EU has added 2 billion pages of unnecessary paperwork onto British businesses.

That's enough to wrap around the world 15 times.

We need a bespoke 🇬🇧UK-EU🇪🇺 Customs Union to tear down these trade barriers.

There will be no car parking charges at Cantley this year. But as @imogensd.bsky.social has outlined, sadly we can’t guarantee no council will ever need to charge for car parking

BBC South Today televised my meeting with the Minister responsible for the New Hospital Building Programme, where I was joined by staff and patients from the Royal Berks.

It is crucial for the Government to hear the concerns of those most affected by the hospital rebuild delays.

They have ambitious plans for the expansion of Hotel Chocolat, including an extra 200 jobs, and opening more shops.

Today is International Women’s Day, a time to celebrate our / their achievements.

It's also necessary to recognise the work still needed to achieve equality. We need to uplift, empower, and create a world where every woman thrives.

The US has made itself and the world weaker by withdrawing from the WHO.

The UK now has a choice: we can watch as global health security crumbles, or we can take decisive action to lead, collaborate, and strengthen the systems that keep us safe.

JD Vance's shameful comments today are further proof that the UK cannot rely on the Trump administration.

We need to bolster our national defence, including reversing the Conservatives' 10,000 troops cut as soon as possible.
