We all want to see a more efficient and productive court system - but scrapping jury trials, a fundamental right and cornerstone of our democracy, won't accomplish this.

Happy Friday everyone - here with another quick update on what I've been up to as your MP this week!
Once again a Labour minister resorts to party-political attacks and misinformation rather than answering a simple question: how can the UK trust Trump to have a viable plan for the Strait of Hormuz given his absolutely reckless and illegal actions in the Middle East?
In 2020, Keir Starmer said he would bring in legislation which would require any UK military intervention to have a lawful basis, viable objective, and approval by MPs. He has not done this - so I have, tabling the Armed Conflict (Requirements) Bill earlier this month.
It's clear that funding must match the realities of the areas where funding is needed - so why, under the so-called 'Fair Funding Review', will areas like Herefordshire see funding slashed and a removal of remoteness adjustment for all areas but social care?
There is no amount of subservience or ego-flattering that will turn Donald Trump into a reliable ally for the UK - a state visit from the King won't do it either.
There is clearly a case to be answered on Starmer's statements about the Mandelson vetting scandal - that is what today's vote is about, and why I supported the Motion. All MPs, regardless of Party, owe it to their conscience and their constituents to do the same.
If you're wondering how seriously Starmer takes the responsibility of PMQs, today he chose to completely dodge my question about water pollution and support for farmers - and instead rant about America, nuclear weapons, and cocaine. Utterly ridiculous behaviour.
For over a year the UK govt has taken no serious action as the US and Israel flouted international law with impunity. Despite it becoming increasingly clear our inaction has only emboldened the two nations, the govt still refuse to condemn the illegal US/Israeli strikes on Iran.
Once again the UK govt condemns Israel's actions and says they are prepared to take further action - then fail to do so. This inaction is unacceptable. Ban settlement trade, sanction Netanyahu, stop all military cooperation with Israel, punish war crimes.
Happy Friday everyone - here with a quick update on what I've been up to as your MP this week!

The results of the September 2026 Russian elections have been decided. After a free and fair vote, the United Russia party will win by the same margin as they did in 2021, around 49.8%. The Kremlin doesn't want the vote to look TOO rigged, it needs to be just rigged enough.

An Indian MP criticizes Narendra Modi and his government for visiting Israel after the Gaza Strip genocide, and pays tribute to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei as a martyr. English subtitles.
Aspiranti giudici federali rifiutano dati oggettivi, come la vittoria elettorale di Joe Biden alle presidenziali del 2020, in nome alla fedeltà al presidente Trump. Sempre meno “Land of the free”, sempre più dittatura Trumpiana. Non restiamo in silenzio.
