Dr Ellie Chowns MP
@elliechowns
Rural constituencies like North Herefordshire have specific needs when it comes to SEND provision - making it more than disappointing when plans for a new specialist school in the county were cancelled last year & replaced with grossly inadequate funding allocation.

As illegal international aggression once again highlights the need for investment in renewable energy, it is crucial the govt do everything possible to protect households from bearing the brunt of surging energy prices - and to ensure no energy company profits from this war.
Every day we watch as the US and Israel breach intl law with seeming impunity, wreaking chaos and devastation on the world stage. This cannot continue. The UK must take serious action and make clear we will not be made accomplice to Trump and Netanyahu's illegal aggression.
It's been another busy week in Westminster - here's what I've been up to as your MP!
The role of gold in financing the horrors we are seeing in Sudan, including through illicitly financing arms imports, cannot be underestimated. The UK must take action to stop illegal gold trade from fuelling this brutal conflict.
The PM says it is "unforgivable" that he was not informed about Mandelson failing vetting. It is Starmer's clear lack of judgement and disregard for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein which is unforgivable. The PM must take responsibility and resign.
The brave Iranian protestors deserve the UK's full support in their fight against the horrific regime - and this includes the UK committing not to support or enable actors such as the US in violating international law through any actions in Iran.
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’s a quick update on what I’ve been up to as your MP this week!
Throwing a civil servant under the bus will not distract from the fact that the PM asked no questions about Mandelson's vetting, that his office did not even want to conduct vetting, or that he made an outrageous error of judgement in appointing Mandelson in the first place. The PM must resign.
It shouldn't take an MP intervening in a complaint for the DVLA to finally respond to an individual - but for 18 of my constituents, this has been the only way to get a response. The system must work better to ensure timely responses to the public.

Trump released a last minute video against Thomas Massie. He really wants to defeat the guy who forced him to begin releasing the Epstein files.

“Have we forgotten who we are?” People once risked everything to stand for something bigger. “I Ride” is not about history—it’s about you and me. Where are you being called to rise but holding back? What would riding even if afraid look like? Maybe it’s time. #GlendaBenevides
