I asked the Minister to increase funding for active travel, given the significantly larger sums invested in major infrastructure projects such as HS2. The Thame to Haddenham Greenway would provide a safe walking and wheeling route that campaigners have been asking for over the last 25 years.

Today, I introduced the Water Industry Act 1991 (Amendment) (Payment of Fines) Bill. This Bill would prevent water companies, like Thames Water, from negotiating away fines. The...

I was pleased to welcome @hrwallingford.bsky.social to the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee’s Innovation Showcase. HR Wallingford is doing important work on water challenges and the UK must invest in sovereign science to strengthen our position as an attractive hub for innovation.
Earlier this week the Thame–Haddenham Greenway campaign reached 10 Downing Street. With Cllr Kate Gregory, Mayor Andy Gilbert, Greg Smith MP & campaigners, we presented a petition signed by 3,630 residents. We’ll keep pushing for a safe A418 alternative for walking, cycling & wheeling
At the Second Reading of the Health Bill, I highlighted concerns over ICB commissioning, safeguarding confidentiality in a single patient record, and the absence of reform of JCVI and the National Screening Committee. I will hold the Government to account as the Bill proceeds through Parliament.
I visited Chinnor Allotments with Cllr Georgina Heritage and Cllr Ed Sadler, committing to support peat-free compost and protect peatland
Youth unemployment is soaring. The Chancellor’s jobs tax, combined with the threat of AI, is bearing down on opportunities, and young people are facing increasingly difficult and uncertain times. With no clear action being taken, I asked the government to set out its plans to tackle this issue.
I stuck up for SMEs during the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill. Without proper support to defend themselves, many small and medium-sized enterprises will struggle to secure the funding needed to strengthen their cyber security. Unfortunately, the Government rejected this amendment.
During today’s debate, I asked the Government to set out a clear timeline to review the 10% commission charge applied when selling park homes. Park homes provide affordable housing for many residents, but charges like these can make properties difficult to sell.
I visited Wheatley residents who have spent the past six years battling to stop raw sewage flooding into their homes during heavy rain. My Bill would stop Thames Water delaying or avoiding fines and ensure water companies face enforceable consequences for environmental breaches.
Good to see the Thame to Haddenham Greenway featured on ITV local news. I was proud to join campaigners last week to hand in the petition to 10 Downing Street, urging progress on a safe walking and cycling route between Thame and Haddenham.
I had the chance to speak with representatives from CERN about the work they do. CERN is a European Organization for Nuclear Research, and although the UK was a founding member, funding allocated for research projects has been uncertain. I asked what this uncertainty means for future projects.

This is all you need to know about Mr. DJT. He is envious and jealous of Obama. That's bad enough. But more than that, he can't count; which may explain why he's had 5 bankruptcies. He believes that since both were elected, then DJT should get the Nobel too. But again, DJT forgot arithmetic.

Noah Wyle calls on Congress to pass a tax credit for healthcare workers: "Medicine is hard enough, but so much of the damage is coming from everything around it. It's the staffing ratio that turns a manageable shift into a moral injury. It's the tuition bill that still dictates what you can afford"

40 years ago: NBC’s 1986 “Come Home” campaign already felt like a televised revival meeting… but then they got Michael Landon from Highway to Heaven to personally invite viewers home to NBC. 😇📺 It was like a divine command to watch Thursday night television.
And the rest of those involved with the slow roll to the NS/NB border leave from the Enfield big stop. Police are with them. Note not all vehicles featured in this video are involved in the slow roll. It is just the way they came out). Expect traffic delays along Highway 102 and Highway 104.
Chicago has thousands of vacant lots, full of potential but left untouched for years. These could be homes. These could be businesses. This could be hope for a neighborhood that’s been waiting too long. It’s time for leadership that doesn’t just talk about potential but turns it into progress.
From Africa to Eastern Europe, I’ve listened to many people talk about the brutality of Russian fighters who’ve committed human rights abuses in these areas. It doesn’t matter where it happens, the stories are similar. We can’t be quiet. We betray our friends when we stay silent.
For those who might not remember, when @kamalaharris.com left her position to become a US Senator, Governor Jerry Brown nominated Xavier Becerra to become California Attorney General.

Real person with a script. OR a generated face with a caption. Both are possible now. That face might not exist. That office might be generated. That caption was definitely written by a committee. AI can make a fake accounts now. That’s the point. Your outrage is the product. Don’t engage.
