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.

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...

It can’t go on. Water companies are being let off the hook by Ofwat. My request to the PM to ban water companies from negotiating away their fines for polluting our rivers 👇

I am continuing to push for better access to medicines where there are currently shortages. Medicines that support those with ADHD and menopause are life-changing, and it is unacceptable for constituents to be left without the care they need.
Good to visit Haddenham & Thame Parkway and meet Chiltern Railways to discuss the station car park and wider services. They’ve committed to reopening the upper deck by March 2027, with work starting this summer. The structure is sound, and parking capacity will be maintained during the works
I asked the Australian eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, what steps they are taking to improve online safety and what powers they have to do so. Ofcom must have the necessary resources to fully enforce the Online Safety Act.
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.
I had the chance to speak with representatives about UK space investment and its legacy since leaving the EU, which has increased the need for domestic capability and reliance on the US. The space industry is essential in providing services, from weather forecasting to navigation, for UK residents.
This week I spoke about the ill-thought-through proposals in Chalgrove. Developers unfairly return again and again to push for approval of their plans, as seen in the recent decision to allow 160 homes on appeal, as reported by the Oxford Mail.
The 100k tax trap limits re-investment in our economy, and disincentivises people from earning above this threshold. Those with a student loan pay 71% marginal rates. Those with children LOSE money by earning over the threshold. I asked the Chancellor what she is doing to tackle this issue.
Today, Vikki Slade MP raised Dr Jasmine Kelland’s research on fathering in prison with the Secretary of State for Justice. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Kelland earlier this year to discuss her work and the importance of her policy recommendations for rehabilitation.
Lowland Rescue Oxfordshire provides essential support to residents, their responsibilities include finding vulnerable people and ensuring their safety. During this debate MPs considered ways that the government can better support and sustain similar organisations.
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.
Kyle Busch passing away at the Age of 41 is so devastating to the racing community. He is a legend of the sport. Life is so fragile people. Tell your people you love them and give them their flowers today. Don’t wait.
Trump: "I think the elections are so rigged. And we have to do something about it. And we're gonna do something about it."

Renee Good reacted in a totally rational way to unidentified masked men driving up in an unmarked car cussing at her to get out the car. She tried to drive away. ICE is out of control. Dems need to withhold their votes and refuse to fund DHS until ICE makes major changes.

After recent resignations, the spotlight is back on Capitol Hill's system of reporting wrongdoing. Despite efforts to reform, staffers still face a complicated process, in which power imbalances and a culture of loyalty make it hard to speak out.

Hoe houden we Europa veilig? Met de oorlog in Oekraïne en de onberekenbare VS zijn we in EU op onze eigen defensie aangewezen. Vooral door Trump die twijfel zaait over de NAVO en Oekraïne. Maar kunnen wij op gebied van defensie wel op eigen benen staan? #pauwendewit

Verse for the Day: This isn’t hype. Not an empty 'Positive Thought' for a Monday morning. It’s a claim about reality. Some doors are quite simply opened by God - and only He carries the keys. Then the question is not can it be opened? Then the question is will you walk through it? (Happy Monday.)

This isn’t just about who gets a tax cut. It’s about who bears the long-run burden. Higher prices for basics plus temporary relief is a rotten deal for working households.
