Businesses keep telling me - banking in market towns just isn’t doesn't work for them. There’s nowhere to open or manage accounts, sign documents, get advice, or sort problems face‑to‑face. Online and phone banking simply isn’t enough for many rural businesses.

Why does the Government continue this daft policy of restricting growth in rural areas? Its decisions over more than a year have had a devastating impact on farming families, communities and businesses.

People living along the former HS2 route to Crewe have been badly let down. HS2 needs be held to account for commitments made and I’m pleased the Minister will meet with me and other MPs to put things right for those in North Shropshire who have been so poorly treated.

Sandra endured over 30 hours on a plastic chair in A&E, while ambulances filled the car park. 2025 was the worst year on record for patients waiting longer than 12 hours to be seen. We need a legal guarantee that this will end and patients can start to receive the care they expect, and deserve.

We must restore the trust of the British public. We have to show that lessons have been learned about political scandal, about cover up, about entitlement. We have to show we’re taking actions to restore trust in what this House is up to and what the wider establishment is allowed to get away with.

Accident victims are being misled by fake insurance ads in search results. The Government must stop 'paid ad spoofing', where drivers are tricked into dealing with rogue firms, left facing huge bills. Fraud is not victimless – honest motorists pay the price. Tech platforms and regulators must act.

I'll be telling Minister Hendy why he's got his facts wrong, why Whitchurch station needs step-free access, and why this decision is a disgrace.

That's why it's vital Oswestry is reconnected to the mainline - a rail link would mean businesses could attract employees from a wider area; young people could access more education options; and greater investment and regeneration.

🚨 Today I raised the issue of drug dealing and county lines with Home Office ministers. ☎️ Many of you have contacted me to flag concerns in your area. 🚔 We need more community policing to clamp down on dealing, ASB and all rural crime.

It’s hard to believe it was four years ago this week that we had the North Shropshire by-election. So much has changed in that time – not least the four prime ministers, five chancellors and five health secretaries…

Recent analysis released this week by KFF, the nonpartisan health research organization, reports premiums would increase 114% on average, and the people it will hit hardest are working families in rural areas like farmers and blue collar workers. #TrumpsWarOnPoorPeople Credit: @fubarpac

Antimicrobial resistance has been growing into a serious threat, yet political action has fallen short through both lack of understanding and lack of will. The government must face up to this crisis and take the bold action needed to protect our future. #AMR #PublicHealth

If there’s nothing to hide, there’s no reason not to testify. The Epstein files are being covered up – and Trump must answer for it under oath.  The public deserves answers.

Absolument subjugué par la proposition, autant visuelle que narrative présentée par @noneuclideangames.bsky.social avec War Fantasy, un titre nous plongeant dans les arcanes des jeux vidéo propagandistes. Suivrez-vous aveuglément les règles ou remettrez vous en question la chaine de commandement ?

Just released: a new report shows that 36 fossil fuel giants are responsible for half of the world’s CO₂ emissions. Thirty-six. While communities are fighting to survive floods, fires, and record heat, a handful of corporations are driving the crisis and cashing the checks.

The way Trump stared at this reporter is disturbing. She was asking him about U.S foreign policy/China’s role in Latin America. Instead of answering her question he says to Vance Í just like to watch her talk “before saying to her”Good job Good job thank you Darling”. This is so 🤢
