Today in the Treasury Select Committee I asked the Chancellor how the Government is preparing to protect households and businesses from potential energy bill shocks caused by instability in global markets.

Last week in Cabinet Office Questions, I asked the Minister how the Government is making sure the Civil Service is driving forward on our priorities in Basingstoke, raising living standards and improving the public services we all rely on.

Quick update on what I’ve been up to this week…

I spoke with Kit from ITV about how the proposed changes to the SEND system in the Schools White Paper will build a system where children with additional needs get the right support, at the right time, closer to home - without parents having to fight for it.

Thank you to everyone who came to talk to me and my team on Saturday. If I didn't get the chance to catch up with you over a cuppa or on the door this weekend - please sign up for one of my future afternoons at the following link www.eventbrite.co.uk/cc/coffee-an... 😊

I shared the thoughts and experiences of Basingstoke parents, students and teachers on SEND with the Secretary of State for Education. I was really pleased to hear that she is taking on board our recommendations, and that local families and professionals will help shape the changes ahead.

England’s chalk streams are among the rarest habitats on Earth & a crucial part of our natural heritage. In Basingstoke we are lucky to have beautiful rivers like the River Loddon. I believe securing UNESCO World Heritage status for chalk streams would build on the protections Government has made.

Great to join @alaintolhurst.bsky.social on The Rundown @politicshome.bsky.social alongside economists @jamessmithrf.bsky.social & @nickridpath.bsky.social to talk through the Spring Statement, energy prices and the global outlook. Clip below on why energy security matters for the UK economy👇

Here is a question for you, Ron, as one count charges Mr. Comey under 875(c). What is the difference between a threat to injure "another person" and a threat to injure a "person of another," as it relates to 875(c)? Here is a hint.

“I wonder how much of what Hegseth or Cain or anybody tells the president that he actually understands, because I think that’s a challenge. If you’ve ever talked to people who tried to brief him, he’s unbriefable. He just doesn’t listen. He hears what he wants to hear.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Keep your eyes on Joe... he has a quick fuse and gets to screaming and shouting... foot-stomping, profanity-talking in public, and finger snapping. Easy to see why, with his lying and alley cat ways he has issues.

Instead of wasting millions in taxpayer dollars on politically motivated prosecutions against Trump's enemies, the Justice Department should focus on keeping Americans safe. This is more of President Trump's chaos, cruelty and rising costs for Americans.

Rumors were rampant that Aaron Rodgers would show up during the draft in Pittsburgh and announce his return for 2026. The Steelers seem to be trying to throw water on that. (Or it’s just part of the setup for the big reveal.)

Okay, so I'm pretty sure all the ghost scenes were stock footage, but they did bring Sinelnikoff back to record dialogue for this scene. But now I can only associate this with that episode of Sliders were they brought Wade back, which means Summerlee is probably a disembodied head somewhere
