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.

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... 😊

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.

Protecting my constituents’ living standards means tackling the cost of living head on and taking the right decisions to keep the economy stable.

Yesterday in the Treasury Committee the OBR confirmed that the Chancellor's remarks on 4 Nov were entirely consistent with what the OBR were forecasting... the Tories seemed to ignore that point in today's Urgent Question

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👇

You don’t fix a fossil fuel crisis by doubling down on fossil fuels. I'm proud the Gov is breaking the link between gas & electricity prices and speeding up clean power at home... that’s how you deliver energy security & stable bills.

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

Today in Parliament, I asked the @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social how the draft bill announced today will make the transition to commonhold actually work - not fail like it has before.

NEWS: According to a bombshell new report, Trump is far more afraid of being prosecuted for war crimes than he lets on. An Insider tells Reuters the U.S. is threatening sanctions unless the court agrees not to pursue cases against Trump, J.D. Vance, or Pete Hegseth. @meidaa.bsky.social

More and more people are cycling regularly in Dublin. And people would like to cycle more - but they want to be safe, on cycle lanes that are separated from traffic.

“Grocery prices ain’t no joke” isn’t a meme, it’s the state of the union. People are grateful just to get to the store and still walk out distraught at the total. But sure, tell us it’s all in our heads.🤬 #WeCantAffordTrump

A moment that shaped how I lead? Teaching algebra to 7th and 8th graders on Chicago’s West Side. Leadership isn’t about telling people what to do—it’s about listening, understanding, and helping them bring out their best.

Rubio says he’s happy about how we have transformed foreign aid, brushing off massive policy failures as bumps in the road. He lives in a fantasy world where destroying international alliances, abandoning global stability counts as a proud achievement. (I wouldn’t be in his shoes, even if they fit.)
