At one of my surgery appointments last week, a constituent came to see me to discuss her long-term issues with the Child Maintenance Service. I am pleased to share that earlier this week I raised the issue with Ministers in Parliament and they have agreed to look into her case. 1/2

Interference in our democracy, foreign or domestic, is something we must move quicker on. Recent cases, including disgraced Reform politician Nathan Gill working for the Russian government and Peter Mandelson sharing information with Epstein, are two examples of where current processes failed. 1/3

🌞Sunshine Bill Win!🌞 Today, the government announced that from 2028 all newbuild homes will come with solar panels as standard. This follows my private member’s bill last year calling for exactly that. I’m so pleased to have contributed to a meaningful law change law so early in my term as an MP.

People have had enough of delays through Charlton Kings caused by crucial work on the A40 at Spring Bridge. I asked the Transport Secretary whether there’s help for councils that discover big problems during this work and if she would join me in asking for one lane to be reopened ASAP.

The damage caused by Brexit was never going to be confined to one area of policy. It’s now clear that potential defence investment is being hobbled by the failed Brexit deal. For the sake of our economy and our security, we badly need a much more urgent approach to reintegration with the EU.

I’ve been speaking up for local maternity services since before I was elected as Cheltenham’s MP. Today, I asked the Prime Minister for reassurance that a temporary downgrade of the Aveta Birth Centre in 2022 under a Conservative government will not become permanent under Labour. 1/2

The government promised to hand power back to communities. But their current approach to devolution involves scrapping local councils like Cheltenham and placing power in the hands of regional mayors who will be more distant from communities. 1/2

She chickened out of answering the question and passed it to her junior minister instead. Are you convinced by his answer? 2/2

🏇 Race week brings huge investment to Cheltenham and sustains a lot of our local businesses. But it also presents challenges. I have been working for years to clean up bad behaviour by a minority of racegoers. My message to racegoers this week - have fun, spend money, and please respect our town.

There was no ambition in the budget to end the free ride for big gas. And not only will the beer excise continue to raise more than the PRRT, the gap between them is growing! @grogsgamut.bsky.social @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social #auspol #Budget2026

Melo on Wemby and he is telling the truth about him

Praising a communist foe is insane. NOW: President Trump calls Chinese President Xi Jinping a "great leader." "Sometimes people don't like me saying it, but I say it anyway, because it's true — I always say the truth."

When the boss says to 'Have a great day', I take it literally and focus on recharging when needed. 🦦✨ Sometimes stepping away to reclaim my peace of mind is the most productive move. The playful otter on my laptop reminds me to stay positive. Where is your 'happy place' when you need to reset? 💻🏠

PREACH! Long overdue for the Animation Age Ghetto to be ended and for the Academy to respect artistry for artistry's sake irrespective of medium. They give Oscars to films that are 90% CGI over green screen but reject CG Animation.

People obsess over formations far too much. Football isn’t won because you wrote “4-3-3” on a team sheet. A formation is a reference point. It’s something I delve into much deeper in my book. Keep your eyes peeled! #FootballTactics #Tactics #lfc #ynwa #anfield
