On the Public Accounts Committee, we often hear incredibly long answers when a short one in plain English will suffice. Yesterday was emphatically one of those occasions when we w...

The King's Speech included some encouraging words. But after months of turbulence and a Government that can't get out of its own way, there's no guarantee that any of what's been planned will ever become a reality. It's time for Sir Keir Starmer to step aside. #Devon #Somerset #MP #KingsSpeech
Earlier today, I was in Watchet, talking about what this news means for B3191, and how the Council and I can continue to make the case for this road to be rebuilt. All eyes on the Govt now - it's time to act! (Bit windy this morning.... so apologies for the sound!) #Somerset
This morning I led a debate on the future of community pharmacies. I know how much community pharmacies matter, especially in a rural area like ours. They are often the most accessible part of the NHS, and for many people, they are the first place they turn when something is wrong. #Somerset #Devon
New week, new video 🎥 Thank you for all your kind comments on last week's video. With Parliament in prorogation, I’m able to spend more time here in the constituency. It’s always important to get out and about, and meet as many of you as possible. #Somerset #Devon #MP
Two-thirds of jobs in West Somerset depend on the visitor economy. Cathy in Porlock has seen her takings halve in a year. Paul, an antique dealer 10 miles inland in Dulverton, is down 70%. When the coast goes quiet, the whole area feels it.
Poland has repeatedly ignored return orders. Two international courts have now ruled against them for it. I made it clear to the Government that polite conversations with Warsaw are no longer good enough. British children deserve better! Full speech: y2u.be/3JFyyEDKckw #Somerset #Devon

Weekly Roundup 🎥 A change of scenery this week. Filming this from my Westminster office. With Parliament back open it's been a busy week, the King's Speech, a new APPG, and a packed few days in the constituency too. 🎬 #Somerset #Devon #MP #KingsSpeech
Yesterday, I intervened in the Backing Business to Create Economic Growth debate to make the case for rural transport in Tiverton and Minehead. 🚍️ Rural areas have been looked past by Government after Government, and my constituents deserve better. #Somerset #Devon #MP #Parliament
Just before Recess, I was privileged to speak on behalf of the Gurkha community, in a debate called by my Honourable and Gallant Friend, Cameron Thomas MP. Take a look at some of my speech below! (Find the full version here - parliamentlive.tv/event/index/...) #Parliament #Gurkhas

This week’s startup news felt pretty clear: capital is still there, but it is chasing startups that remove real operational pain. The setbacks came from weak trust, weak distribution, or weak execution. SparkLaunch Founder Briefing has the breakdown. #StartupNews #Founders #Fundraising #SparkLaunch

"Frankly, I think it's going to lead to worse outcomes for the most vulnerable of our veterans." - @ramirez.house.gov Forcing veterans into guardianships isn't the solution. We must instead ensure veterans have access to the treatment, housing, and services they deserve.
Until we address the imbalance of power at the heart of our system, we will continue to treat the symptoms of a crisis we are structurally unable to solve. A sustainable future is still possible. But only if we build the sustained movement required to achieve it.
Being “the strong one” can become a lonely identity. If everyone relies on you, people may stop noticing when you need support too.

Calame is like a French take on classic SRPGs like Fire Emblem~ This SRPG mixes grid-based combat with a clever idea: rewriting reality itself during battle. Lead a rebellion against a tyrannical ruler that uses the "Calame" magic which turns written word and public belief into reality~

Jam79922967: 北京航空航天大学那位耿同学之所以高调打假,一个重要背景在于:他与导师关系破裂,博士毕业无望。很多人把这种行为简单理解为“正义感爆棚”,其实未必这么单纯。某种意义上,这更像是一种“退出科研体系之后的反向报复”。方舟子的情况,本质上也有类似逻辑。如果一个人在科研圈已经混不下去——既拿不到像
