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

Hope you all had a lovely bank holiday weekend.☀️ 🎥 Here's what I got up to last week as your Member of Parliament, from a very sunny Devon County Show. If there's anything I can help with, get in touch with me and my team at: rachel.gilmour.mp@parliament.uk #Somerset #Devon #MP
Last week, I hosted a Westminster Hall debate on International Parental Child Abduction. This hits families in Tiverton and Minehead hard. Hundreds of children are taken from the UK by a parent every year, and the legal framework meant to bring them home is not working. #Parliament #MP
Back in September 2025, I raised the fact that reports were in the media, commenting on Peter Mandelson having failed his DV clearance checks. Today, I asked the PM why he and his team pressed ahead with the appointment anyway. What a pathetic answer.
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
Rural domestic abuse is underreported and under-addressed. Last week I asked the Minister what the Government is doing to tackle the unique pressures rural victims face, and called for a special committee to address the issue.
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
Last week at the Public Accounts Committee, I asked the CEO of Capita Public Services, Richard Holyroyd, whether, as former member of the Armed Services, he would fall on his sword, and take accountability for the systemic and total failures of the administration of the Civil Service Pension Scheme.
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
Last week in Parliament, I raised the case of Stevie from Willand, who met me at a surgery to talk about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and the lack of NHS support for suspected cranio-cervical instability (CCI). Her story moved me greatly, and it was a privilege to speak on her behalf in Parliament.

On Pete Hegseth: ..."There is a tradition where Defense Secretaries attempt to minimize their overtly partisan behavior, ....They try to, in the name of national security, act more as a nonpartisan actor, and Pete Hegseth has totally discarded that tradition."

Good morning, Happy bank holiday Monday. I'm left to my own devices as she is off to Edinburgh for 4 days, leaving me to dog and cat sit. It's certainly a hot one and I don't envy the drive up there as she's just left. I promised not to burn the house down. 😂 Have fun, be kind and love yourself 💚

Organized labor won us the weekend. It won us a 40-hour workweek. It won us time to live our lives for ourselves. Ever since then, corporations, billionaires, and their hired politicians have been trying to claw that time away from us. We're not going to let them. #MayDay #mepolitics
