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
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.
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
Whilst we wait for the Government's Defence Investment Plan, innovations continue from our Ukrainian allies at pace. After this week's news, the Government needs to wake up to the new realities, and urgently commit to a timeline for the Defence Investment Plan #Parliament #MoD
This morning, I featured in the Sky News piece: Is Britain ungovernable? My answer. No. Here's why I'm certain of that. Even now. 📺 Sky News #Somerset #Devon #MP #SkyNews #Parliament
Last week during parliamentary recess I was in Malawi with the charity Results UK, looking at the education of young children and learning about farming out there too. So much that stayed with me, and plenty to bring home. 📚🚜
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.
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.

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.
Trump's approval rating from Republican-leaning independents is collapsing. Harry Enten: Just 53% of independents who lean Republican now approve of the president... that is a 38-point drop from where he was in the 2024 election.

With the nationwide Strychnine ban set to return in 2027, farms and ranchers in parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan are facing down devastating damage to crops, pastures, and equipment. Is there a better, chemical-free solution? And how will agricultural stability and food security be affected?
Avi Lewis: "The separation movement in Alberta has no point of comparison with the historic sovereignty movement in Quebec. This is a MAGA aligned, potentially funded, disruptive movement that has been really thrown into national prominence by Danielle Smith."

Without the Delta Blues, there is no Gospel music. Ryan Coogler is a brilliant artist who feels the truth of the Psalm that says, “The stone the builder rejected / has become the chief cornerstone.” His new film is called Sinners, but it’s got a lot of Gospel in it.
