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 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.
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
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

Across Tiverton and Minehead, only 30% of premises have full fibre - that's just 2,500 businesses - meaning many residents are still missing out on the benefits. Check the link here (openreach.com/fibre-checker) to see what fibre options are available at your address!

There's a recruitment and retention crisis in our armed forces, and I'm yet to see a serious plan from this Government to deal with it. Yesterday I challenged the Minister on exactly that during the Armed Forces Bill debate. 👇 #Somerset #Devon #ArmedForces #MP #Parliament
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
Since November, my team and I have been working behind the scenes to try to convince the Somerset NHS, and the Government, to make the temporary MRI and CT Scanners at Minehead Hospital permanent. We've raised it with the Minister, and the Chair, but to no avail - there 'isn't enough demand'. 1/

If Oversight Republicans actually cared about protecting tax dollars, they’d be outraged that those dollars are funding assaults on American citizens in our streets. Instead, they’re more focused on protecting pedophiles and shielding powerful people from accountability.
