🏡 Housing targets matter, but in rural communities like ours, it’s not just about hitting numbers. It’s about building the right homes, in the right places, in a way that protects the character, infrastructure, and sustainability of our villages for generations to come.

This week I visited RAF Fairford to see for myself what is happening on the ground.

I spoke in Parliament yesterday on the new Buses Bill, highlighting how vital reliable, affordable public transport is for our communities. From helping young people get to college to reducing rural isolation and cutting emissions, local bus services are a lifeline. 🚌

With Rachel Reeves announcing free bus travel for children 5-15, and a Guardian article this week highlighting how people without cars can struggle to make basic trips for food in the constituency, I know how hard it can be to get where you want.

🌿 The Thames Path starts here in South Cotswolds — a beautiful walking route & vital wildlife corridor. I pressed the Nature Minister on funding for biodiversity 🌱 and resilience against flooding 🌧️. She agreed to take my suggestion back to DEFRA. 💚 #SouthCotswolds #Nature #Thames

I spoke about the changing state of our high streets on Politics Weat this weekend. The community and local identity they offer us, especially in a constituency as rural as ours, has to be protected and promoted. Otherwise, we risk sleep walking into a world boarded up windows and fewer local jobs

As I learned rowing solo across oceans, survival depends on protecting your vessel & resources. Ukraine is no different. Sovereignty isn’t just borders - it’s fertile soils, minerals, energy. No agreement about Ukraine should be made without Ukraine at the table. 🇺🇦

Happy International Women’s Day! 💜 Since becoming MP for the South Cotswolds, I’ve met so many incredible women whose resilience and dedication inspire me. And a special thanks to the brilliant women in my team - your hard work makes such a difference! #IWD2025 #InternationalWomensDay
