I have written to KCC and spoken to its leader about the Ashford Household Waste and Recycling Centre - closed since February. This is causing frustration, especially over bank holidays, and contributing to fly-tipping. I will continue to press KCC to reopen the facility.

Last week, at the Bring Back the Magic event, marking 30 years since international services began at Ashford, I spoke with Michael Keohan about the progress we’ve made, the support from the Government, and the work still to do to bring services back to Kent.

The events in the Middle East are deeply concerning. Today I asked the Prime Minister about the wider implications of Iran’s destabilisation of the region — for our national security and for the cost of living at home due to potential rises in oil prices.

Today the Government launched their 10 Year Health Plan to make the NHS Fit For the Future. I asked, @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social how opening up talking therapies through the NHS app will improve mental health services and ensure patients can access timely treatment.

A positive meeting with Stagecoach Buses this morning on improving bus services across Ashford, Hawkinge, and the Villages. Good transport links, especially in rural areas, is key to breaking down the barriers to opportunity, and I’ll keep prioritising this as your MP.

It was a pleasure to speak in today’s King’s Speech debate on the great work this Labour Government has done to deliver positive change over the past 22 months, and on how we must continue to go further and faster to build upon it.

Today in Cabinet Questions, I asked the Minister, how the Government’s new agreement with the EU would find solutions to the post-Brexit uncertainties in our constituency, such as Operation Brock.

Here’s a message from the Early Education Minister, Olivia Bailey MP about Beaver Green Primary’s new Best Start school-based nursery — helping parents in Ashford with the cost of living and making it easier to balance work and family life. beststartinlife.gov.uk

Today, ahead of Kent Fire and Rescue Service’s consultation, I asked the Leader of the House what steps the Government is taking to protect fire services serving rural communities.

Quality transport is key to unlocking growth. Yesterday I spoke about restoring international rail services to #Ashford and using Labour’s record funding to fix roads and improve local transport networks — including rural areas like #Hawkinge — to create economic opportunities.

It's universally accepted Libya was a disaster, and that the best thing would have been the status quo. This ignores the path not taken, had the Obama admin not back to the coup in Egypt. A strong democratic Egypt would have had a stabilizing effect on neighbours like Libya (and Palestine).

Speaking as a historian my opinion is that subjugation of people’s is achieved through war & authoritarianism. Those are the tools historically employed by our rulers. But now they’re killing everything & destroying the planet to boot. The answer isn’t to carry on regardless therein lies extinction!
