I spoke with Adam Dowling on BBC Radio Kent about the cost of deploying Operation Brock. It’s vital in emergencies, but it’s too often used as a precaution, at significant expense. I’ll keep working with the Government and any relevant agencies to find a permanent alternative.

Earlier this week, I joined 60 other Labour MPs in backing tighter restrictions on social media for teenagers. I spoke with BBC South East to welcome the Government’s consultation and outline the need for a national conversation that includes young people.

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.

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.

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.

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

Like many of my constituents, I have lost faith in South East Water. Today I raised the recent shortages, caused by the company’s underinvestment, and asked what the Government can do to ensure it maintains a basic standard of service, especially during periods of high demand.

The Labour Government has delivered: - £13m for East Kent Hospitals -Free school meals for another 4,970 kids in Ashford - £78.2m for Kent buses - £54m for Kent road maintenance. (Just to name a few achievements!) Only possible because of Keir Starmer’s mandate. Credit: Dom King BBC Radio Kent

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.

Since entering Parliament, I’ve worked to strengthen protections for young people from the harms of social media. During my time in the NHS, I saw the impact on mental health and will continue to support efforts to improve safeguards, including the Government’s consultation, which is very welcome.

Hannah Spencer’s victory in Gorton and Denton was such an extraordinary moment — I was in tears when the result was announced. Zack Polanski’s leadership is bringing real energy and momentum to the Greens, and I’m confident we’ll see that reflected in the upcoming local elections.

I wish they knew where the farmer lives that feeds the Orange Pig With a Wig. I suppose that's against the rules of war though... (unless you are the Orange Pig With a Wig). Sigh. Apologies to real Pigs all over the world - it's extremely insulting to you all.

A Massachusetts McDonald’s manager is accused of licking fries, spitting in the container, and sending the order out through the drive-thru. Police say the customer was her ex-girlfriend, who reportedly ate the food before seeing the video online. That is not messy drama. That is food tampering.

Erin bent herself into pretzels to come up with her ridiculously horrible opinion that Steyer would be better for LGBTQ+ than Becerra because she liked Steyer’s sound bite. It’s one of most disingenuous opinion pieces I’ve read, besides @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social bs re Steyer on climate.

They say you can’t change the past and for a long time, that felt like a failure. The truth is: you can’t rewrite your history because those chapters are exactly what built the person standing here today. Every mistake, every detour, and every 'what if' is the architecture of your strength #gr3tetag
