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.

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.

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

Funding for new schools-based nurseries will provide many young people with a great chance for the best start in life. It was brilliant to speak with Damian McBeath, the Principal of the John Wallis Academy will mean for their school and families in our community!

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.

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.

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 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, I followed up on corridor care at the William Harvey Hospital. There is more work to do, but I welcome the progress being made by the Government - including more doctors, more beds, and faster discharges nationwide - working towards ending corridor care by the end of this Parliament.

Good news for East Kent this week! the latest NHS figures show waiting lists have fallen by almost 9,000 since the election!

Trumps defense of this:

It's been nearly a year since I presented my Sunshine Bill to Parliament, gaining widespread cross-party and industry support. Ministers accepted the principle that solar panels come as standard on all new build homes. I asked Ministers when the government will follow through on their commitment.

Ja, das wäre wunderbar❣️

I have found that whenever there is a moral question about the behavior of the American government or the majority of white people who are Americans, there's usually a George Carlin clip which is applicable. America truly is the country of the double standard.

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.
