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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.

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

When a lawless bully tries to attack Colorado, I will fight back. I’ve sued the Trump administration 65 times, and we’re winning 36 times and counting. As Governor, I will always fight for Colorado and defend our principles. #Philforgovernor #COpolitics

I am inspired by the work of people like Ray Beck who have led the fight in supporting Coloradans in Western Colorado.  I have worked with communities in rural Colorado and I will continue that work and support all Coloradans.  #Philforgovernor #COpolitics
