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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

"Do not film Ukrainian attacks or post them," Russian authorities said. Seems like these employees are enjoying it? Today, Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck the Yaroslavl-3 oil pumping station near Semibratovo in Russia’s Yaroslavl region. Yesterday, the […] [Original post on mstdn.social]
