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.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.
