@vikkislademp
I was delighted to be able to host a debate in Parliament last week to raise the experience that many of my constituents have faced. Too many have faced extreme delays due to an antiquated service in which their cases have simply stalled. The DVLA is not a functioning public service.

How wonderful to welcome Sir Ed Davey to Upton Heath yesterday to celebrate the power of community. Alongside Dorset Wildlife Trust, it was the community that came together to secure the section of Upton Heath that was up for sale and ensure that it is protected for future generations.
Project Welcome is a brilliant local campaign raising money to repair and modernise St Mary's in Sturminster Marshall. Today in Parliament I asked if, upon the closure of the Listed Place of Worship grant scheme, projects already underway will still be eligible for the renewal scheme.
Last week I met with Darryl, Steve, Terry & Scott to hear their concerns that Holt FC is to be sold. This week I raised this issue in Parliament - community groups can't compete with private buyers. I welcome the Government's commitment for the need for an independent valuation.
This week is #mentalhealthawarness Week. ๐ The theme for this year is 'action'. Raising awareness is vital, but real change comes when we take action too. We need action in our NHS, schools, prisons and housing services to better support people when they need it. #mhaw @mentalhealthfoundation
So proud to have sponsored the powerful โThis Is Menopauseโ exhibition in Parliament. Created by local artist Pauline Ferrick-Squibb in collaboration with 55 other women, this exhibition calls for better menopause experiences for all. Huge thanks to AUB and UKRI for funding this art!
Today I spoke in Parliament to congratulate Dorset Wildlife Trust and local people on their incredible efforts to secure Upton Heath. I asked the Prime Minister to demonstrate his commitment to nature and to legislate to extinguish historic planning consents.

I spent 10 hours on shift with crews from the South Western Ambulance Service and was blown away by their professionalism and compassion. Under huge pressure, they deliver expert care with calm reassurance. We must back our frontline teams.

A huge thank you for all of your PMQ suggestions ๐ Over the coming weeks and months I will be looking for opportunities to raise your issues in Parliament - watch this space!

Hegseth was caught lying about destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities Hegseth: Iranโs nuclear facilities have beenย obliterated. Smith: You said we had to start this war because the nuclear weapon was an imminent threat. Now youโre saying it was completely obliterated?
Iโve been warning for a decade: Brexit would wreck our food resilience. Experts like Tim Lang and Prof Chris Elliott said the same - all ignored. Now Trumpโs actions in Iran mean every farmer can see whatโs coming. The govt is totally unprepared, out of touch, and cloth-eared and it is scary.

"Previously to this, Larian could have this reputation as a writing first, narrative first studio in an industry that frequently treats those disciplines as afterthoughts. Being a studio that makes gamesโor RPGsโthe 'right way.' And then you do something that doesn't comport with that image."
