Reflecting on yesterday's King's Speech. 💭 I will be digesting this over the next few days and am aiming to speak on the speech in Parliament on Monday. What did you think?

Ever wondered what an MP does? Join me for a day in the life as your MP, representing Dorset in Westminster.

School funding belongs in the classroom, not the boardroom. 📚 The unprecedented cuts at Corfe Hills and QE School are devastating. We need urgent reform to Multi-Academy Trust governance to ensure every penny of funding prioritises our students, not executive operations.

Local people now have less say in new housing developments. As of May 2026, the new Planning Infrastructure Act means that any application for 150 homes or more is no longer able to go to a local planning committee.

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.

✉️ I'm spending the morning tracking your post and speaking with staff to get a better understanding of the process, the challenges and a sense of morale. 📬️ I'm starting at the Dorset Mail Centre, then off to Wimborne Sorting Office and finally I'll be out with a postie.

So proud to have sponsored the powerful ‘This Is Menopause’ 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!

I firmly believe that the harm from the proposed Incinerator in Canford outweighs the benefit. Today I attended the public enquiry to speak on behalf of the community, and insisted that the appeal should be dismissed. Read my full statement here: www.vikkislade.uk/post/i-spoke...

Now that the Easter Break is over I wanted to bring you an update on the sale of Upton Heath. Please do sign the petition if you haven't already and share with you friends, family and community networks: www.vikkislade.uk Let's demonstrate the strength of local feeling for this special site.

Following on from my post yesterday, I wanted to update you all that we may have found a route to help protect Upton Heath through the Localism Act. I have written to the Council to ask them to urgently consider the land for sale as an Asset of Community Value. I will keep you updated 🤞

The Government announced in 2025 that they will introduce oracy frameworks for schools.🙌 To help you give your pupils the foundations, we have a range of tools and resources on our website>>https://bit.ly/4d6pGaa

Yesterday, I led my colleagues in Congress to take a stand for science. The NASA, NOAA, NIH, and NSF all contribute to our safety and security, through their work to cure deadly diseases, protect us from natural disasters, and ensure we remain competitive on the global stage.

Six years ago today: The nation tunes in to the daily White House COVID-19 briefing for information & guidance, and the president free-associates about curing it by injecting disinfectant or light or heat or something. The next day, he refuses to answer questions, and then cancels the briefings.
