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 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.
A huge thank you for all of your PMQ suggestions 🙏 Over the coming weeks and months I will be looking for opportunities to raise your issues in Parliament - watch this space!
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 🤞
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.
I'm deeply concerned that the EHRC guidance has let down the group of people most affected by these changes. Where is the concern for the human rights of Trans and non-binary people? I will continue to speak out in solidarity to ensure their rights and dignity are respected.
This week is #mentalhealthawarness Week. 💛 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
