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.

It was fantastic to attend the Civic Thanksgiving Service a week ago today. A wonderful celebration of community spirit that brings together councillors, volunteers, organisations and residents from across Dorset.

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!

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.

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.

The horrendous words of Ben-Gvir - Israel's National Security Minister - must not be condoned by this government. The time has come for a full ban on all arms to Israel.

Recess was a jam-packed whirlwind 🌪️ It was great to be out and about across the constituency and I'm now looking forward to continue championing the issues that are important to the people of Mid Dorset & North Poole back up in Parliament 🏆️

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.

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 🤞

Huge good luck to everyone doing their SATS, A Levels or GCSEs this week! It can be a tough time, but as long as you try your best, then whatever the outcome you can be proud. 📚

HE WAS RIGHT IS THE TRUMP REGIME😳🤬

Great work from Joe to set up his man before sprinting off the double stagger DHO.

Today, #Ukraine commemorates the #Chornobyl catastrophe. In April 1986, any mention of the disaster was quickly suppressed by Moscow. People paid with their lives for the delayed response. In february 2025, a russian drone struck the anti-radiation shield over the reactor unit 4. 📹

Instead of wasting millions in taxpayer dollars on politically motivated prosecutions against Trump's enemies, the Justice Department should focus on keeping Americans safe. This is more of President Trump's chaos, cruelty and rising costs for Americans.

Very nice evening outside!

The Conservatives and Reform backed Trump’s idiotic war in Iran. Since then, it’s dragged down the economy, driven up inflation, and now the US is openly questioning British sovereignty over the Falklands. This is what sucking up to Donald Trump gets you.
