I have been on site at Huntingdon Station since 2110hrs liaising with emergency services and news media following the Major Incident. Shortly after 12am this morning I met with the Chief Constable of Cambridgeshire Constabulary, Simon Megicks, at Huntingdon Police Station
I am aware of the incident and am trying to establish further information. My thoughts are with the victims and those involved.

This week the Ministry of Defence formally announced Project FAIRFAX at the Defence in Huntingdonshire event I hosted in Parliament. This event was the culmination of more than six months of hard work, meetings, conversations, discussions and lobbying. By now youāll no doubt

This attitude, from a GP, highlights the challenge men face in getting a prostate cancer test. My age, ethnicity and family history of the disease puts me firmly in the high risk category, hence I get an annual prostate cancer check. If Jamie were my GP heād refuse to test me.
@BenObeseJecty Ben, there isnāt an āannual prostate checkā for asymptomatic men and you shouldnāt be promoting this as an MP as it is harmful. PSA has not been demonstrated to be useful for screening purposes hence why there is no national screening programme.

Calling to ābring back three-wheelers for disabled driversā and punching down shows that @LeeAndersonMP_ clearly has no idea what life is actually like for wheelchair users. The fact that heās Reformās spokesperson on the issue shows just how shallow their talent pool is.

I got my annual prostate cancer check the other day. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Britain. I back a national prostate cancer screening programme. If youāre a middle-aged man, Black or Asian or have a family history of the disease you must get yourself checked.

Border Security and Asylum Minister Alex Norris has just confirmed in the House of Commons that Hadush Kebatu was paid a Ā£500 bung to leave the UK after he threatened to disrupt his deportation flight. This country has been made a mockery of at every step of this sorry episode.

āJobs should be based on meritā
This is a white Christian Anglo Saxon country. Jobs should be based on merit and adverts should reflect our heritage rather than pander to black lives matter nonsense. Most people are fair minded but prioritising ethnic minorities over the local white population & treating white

Whilst Reform deals with the fall out of Sarah Pochin stating that the sight of Black and Asian people or ābasically anyone other than whiteā in adverts makes her mad, a Reform councillor has been expelled for making an online threat to kill Keir Starmer. Nigel Farage thinks he

It is a disgrace that this Government cannot even detain a convicted sex attacker who is already in custody. The migrant who sparked weeks of protests in Epping is now on the run. Even after his demotion to Justice Secretary David Lammy is still over-promoted.

This week the Labour Government voted against my amendment that would have seen those convicted of causing death by dangerous or careless driving receive a lifetime driving ban. Evan Forde killed 22-year old Maria Carolina Do Nascimento after crashing into her, having hit speeds

āWhat action did the Attorney General take once he had been informed of the potential collapse of the China spying trial?ā An answer came there none from the Solicitor General about Lord Hermerās actions, or lack thereof. Imagine being the less talented of the Reeves sisters.

Labour voted against introducing a lifetime driving ban for drivers who kill. My amendment to the Sentencing Bill, New Clause 6, would have seen an automatic lifetime driving ban for those convicted of causing death by dangerous or careless driving. Labour defeated it 167-330.
Lifetime driving bans for drivers who kill. Iāve tabled this amendment to the Sentencing Bill, to be debated on Tuesday, that would mean those who cause death by careless or dangerous driving would receive lifetime driving bans; a penalty that isnāt currently the case. To be

The fact that the Labourās much vaunted āOne-Out, One-Inā migrant exchange programme can be most succinctly summarised with a Simpsons meme tells you all everything you need to know about this Government. The new Home Secretary is even more lamentable than the last one.
