This is a welcome commitment to make the fundamental changes needed. I’ve long been calling for the UK’s withdraw from the ECHR as the only certain way to control our border and deport foreign criminals. https://t.co/QmEVMasyue

There have been real concerns about the use of Asylum Support Enablement Cards and the public have a right to know exactly how often taxpayers’ money is being sent to them. But the Home Office has refused to answer my questions 👇 https://t.co/VIpfi7uLfd

Incredibly positive news that Martha's rule is to be rolled out further, following the pilot started by the previous government. This is already saving lives, and will continue to do so long into the future. https://t.co/G8MdTbiqZn

Hundreds of patients have been helped by rule, which makes it easier to get an urgent second opinion.

🗣️ I warned about the reality of a Labour government on farming - from IHT to taking land out of food production. 🥀 Now Labour are actually pursuing their anti-farming policies in office, it is clear that rural communities won’t forgive them.

📈Inflation has increased again and is now at an 18-month high (3.8%) which means increasing pressure on household finances. 🥀This is a result of Labour's decision to put up taxes whilst increasing our debt and deficit. ❗And their only plan seems to be to put up taxes again.

Remember visiting with you and agreeing the funding following your strong local campaign @louie_french. Good to see the diagnostic centre now open.

I'm delighted to announce that the new Community Diagnostic Centre at Queen Mary's Hospital has opened. Thanks to a £9.6 million investment from the previous Conservative government, patients can now access more life-saving tests right here in Sidcup. But there's more to do.

🧬 There is a win-win for farming and nature in supporting gene editing. Read my column in the @FarmersGuardian on why sacrificing UK progress in this area during negotiations with the EU would be a major mistake from Labour 👇 https://t.co/kMXWQ9yWqr

This Labour government has pulled funding for Ely junction upgrade which would deliver better passenger and freight services. This is a key project delivering £5 of benefits for every £1 invested. And they claim growth is the priority 🤷

Gene editing is a Brexit benefit. It can boost growth, support food production, and protect the environment - with disease and drought resistant crops. To sacrifice this as part of UK-EU reset negotiations would be a serious mistake which is why I secured a debate on the issue.

Today DHSC admitted that they couldn't provide the numbers for further healthcare demand on which they based their "10 Year Health Plan" within the required time. Are they trying to avoid scrutiny, or do they simply not know the numbers on which their own plan is based?

Yesterday at the Liaison Committee the Prime Minister dismissed my concerns regarding high levels of borrowing. Yet today’s figures show the clear trend. It follows May’s borrowing of £17.7bn, the highest on record other than May 2020 during the peak of Covid.

Public sector net borrowing excluding public sector banks was £20.7 billion in June 2025. This was £6.6 billion more than in June 2024 and the second-highest June borrowing since monthly records began in 1993, behind that of June 2020. Read more ➡️ https://t.co/WBro41C2I8

Sir Stephen Timms is a decent man but he cannot hide the complete shambles this Bill has become. He has just said in the Chamber he cannot even confirm what the savings, if any, will be from the Bill. His own backbenchers shaking their heads.

The government has effectively abandoned its flagship welfare reform - the overhaul of PIP disability benefits - entirely After so much political pain, all the arguments that this was a moral and economic necessity, it's gone. Just like that The only conclusion you can reach is
