At Prime Minister's Questions today I called on Keir Starmer to provide clarity on the importance of local accountability in Government plans for healthcare and a GP surgery for Wixams in Mid Beds.

Parliament has now ended for summer recess, but that means I get to spend more time in Mid Beds meeting local people. It's been a busy first year in Westminster 👇

It's #HistoricCountyFlagsDay so where else to take our county flag than out into the beautiful Bedfordshire countryside? 🌳 Campaign for Historic Counties

Conservatives will build the homes families need, but we won’t concrete over every green field to do it.

If you can work, you should work. If you need support, you should get support. Before recess, I spoke in the House of Commons about how welfare spending is completely out of control and the Government has failed to fix it.

If you want young people to progress give them hope and opportunities not chances based on their postcode but their abilities and interests. Hire on potential and merit, give confidence and rounded support and always challenge accent bias !! Remember YOU starting off your

Whilst the Labour Govt remains entangled in the definition of ‘working people’, at the stroke of a pen it manages to define ‘working class’ and in doing so limit young people’s opportunities on the basis of their parent’s job. Make that make sense!

Today I've sent a cross-party letter to the Prime Minister co-signed by 98 MPs from 6 political parties. We are united in one message: Put victims and survivors at the heart of the national rape gangs inquiry. No justice without them.
