17 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasuredEarlier this year, the government committed to reviewing and reforming this law, so I have written to them, alongside these three mothers, calling on them to make time for a second reading of Christopher’s law, which realises this commitment. 2/2
17 Jul 2026Health & NHSempatheticLast week, I presented Christopher’s Law to Parliament, which would tighten safeguards in the Mental Capacity Act, potentially saving countless lives. I spoke about three mothers. Each one has tragically lost a son due to failings in this Act. 1/2
15 Jul 2026EducationangryAppallingly we don’t even know how many avoidable child suicides there are because there is no national preventable death tracker. 3/3
15 Jul 2026EducationangryI have given the government evidence that potentially hundreds of SEND children are avoidably killing themselves due to public authority negligence and misconduct, including my constituent Jen Bridges-Chalkley aged 17. 2/3
15 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredYesterday I spoke during the debate of the Hillsborough Law, which would create a legal duty on public bodies to tell the truth. The government is finally listening to Hillsborough victim’s families. It is galling that there continues to be a conspiracy of silence on SEND misconduct. 1/3
15 Jul 2026Defence & SecurityempatheticI spoke to the BBC alongside Hannah’s family, calling on the government to do everything in their power to accelerate the investigation and help bring her family closure. 2/2
15 Jul 2026Crime & PolicingempatheticHannah Byrne tragically died three years ago whilst on holiday in Corfu. This week, an inquest was delayed for a sixth time, and the Greek authorities have still not concluded their investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death. 1/2
15 Jul 2026EducationmeasuredLooking forward to welcoming SEND parents/carers to our next coffee morning tomorrow between 10:00am - 11:30am. I will be joined by Ashley Tilling, the future Head of Children Services at East Surrey Council, and Caroline Joseph, the future Deputy Cabinet Member for SEND at East Surrey Council.
14 Jul 2026Defence & SecurityempatheticGreek authorities say they have sent two requests for Mutual Legal Assistance to the Home Office, but those women have never been interviewed. I will be meeting the government to help her family get the closure they so desperately need. 2/2
14 Jul 2026Crime & PolicingempatheticThree years ago, my 22-year old constituent Hannah Byrne, died on the first night of her holiday in Corfu. Two British women left the scene without being interviewed by police. 1/2
13 Jul 2026TransportmeasuredI hope that when Surrey County Council temporarily shut the junction for pavement improvements soon that the developer consortium put in appropriate safety measures. I have written repeatedly to the council, consortium and police but I will be writing to them yet again. 2/2
13 Jul 2026TransportempatheticSadly, there was another accident at the junction on Meath Green Lane last week - I hope those involved are okay. There is only a matter of time before a fatality and residents are terrified, like Lucy who I met by chance on Friday. 1/2
10 Jul 2026EducationcelebratoryI will be joined by Ashley Tilling, the future Head of Children Services at East Surrey Council, and Caroline Joseph, the future Deputy Cabinet Member for SEND at East Surrey Council. This is co-hosted with The Inclusive Learning Partnership. I look forward to seeing you all there. 2/2
10 Jul 2026EducationmeasuredOur next SEND parent/carer support coffee morning will be on Thursday the 16th of July at Dorking Christian Centre between 10:00am - 11:30am. 1/2
9 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasuredThis Law would create a duty assess capacity where it is in doubt, including where raised by family members - saving countless lives. 2/2
9 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasuredThis morning, BBC Surrey covered my proposal for Christopher's Law, named after Christopher Laskaris, who tragically lost his life in part due to failings in the Mental Capacity Act. 1/2 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article....
7 Jul 2026EducationmeasuredThe government must urgently reform the system to give graduates a fair start. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gy9lpylz9o 2/2
7 Jul 2026EducationmeasuredThe current student loan system is unfair. I’ve been part of the Treasury Select Committee inquiry, which found that the government mis-sold loans, likening them to paying back phone contracts and that students were not told that terms could change retrospectively. 1/2
6 Jul 2026Local GovernmentmeasuredRead more about what this means for Horley here: https://www.postofficeviews.co.uk/national-consultation-team/horley-rh6-7af-114940/.  They are looking for a replacement here: https://runapostoffice.co.uk/branch/horley-post-office-horley-rh6-7af?search_term=horley-surrey. 2/2
6 Jul 2026Local GovernmentmeasuredThe Post Office are consulting on the closure of Horley Post Office in October. Please contact comments@postoffice.co.uk to share your views. I am also looking to meet with the Post Office soon to help find a permanent, accessible solution. 1/2
6 Jul 2026EducationangryI have written again to the Ed Sec. Further inaction risks the government being complicit. 4/4
6 Jul 2026EducationangryI expect further sickening revelations in the national media in the coming months. It is now morally indefensible for the government to proceed with reducing children’s legal protections in favour of these local authorities. 3/4
6 Jul 2026EducationangryTo my knowledge no one has been fired or held accountable. I have also given her evidence of an epidemic of avoidable SEND child suicide caused by public authority negligence, including by some of these same local authorities. 2/4
6 Jul 2026EducationangryThe Education Secretary has described the sickening revelations from a SEND local authority whistleblower broadcast by ITV as “completely unacceptable”. Yet I have supplied her with similar evidence of widespread local authority misconduct, some possibly criminal, for over a year. 1/4
5 Jul 2026Culture & CommunitymeasuredThere is also an in person drop-in event on the 11th of July: https://horleytownpark.commonplace.is/en-GB/proposals/v3/engagement-results-what-you-told-us?step=step1 . 2/2
5 Jul 2026Culture & CommunitymeasuredReigate and Borough Council are consulting on Horley's new town park at Tanyard Meadows. They want to hear resident’s views after the early-stage design about what you would like to be included. The consultation closes on the 12th of July here: https://horleytownpark.commonplace.is/. 1/2
3 Jul 2026Economy & Jobs (General)empatheticIt’s incredibly sad to hear about Coughlans Bakery closing, because of rising national insurance contributions and business rates. The government needs to do more for local businesses in the face of soaring costs.

3 Jul 2026Educationangry...in favour of local authorities in the face of industrial levels of misconduct. We potentially have an epidemic of avoidable child suicide because local authorities are knowingly breaking the law and denying families support. 4/5
3 Jul 2026EducationangryThis corroborates some of over 1200 family testimonies that I have received related to council misconduct across 134 local authorities. It is staggering that the government is seeking to reduce children’s legal SEND rights... 3/5
