6 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasured“🗣️ In Parliament recently, I highlighted the potential to expand Horsham Hospital into a neighbourhood health hub to help address the lack of a general hospital in our area.

22 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Should there be a general election now? It’s not even two years since Labour swept to a massive majority in 2024. The scale of their win was hugely exaggerated by our flawed first past the post voting system, which we desperately need to change.”↗
22 Jun 2026Cost of Livingmeasured“What we need is someone ready to tackle the cost-of-living crisis with a bold new deal with Europe. Someone who can fix social care, restore faith in our NHS, and put our economy back on an even keel. The very last thing we need is more political infighting.”↗
22 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentsarcastic“Today's inevitable resignation of Keir Starmer means we’ll soon be welcoming our seventh Prime Minister in just 10 years. Who can have any confidence that the next one will last any longer?”↗
