17 Jun 2026Utilities & Watercelebratory“She raised serious concerns that the proposed recapitalisation does not adequately protect customers or the environment, relies on excessive regulatory concessions, and could leave consumers bearing unfair costs in the future. This is one step closer to nationalisation”↗
17 Jun 2026Utilities & Watercelebratory“As one of the MPs who signed the open letter urging Ofwat and Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds to reject Thames Water’s creditors’ proposal, I welcome the Minister’s announcement in Parliament yesterday that she has formally objected to the deal.”↗
16 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)celebratory“Fantastic to meet with Martyn of Prevtech, a family run precision engineering company that is growing and will be moving to Swindon to support that growth. They're working on some exciting projects and also looking to support the Drone Hub.”↗
15 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)celebratory“With Swindon’s proud automotive heritage, we have the exact transferable skills needed to do the same here, and that’s why I am convinced the launch of the USC will be transformational for our town, attracting companies. I am looking forward to welcoming Helsing into the Swindon ecosystem.”↗
15 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“While the software for these drones is engineered in the UK, the drones are currently built in Germany—where more than 80% of the factory workforce transitioned from the automotive sector.”↗
15 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“As a former soldier, I know how fast the battlefield is changing. In this video, you can see how this technology works:  - The onboard AI identifies the target - The operator confirms it with a red box, ensuring a human is always in the loop. - AI takes over & the strike is successfully completed.”↗
15 Jun 2026Defence & Securitycelebratory“Great to catch up with the Helsing team at the new Uncrewed Systems Centre and watch a live strike of their HX2 drone on Salisbury Plain.”↗
15 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“It was great to meet with Jon Williams, CEO and Founder of Allied. We discussed how the UK and Europe can credibly deter their adversaries by building a highly adaptive and scalable industrial base that keeps pace with the rate of battlefield innovation.”↗
12 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)celebratory“ I'm really pleased that we've been able to avoid more warehousing in the town and through my direct involvement with industry build upon our proud industrial heritage in Spitfires, rail infrastructure and car production, to bring in a new era for Swindon.”↗

12 Jun 2026Defence & Securitycelebratory“🚨 Brilliant to confirm the new MOD Drone Testing Facility in Swindon🚨 It was a fantastic opportunity for SMEs to speak to the Secretary of Defence about their work and the importance of Swindon in the world of unmanned systems.”↗
12 Jun 2026Defence & Securitycelebratory“🚨 Brilliant to confirm the new MOD Drone Testing Facility in Swindon🚨 I was joined by the new Secretary of Defence, Dan Jarvis, on his first ever visit in the role. This showcases the work I've undertaken to turn Swindon into the Drone Hub of the UK.”↗
12 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)celebratory“These types of announcements don't come together overnight; it has taken a substantial amount of effort to get this across the line. I want to say a massive thank you to those who have made this possible, especially Brigadier Stu Nasse, former Minister Al Carns, SBC officers and Panattoni”↗
12 Jun 2026Defence & Securitycelebratory“It is going to be a world leading defence testing facility that will boost employment across Swindon. After getting elected I made it clear that getting defence investment in Panattoni was a priority. It is amazing to be able to deliver on that commitment!”↗

It was great to chat about the uses for drones beyond the military and how I can support the civilian aviation sector.”↗
11 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“On leasehold reform, the goal is simple: make commonhold the default and phase out leasehold for good. This would mean easier conversion to commonhold, ground rent capped at £250, moving toward peppercorn rents, and tougher rules on managing agents with proper transparency on service charges.”↗
11 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“Families on new-build estates are paying hundreds of pounds on top of council tax to private management companies for unmaintained roads and broken pavements. That's not acceptable. Government consultations on unadopted estates closed in March, and I'll be pushing for real change.”↗
11 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“Housing reform is firmly on this Government's agenda, and it can't come soon enough. The Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill is a big deal, and I know from talking to residents that this hits close to home for many of you in Swindon North.”↗
10 Jun 2026Utilities & Watermeasured“I will keep pushing. If you have concerns about your water bill or local water quality, please do get in touch. I also want to highlight an important point: if your annual water bill is more than 5% of your net income, you may be entitled to financial support. www.thameswater.co.uk/help/account...”↗
10 Jun 2026Utilities & Watermeasured“I raised the very real pressure that water costs are placing on household budgets. This Government has already introduced new measures to make water companies more transparent, but transparency is only the start. Residents deserve to see real action and real value for the money they pay.”↗
10 Jun 2026Utilities & Watermeasured“This week, I took part in an important scrutiny meeting to hold Thames Water to account on behalf of residents of Swindon North. I raised the concerns that so many of you have been sharing with me: rising bills, poor infrastructure and investment returns, ongoing sewage and leak problems.”↗
10 Jun 2026Health & NHSmeasured“Yesterday, I asked the Minister for Health and Social Care about how the government is tackling the inequalities in healthcare access in Swindon.
