14 May 2026Economy & Jobs (General)celebratory“And cutting the regulatory burden on small businesses by 25%? That's not deregulation for the corporations: that's freeing up the independent traders, small manufacturers and local employers who are the backbone of communities like Swindon.”↗
14 May 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“Espionage and interference aren't abstract threats; they undermine working people's security and sovereignty. I'll be fighting to make this legislation genuinely robust, not watered down.”↗
14 May 2026Defence & Securitycelebratory“The King's Speech showed a Government that is ready to stand up to the powerful interests that have held this country back for too long. A new Bill to confront hostile foreign states meddling in our democracy is long overdue.”↗

13 May 2026Transportcelebratory“Last year I pressed the government to open up daily travel between Swindon and Oxford. I am delighted that this will happen. I want to say a massive thank you to my South Swindon counterpart Heidi Alexander, Secretary of State for Transport for her work on this.”↗

12 May 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“This matters. Synthetic fuel has the potential to decarbonise UK industry, cut energy costs, and strengthen our energy security, something that feels especially urgent given the current situation in Iran. The expanded plant would also bring 200 new jobs to the area.”↗
12 May 2026Economy & Jobs (General)celebratory“Great to meet Harvey Hodd from Rivan Industries, a genuinely exciting company producing synthetic fuel from solar energy with sites in Wroughton and Blunsdon.

30 Apr 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“I wanted to share some of my recent speech on the building of Swindon's drone hub given the stark realities of the world we live in. I know it can be scary and that's why I'm building this hub, so that the UK can provide high skilled jobs that protect us here at home.”↗
29 Apr 2026Housing & Planningcelebratory“Tenants will now need to have lived in their home for 10 years before becoming eligible to buy. Combined with new measures to accelerate the delivery of social homes, this will give councils a real opportunity to protect & rebuild their housing stock after years of underinvestment.”↗
