Herald Column: February 13

With so much going on at Westminster again I try to cram as much into my constituency Fridays as possible and last Friday was no exception.

Weekly look ahead: 11th February

Giving my reaction to the HS2 announcement (and funding going into improving cycle routes), our Sussex Kelp forests, school funding, rail works and an update on ‘Make Britain Breakfast Again’ in my weekly video.

Herald Column: February 6

We are very lucky to have Worthing Homes in charge of our social housing in and around Worthing. As we were reminded during their 20th birthday celebrations last year, they are more than just a landlord and provide many other services to help improve the lives of local people and their families.

Weekly look ahead: 4th February

My first post-Brexit weekly video - discussing my meeting with Worthing Homes, e-scooters, Grove Lodge Roundabout finally being resurfaced, talking to WASPI women later this week and much more.

Herald Column: January 30

Thank you to all those who have already responded to my ‘Make Britain Breakfast Again’ idea.

Weekly look ahead: 28th January

I discuss Holocaust Memorial Day, tree-planting in Southwick and other Westminster and Constituency events in my weekly video. I also talk about my campaign - ‘Make Britain Breakfast Again’ - based on the divide between people that voted ‘Leave’ and people that voted ‘Remain’.

Herald Column: January 23

This week the Queen’s Speech passed through Parliament by a majority of 87 – very different from the defeats facing the Government before the election and now we can get our ambitious programme through Parliament. There is a rundown of the main measures in my constituency e-newsletter.

Weekly look ahead: 21st January

Discussing the RSPB #BigGardenBirdWatch event, Cllr Paul Mansfield’s sock donation campaign, parliamentary business and the reforming of APPGs (including the Mindfulness and 1950s State Pension Inequality for Women groups) in my weekly video.

Herald Column: January 16

Last Thursday the Brexit Bill passed its final stages in the House of Commons with a majority of 99 votes. In all my near 23 years in Parliament I have never been on the Government winning side by such a margin.

Weekly look ahead: 13th January

From Westminster Hall - my weekly video where I talk about works on the A259, discussions with all other West Sussex MPs, a meeting with Tom Willis from Shoreham Port and Tim Dapling from the IFCA, and a repeated plea for constituents to come and visit Parliament for a tour before we get evacuated!
