On this page you can find my weekly column that I write for the Worthing Herald, with my reflections on the week's events in Westminster and in the constituency. I also film a video update from Westminster detailing the events of the week ahead, as well as reaction to any developments that have occured in the previous week.

Herald Column: June 20

On Saturday it was that time of year again for one of my favourite events of the constituency calendar – the Worthing Children’s Parade. This was the 12th parade and 12th time I have had the privilege to act as compere welcoming the schools as they processed into Steyne Gardens.

Weekly look ahead: 18th June

A marathon week ahead video from a fantastically busy week - ranging from my productive Extinction Rebellion meeting, Big Ben facts, the Worthing Children’s Parade (with special guest David Walliams) and the latest on the leadership race.

Herald Column: June 13

So, the Conservative Party leadership race finally kicked off formally this week, although to many it seems to have been going on for months already!

Weekly look ahead: 11th June

A rundown on the leadership race, a meeting with Extinction Rebellion and the Worthing Children's Parade all feature in my weekly video.

Herald Column: June 6

No, I still haven’t thrown my hat in the ring for the Conservative Party leadership though the Westminster hat seller must be running rather low on stocks as the tally of contenders reaches 13 at the time of writing and nominations don’t actually close until Monday.

Weekly look ahead: 4th June

In a week dominated by the Trump visit and the leadership race - my weekly video, where I discuss boat blessings, Shoreham Fort, climate change petitions and more.

Herald Column: May 30

So not a lot to report from Parliament in the last week then – just a Prime Ministerial resignation and a cataclysmic result for the main parties in the European elections that nobody really wanted to take place.

Weekly look ahead: 28th May

From a dark Chapel of St Mary Undercroft beneath Westminster Hall, my weekly video. This week, I talk about the European elections, a climate change petition, the leadership race (I'm not running), and more.

Herald Column: May 23rd

So far, I have yet to be deluged with the flood of complaints I was copied into from constituents last year when GTR and other train operators changed their timetables.
