I will continue fighting hard for farmers across our area.
You are the life and soul of our rural communities, putting food on the table and playing a vital role in national food security and are the backbone of South East Cornwall's rural economy.

The Autumn Budget showed that the Government is taking steps to support Cornwall.
The Chancellor announced lower business rates for 21,290 eligible retail, hospitality, and leisure properties across Cornwall, a move that will help ease pressure on businesses and protect jobs.

Cornwall has so much industrial potential, from critical minerals to renewable energy.
It is great that the Government recognises the skills and resources we hold and is investing £30 million in our Cornish industry through the Kernow Industrial Growth Fund.

Cornwall powered Britain's last industrial revolution and now we have the chance to help drive the next green one.

As a member of the Labour Rural Research Group, I’m working to make sure national farming policy reflects the real challenges on the ground.
