🗣️ Devolution should strengthen local voices, not take power further away.
Our Capitol Theatre, our parks and many other community assets thrive because local people run them.
Without proper protections and fair funding for town and parish councils, these loved local assets could disappear.

I had a great time at the opening of the new padel courts at Bluecoat Sports Centre at Christ's Hospital!
I got to test them out in a few doubles matches alongside Sophie Bray - Olympic gold medallist and now one of the UK's top 20 women's padel players.

This Budget offered a chance to restore growth and give people hope that things can get better. Instead, this feels more like we’re just treading water.
It’s a Budget that kicks the big issues further on down the road. I'll continue to press for a better approach for Horsham.

🚜 Today’s Budget is the government’s chance to scrap this damaging tax and show they are listening to rural communities.
Our farms are the backbone of local food production and the economy; they deserve our support.

On the eve of the Budget, I’m urging the Chancellor to set out a plan that genuinely supports families, pensioners and small businesses across Horsham.
The government should start by backing our plans to cut VAT for hospitality, protect jobs and put money back into people’s pockets.

On Monday, I met Brake to discuss #RoadSafetyWeek and Graduated Driving Licences (GDLs).
I'm urging the government to seriously consider GDLs, an issue that Horsham constituent Jane Radford has been a powerful advocate for.

🗣️ Today, on #InternationalMen'sDay, I spoke about the urgent need to address our mental health crisis.
As Chair of the APPG for Rural Business, I hear devastating stories of suicide in our farming community. 95% of young farmers say mental health is the biggest hidden danger in the sector.

My recent survey found that local farmers don't report over a third of rural crimes because they feel nothing would happen if they did.
Last week, I asked the government to ensure that the police have access to the training and resources they need to tackle this type of crime.

Fascinating to take part in #EvidenceWeek and discuss how publicly funded research can tackle our major challenges, from improving access to essential services to combating climate change.
It was great to meet with Windracers and SeaCURE to hear how they're innovating in their sectors.
