Labour’s budget relies on higher taxes instead of real growth. Lib Dems want stronger trade with Europe and fairer opportunities. The £150 energy bill cut is welcome, but families in Torbay risk losing out through frozen allowances. I will hold the government to account.

Tomorrow’s autumn budget must tackle the cost of living crisis. Cutting energy bills by £90 a year, saving households £270 by 2027, a 5p VAT cut for hospitality, and scrapping the two‑child benefit cap would boost Torbay’s high streets and lift children out of poverty.

New NHS figures show 310 people in the South West died from mouth cancer last year. Regular dental check-ups are vital for early detection — but too many in Torbay can't access a dentist. I've written to NHS England demanding answers on how they plan to fix this.

Yesterday in UK Parliament I met Windracers CEO Simon Muderack to discuss their ULTRA drone—used in Ukraine with MoD support. With 1000km range and 150kg payload, it’s transforming frontline logistics. I’ll keep pushing for more UK support. #Windracers #SupportUkraine #DefenceTech

🚆 Exciting upgrades at Torquay station! Platform 2 will get a new waiting room, disabled toilet with baby changing, better step-free access via Hennapyn Road, improved PA system and CCTV. I’ll keep pushing for more rail improvements across Torbay.

This morning I’m in Whitehall near the Cenotaph, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens—who also designed the Drum Inn in Cockington. Its chimneys echo the Cenotaph’s form. Later I’ll join the Remembrance service in Westminster Hall. A powerful moment to reflect.
