Today, I asked the Defence Secretary how we’re strengthening protection against missile threats here in the UK.
He confirmed an extra £1bn investment in UK air defence - a welcome step.

Antisemitism has no place in our country.
Targeting life-saving ambulances is an attack on all of us.
We stand with the Jewish community. #StandAgainstAntisemitism

That’s not scrutiny - that’s filibustering. 👇

Now let’s ensure our magistrates reflect the communities they serve. 👇
#Justice #Magistrates #Courts #Law
The Shadow Justice Secretary’s comments are unacceptable and risk fuelling division - we must stand firmly for respect, tolerance, and the right to practise one’s faith freely. 👇 #StandUpToHate
Speaking in Westminster Hall on Royal Mail - the postal service in this country must remain an obligation, not an option.
Residents in rural areas, including Thurston, have raised real concerns about ad hoc deliveries and unreliable service. It’s time this was taken seriously. #RoyalMail
