Tonight is the TV premiere of the Lobular Moon Shot Project film 'Our Journey with Lobular Breast Cancer'.

You can tune in at 7pm on Freeview 83, Sky 170, Virgin 136 or Freesat 162.

Great to meet Rosie and Ben from Raylands Country Park last week! 

We discussed some of the challenges they’re facing as a local business in the current climate, as well as the brilliant work they’re doing on rewilding and biodiversity.

What’s happened with Peter Mandelson is unacceptable. The British people were promised change at the last election and an end to the chaos from the Conservatives.

Instead, we’re seeing the same untrustworthiness and lack of transparency from this government.

I hope this review will now give families much-needed answers and lead to lasting improvements in maternity care.

I know this is a huge relief for the local families, who have had to fight so hard for this to happen. I was with the parents during their meeting with the Health Secretary a few weeks ago, and they put their case forward in such an impressive manner.

After two years of campaigning, I'm really pleased to hear that the Health Secretary has accepted calls for Donna Ockenden to chair a full independent review of maternity services at University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust.

Here is a quick update on some of the things I got up to last week👇

🏊️ At a time when too many of our rivers and seas aren’t safe to swim in, it’s deeply worrying that 1,200 pools have closed since 2010.

We need to back our communities and secure the future of these vital local facilities.

Political opinion with MP John Milne: Three kinds of election on one day Horsham voters could be forgiven for being a little confused by the trio of elections heading their way on May 7th. What exactly are we voting for and why?

📰 In my West Sussex County Times column this week, I discuss the upcoming local elections.

We had productive discussions on GP access, the impact of the new contract on surgeries, and how we can make better use of Horsham Hospital - part of my campaign to bring healthcare closer to residents.

Great to meet with the CEO of the Sussex Community Foundation Trust, Siobhan Melia and the local GP Patient Participation Group chairs last week.

🗣️Illegal vape shops are undermining our high streets and putting young people at risk.

We need tougher powers that give police and councils the time to act properly.

What started as a derelict warehouse back in July 2025 has been transformed into a sleek music and events venue. The vast amount of acoustic work that’s been done alone is impressive.

It's a real asset for the town, and I can't wait to see it thriving.

Great news for Horsham's music scene! 🎶🎸

Last week, I visited Brolly Brewing for a sneak peek of their new venue, The Brolly Fermentarium, which opens its doors on Saturday.

🗣️ Too many villages are losing vital local assets like pubs and community hubs, the very places that support local life.

While the Fair Funding Review recognises rurality in principle, the evidence shows rural areas face a widening funding gap compared to urban areas.

MP calls for tougher action over sewage pollution figures John Milne MP is demanding tougher action from the government over ongoing river pollution.

Sewage pollution is still blighting our rivers and waterways, and residents are rightly fed up.

I’m calling for tougher rules on pollution reporting and stronger enforcement to hold water companies to account.

Stop street racing - Horsham Liberal Democrats Horsham Liberal Democrats have launched a petition calling on Sussex Police to stop the street racing on the A264 and A24.

If you've been affected by road safety issues and street racing, please support calls for action by signing the petition👇

I recently met with Sussex Police Inspector Neil Durkan to discuss local crime, including concerns around street racing and shoplifting.

✍️ I’ve joined Lib Dem colleagues in writing to Minister Steve Reed for an urgent review of shared ownership in extra care housing.

Too many families are left unable to sell, facing huge costs and unnecessary distress. We need fairness, transparency, and action from the government.

MPs pledge support for charity helping people with ME and CFS Two more MPs have pledged their backing to a charity supporting people with a chronic illness.

Proud to join the Sussex & Kent ME/CFS Society alongside @alisonebennett.bsky.social.

We urgently need greater awareness and support for those affected by these conditions, something I'll continue to push for in Parliament.

🤝 It was a pleasure to chair the latest evidence session of the APPG for Rural Business, our final one ahead of next month’s ministerial meeting.

Political opinion: Horsham MP pushes for business rates overhaul and crackdown on shoplifting Liberal Democrat MP for Horsham, John Milne, has backed major new plans to support high streets, following the party’s Spring Conference last weekend (15–16 March). The proposals include a 5% cut on…

Our high street is at the heart of Horsham and must be protected.

I’m pushing for a fairer system that supports local businesses and tackles issues like shoplifting head-on.

🗣️ Financial abuse is a hidden but devastating form of domestic abuse, and too often, people are still being failed by the system.

On Monday, I asked the government what more can be done to ensure child maintenance and benefits systems aren’t used as tools of coercion and control.
