Mauritius has budgeted to receive payment for Labour’s Chagos surrender. Not a single penny of British taxpayers’ money should be going to Mauritius for Labour’s failings.

Conservatives have opposed Labour’s Chagos surrender deal at every step. It was the Conservatives who exposed Labour’s £35 billion Chagos surrender cost and raised major security concerns, subject...

Labour’s Chagos surrender has been wrong from the start. Labour’s u-turn and cancellation of the Chagos surrender deal is another humiliation for Keir Starmer and the Labour Government.

Labour’s planning reforms are now threatening Silver End. A speculative application of 375 dwellings has now been proposed, which will place massive pressures on our public services and infrastruc...

Labour’s Chagos surrender was Keir Starmer’s number one foreign policy priority as he travelled the world waving the white flag. He has undermined our standing in the world and, once again, been le...

Keir Starmer isn’t leading, he’s dithering. Nine months in and still no defence investment plan. At a time of global insecurity, Britain needs decisions not delay. Our allies in the gulf expected...

Keir Starmer has disappointed our allies in the Middle East during this conflict. The Labour Government’s lack of substance in defending our allies and protecting British assets has been deafening.

Even Keir Starmer doesn’t know what Keir Starmer’s plan is. His dithering and absence on the international stage is embarrassing, and his trip to the Middle East is an afterthought, highlighting h...

Russia continues to pose a threat to the United Kingdom and our allies. We need to see much more direct action against Russia and its intolerable behaviour.

Our allies in the Middle East have continued to call for the United Kingdom to step up. Britain must do all it can to defend our allies, our personnel, and our assets during this conflict.

Today, Labour’s vindictive Family Farm Tax and Family Business Tax come into force. A broken promise to farmers and rural communities. At a time of rising costs, falling confidence and farm closur...

Wishing everyone a blessed and very happy Easter. May this special time bring joy, renewal, and hope to you and your loved ones, and a chance to celebrate together in peace and happiness.

Wishing all Christians a solemn and reflective Good Friday, a moment to reflect on sacrifice, compassion, and the enduring strength of faith.

Labour’s planning policies and increase in housing targets threatens our countryside, farmland, and rural Essex. Sites in my constituency are now under threat. I’ve met with Kelvedon Against Urba...

Great to be out yesterday with Cllr Chris Siddall in Earls Colne meeting local residents and businesses ahead of Essex County Council elections. Lots of residents raising issues with the state of o...

Sending warm wishes of joy and many blessings this Passover. May this Passover bring happiness, health, and harmony to families across the Jewish community. Chag Sameach!

March Highlights An insight into some of the work I have been doing this month. Across the Witham constituency, I have been supporting our local schools, businesses and farmers, while also carryin...

Today, Labour has decided to scrap the A120 dualling scheme between Braintree and Marks Tey. This is one of the most dangerous and busiest single carriageway roads in the country, and yet this Lab...

I am appalled by the government’s proposal to break up the great County of Essex into five unitary authorities, which is simply not acceptable. My constituents don’t want this, and they were not p...
