    Raising my concerns in Parliament about the police focusing on policing social media rather than crimes like shoplifting and burglary and the failure to act on blatant antisemitism at this weekend’s Pride march. (1/2)

    We are fortunate to have an excellent Chief Constable but disappointing waffle in response from the Policing Minister. (2/2)

    We can't allow new government proposals for trusted news content to end up promoting left-wing groupthink. My question in Parliament today.

    The government’s decision to place Hertsmere planning into special measures is a serious blow to the credibility of the Labour/Liberal run council. (1/3)

    This will make it even harder to resist large-scale green belt development, coming on top of Labour’s reintroduction of totally unrealistic top-down housing targets and redesignation of green belt as 'grey belt'. (2/3)

    These are very worrying times for those of us who care about protecting our precious countryside from uncontrolled urban sprawl. I continue to work with local campaigners to do all I can to preserve our green spaces. (3/3)

    Small businesses like The Arch Restaurant on Borehamwood High Street are the beating heart of our economy. However, Labour’s tax hikes and rising supplier costs are putting them under huge pressure. (1/2)

    Along with Cllr Glenn Briski, we are fighting for these local restauranteurs to ensure they don’t just survive but thrive. A massive thank you to the team for the delicious food- let's keep supporting our local independent businesses! (2/2)

    Ahead of National Carers Week, I was pleased to meet the Carers in Hertfordshire Group and hear the experiences of some carers. Unpaid carers are the backbone of our community. I’m committed to ensuring these local heroes get the support, respite, and recognition they deserve.
