Too many local people are experiencing shocking delays to their post.

Today, I pushed Royal Mail directors to rectify this urgently - they’ve agreed to turn it around in 4 weeks.

It was an honour to be hosted by @thijsreuten.bsky.social in the European Parliament to discuss security across Europe and the challenges in confronting the far-right.

The UK must work with our European friends and neighbours in defence of democracy and freedom.

Jim Carter council plantings schemes take off as actor calls for nationwide roll-out Jim Carter council plantings schemes take off as actor calls for nationwide roll-out - from HortWeek

#DowntonAbbey 's Jim Carter is so passionate about gardening's impact on our children's health and wellbeing, he wants to see it on the national curriculum. I'm grateful to have his support for my Grow for the Future policy to turn wasteland into places where #schools can teach growing healthy food.
