As an ex-Army PTI, I know strong starts matter.

That’s why I’m proud Labour is delivering free breakfast clubs for 582 children in Swindon North. Real change for local families.

Great to visit the University of Bath and see how varied and incredible the work they're doing is for the region and especially how it can have a positive impact on Swindon.

The Pride in Penhill programme is worth a total of Β£20m, that's Β£2m every year for 10 years for Penhill.

I'm clear that this money must be spent on your priorities, not those of Politicians or any particular group, but YOU.

Take part in my survey have your say! willstone.org.uk/pride-in-pen...

Really exciting to meet the CEO of Valarian Max Buchan. They focus on AI containment for high-stakes and high regulation sectors and have contracts with UK and US governments. It’s really cool to see what is developing in this space.

🚨🏠 BIG news for leaseholders in Swindon North 🏠🚨

Many of you know the leasehold system is unfair and outdated. As a member of the Leasehold All-Party Parliamentary Group, I’m proud to share the action the Labour Government is now taking to put that right.

As a cat and dog owner β€” I know how important pets are to families in our community

That's why I am calling for clearer, fairer vet pricing and capped prescription charges.

Good discussion with Kevin on UK sovereign capabilities and supply chain resilience. His company’s work producing commuter chips plays a key role in building a stronger supply chain.

Amazing to attend the official opening of the new Abbey Meads dental practice building. Ebrahim gave a truly inspiring talk about the work he and his team have been doing over the past 20 years, including an initiative to provide free screenings for primary school aged children across the town.

Everyone deserves the chance to get active.

Following my meeting with Paul Skivington from UK Para-Jiu-Jitsu this week, I raised the importance of getting more disabled children involved in sport in the Chamber. It was great to hear how government programmes are supporting inclusivity.

Today I took part in the weekly Page-Turning Ceremony. This is a new meaningful tradition of remembrance that began in May 2025. Each week, a name is read from the Books of Remembrance commemorating and honouring Members, sons, daughters and servants of the House of Commons.

Following work I took part in following experiences with Guide Dogs and a number of disabled constituents, I'm incredibly pleased to see the government announce plans to develop powers which will enable local transport authorities to prohibit pavement parking in their areas.

It was a real pleasure to bring Paul Skivington a Para-jiu-jitsu athlete to parliament.

Alongside his competitive career, Paul teaches children and adults of all ages and abilities, developing his own syllabus to support and empower disabled athletes.

Wonderful to have the team from Ondas Capital to Parliament.

It’s encouraging to see innovative companies recognising Swindon as a place to build, collaborate, and scale. We look forward to continuing the conversation and exploring what this could mean for local businesses and skills.
