I know how much constituents value the NHS, but can sometimes find accessing vital services difficult. Our 10 year plan for the NHS will see more care delivered in the community, including by GPs, so it's important people can access these services as easily as possible
I had a great time at Crowthorne Musical Players' production of We Will Rock You last night... even if I did fall into the evil clutches of the Killer Queen!
Last month I visited Buckler's Forest Land Trust to meet the team and congratulate them on winning the Land Trust's Site of the Year for 2026
It's a testament to the work they supporting wildlife and community allotments on a well-loved green space

The Government will legislate to protect children from nude images on their phones
I know from my discussions with local parents and young people that we have a long way to go to make the online world safe for children, but these measures are a huge step in the right direction
I recently visited local charity Parity for Disability to hear about their work supporting adults with complex needs to thrive
We spoke about the urgent need to reform the adult social care system and how local charities can be better supported
Good to be back at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst this morning and to be greeted by local MP @PDJSwallow.
We are increasing defence spending and investing in increasing the lethality of the British Army. Leadership and training is at the heart of that effort. 🇬🇧
I had a fantastic time judging Sandhurst’s Got Talent last night in support of the Mayor's charities
Every performance was incredible - congratulations to everyone who took part! - but our overall champions were the brilliant Echo Chambers 🎸🎤
Great to meet up with the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust team at Wildmoor Heath a couple of weeks ago
We talked about the value of green space and the importance of building climate resilience
