Promoting the Politics of Courage
While the US President seems intent on destroying international relations and the ‘rules-based World order’ it’s important for the rest of the world to work together to calm markets and find a rational solution. The UK should work to establish an international ‘Coalition of the Willing’ to face down Mr Trump’s ill-considered actions. The alternative […]
The US President seems content to undermine international relations and the ‘rules-based World order’. The rest of the world are left to calm markets and find rational solutions, while the toys are thrown out of the White House playpen. The UK must work to establish an international ‘Coalition of the Willing’. The only alternative is […]
West Cornwall MP Andrew George has launched a ‘Buy Cornish, Back Britain’ campaign with his North Cornwall parliamentary colleague Ben Maguire MP to support local businesses potentially affected by Donald Trump’s damaging new trade tariffs. Andrew said, “Britain has always resolutely stood up to bullies. We must work to establish an international ‘Coalition of […]

This week I’ve been asked by constituent, Tina Nash, to go public about my support for her and my request to the Justice Secretary to appeal the decision to move the perpetrator of the horrific attack on her 14 years ago to an open prison. As this paper has reported, Tina was the victim of […]
I was pleased to secure an opportunity to debate fishery management issues with the fishing minister this week (Wed 26th March). As we’re nearly a quarter way into 2025, the pattern of catch against quota/catch allowance has more clear, and so I’m requesting reasonable adjustments to better reflect the reality of the state of the […]
The Prime Minister is right that much of what both NHS England and the Dept. of Health do is avoidable duplication. Shrinking and amalgamating these bureaucracies and releasing more money for frontline staff and patient services is common sense. Conservatives left our NHS in its worst crisis in history. The new government’s proposal is a […]
