The question is which Labour MPs will win the lottery for one of the 150 slips that will allow them to get out of having to vote for their own Winter Fuel Payment policy? And which of those who don’t get a pass will have the moral courage to risk losing the whip if they rebel?

Two months into a Labour Government and we’ve heard nothing of substance from the Defence Secretary or Veterans Minister on how Labour will support veterans. After just one conversation with John Healey the Veterans Commissioner for Northern Ireland has resigned.

Thank you to Kimbolton School for inviting me to the Grand Re-opening of the school swimming pool today following its ÂŁ1.4m refurbishment. The pool is far more than a private school swimming pool and as a real community asset is used by a host of other schools, clubs,

Great, but slightly damp, ride out this morning through Huntingdon, Abbots Ripton, Wennington, the Raveleys, Wistow, Broughton, Old Hurst, Pidley, St. Ives, the Hemingfords, Godmanchester and back to Huntingdon. Just over 45km and covering around half of the constituency.

Keir Starmer’s gaslighting of pensioners ahead of the General Election should go down as one of the most shamefully duplicitous pieces of electioneering this country has seen. This week he intends to remove the Winter Fuel Payment for pensioners on as little as £11,500 a year.

Having lobbied the Chancellor and written formally to the Health Secretary it's reassuring to finally receive the first official confirmation from the Government that Hinchingbrooke Hospital will be rebuilt and that the lifespan of the existing buildings with RAAC panels is 2030.

“Will the Prime Minister now rule out taking pensioners’ winter fuel payments off them to help fund his £46 billion black hole?” Four months ago Keir Starmer gaslit pensioners by pretending the Winter Fuel Payment was at risk to fund a fictional tax cut. Today he’s removing it.

Yesterday I voted against the Government’s plans to withdraw the Winter Fuel Payment for 10 million pensioners. In Huntingdon 94% of pensioners currently receiving the Winter Fuel Payment will now lose it after the Government passed their motion yesterday; That’s just shy of

Really pleased to support the National Farmers' Union #BackBritishFarmingDay. It’s hugely important that we support our British farmers and growers and demonstrate how important agriculture is to both our rural communities and the economy.

Yesterday Keir Starmer refused to publish the impact assessment that illustrates the true cost to pensioners of their callous decision to remove the Winter Fuel Payment. Today they are refusing to provide the detail of the fictional “£22bn black hole” they used to justify it.

“The one part of Great Britain that has the worst outcomes on pretty much every measure, is Wales.” As Keir Starmer gears up for his big NHS reset speech perhaps he would do well to address why Labour’s track record in Wales is so poor after 25 years under their control?
