Great news Chancellor announces Freeport status for Humber ports. More investment and jobs coming to this area and more Government funding for renewables and port infrastructure

A great day, despite all the hurdles placed in the way. - We Got Brexit Done and delivered on the referendum result

Just come out of meeting with Health Secretary after his announcement that Tier 3 restrictions continue. An opportunity to talk about testing, vaccinations & extra support for our area

Ignore reports that Covid vaccines won't be available in northern Lincolnshire. They will

Having spent last couple of days being briefed by ministers & local health chiefs I will support the tier system. The approach is sensible. It's a blow for many local businesses but we've got to squeeze out the virus. Better a few extra weeks of restrictions than prolonging agony

I'm delighted to have been appointed as the Prime Minister's Trade envoy to the Western Balkans and to play a part in building trade links between the UK, Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia

Here's what a Trade Envoy is👇

Thank you to Martin Vickers MP for Cleethorpes for visiting Today's Extra Fiveways Store with Nick Ramsden MD Ramsden Group and Lisa Flear, HR Director Ramsden Group, to talk about the work local shops have been doing to feed their communities throughout the Covid-19 crisis

An honour to meet with Ambassador Jane Hartley this morning with colleagues, including Martin Vickers and @neil_parish. We discussed the importance of free trade to boost economies post-Covid.

Boris Johnson is absolutely right to demonstrate that we are a sovereign nation and will do all that is necessary to protect the UK's interests. He deserves our full support for delivering the Brexit that the country voted for.

Along with Grimsby colleague Lia Nici I had an excellent meeting with fishing industry reps ahead of next Tuesday's parliamentary debate on the Fisheries Bill

Excellent meeting at Job Centre this morning to hear about help and support available as we emerge from Covid measures

Advice to Government is children don't need to wear masks but if schools want their pupils to wear them they can. Why are we even discussing it?

Reports that I will be at today's Black Lives Matter protest in Cleethorpes are wrong No MP councillor or official representative should be there. Under coronavirus restrictions there should be no gatherings of 6+. We want to restrict infection Please stay away & stop the spread

Watch this, it's a fantastic. Some highlights of our great county and the rural community.
