Great to welcome the Chancellor Rachel Reeves to Wittering today!
We spoke with residents on doorsteps across the village about Labour’s Plan for Change and the need to fix local infrastructure – and I discussed the much-needed A1 flyover with Rachel as well.
On the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we remember those who gave everything to secure our peace and freedom.
I'm honoured to be spending today at RAF Wittering – it’s a privilege to represent an area where this legacy is so deeply felt.
Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Yesterday, I welcomed the Secretary of State for Transport @heidialexander.bsky.social to North West Cambridgeshire, where we had a great discussion with local campaigners about the importance of rural bus services.
Too many residents feel unsafe due to off-road bikes being ridden dangerously on pavements & footpaths. This is especially worrying for older people & those with mobility issues.
I’m glad Labour is taking this seriously, giving police stronger powers to crack down on this menace.
These changes have been championed by Anna Smith as Deputy Mayor, and with her leading the way, we can continue building a bus network that works for everyone! 🚏
🚍 Great to see Labour’s progress on bus reform across Cambridgeshire & Peterborough – making public transport more affordable and accessible for local people.
