As we draw into the winter months, time’s will get harder for many families, and I would ask anyone who can, toContinue reading Reverse Advent Calendar, please join my foodbank appeal
I always find Remembrance Sunday makes me quite reflective. It’s an event which I almost always attend. My earliest memories are cold winter mornings, marching with the Boys Brigade. I was thinking about that on Sunday as I joined constituents at the Cross of Sacrifice service, organised by Friends of Brandwood End cemetery. I tryContinue reading The values of duty, service & respect much needed today

I share the view of so many that my murdered colleague Sir David Amess was a thoroughly decent man who cared deeply for others and was devoted to his constituency. I couldn’t pay tribute to him, in the House of Commons, because as is often the case on these occasions, many more wanted to contributeContinue reading No one should go to work leaving their loved ones to wonder whether they will be coming home again

At Labour conferences, there are those who want to win elections and those who love opposition and do their best to embarrass the leadership, a bit like having a few hundred grumpy aunts and uncles, sitting in the corner, upsetting your family and friends. The Tories often stageContinue reading Bright ideas under wraps
I’m back in Parliament today, following events in Afghanistan. For 20 years we’ve been battling extremists obsessed with perverting Islamic ideals. Whether it’s Daesh who emerged from the remnants of Al Qaeda or the Taliban, their striking feature, apart from their barbarity, is their attitude towards women who can’t hold jobs but can be soldContinue reading We must step up to plate in time of crisis
Yesterday, 18 August 2021, Parliament was recalled to debate the events in Afghanistan and the UK Government’s response.Watch Steve’s contribution to the debate here:
Does Boris Johnson have something against pensioners? That’s a question I have asked all too often these days, especially since Dominic Cummings revealed that the PM wasn’t too bothered when he thought Covid was only killing the over 80s.
