Urgent Sudan Statement

2nd May 2023 JHLeave a comment

The UK Government has been evacuating British nationals out of Sudan due to the ongoing conflict there. I thank the Foreign Secretary for the work he has done so far but I am worried about those who are being left behind. The husband of one of my constituents is currently stranded in Sudan while heContinue reading Urgent Sudan Statement →

Pharmacies Need Saving

27th April 2023 CHLeave a comment

I recently asked the Prime Minister about the risk of six hundred community pharmacies closing because of a contract that’s driving them to bankruptcy. It was signed before the cost-of-living crisis and prior to problems we’re now experiencing with medical supplies. You might think a doctor writes a prescription, the pharmacist provides the content andContinue reading Pharmacies Need Saving →

Commonality in a Divided World

13th April 2023 JHLeave a comment

This year, Easter, Ramadan and Passover all overlap. It happens about three times every century and many of us won’t see it again. It’s interesting to think about what our religions have in common. Passover celebrates the deliverance from slavery and fresh hope for the Israelites, Ramadan preaches spiritual regeneration and the overcoming of earthlyContinue reading Commonality in a Divided World →

United We Can Achieve Peace

9th February 20239th February 2023 CHLeave a comment

I’ve been in Israel for a few days, leading a delegation, to discover more about the political and security situation there and learning about peace initiatives. We’ve been looking at some exciting ideas to help people with disabilities and learning difficulties, management of ambulance services and the bringing together of young Israelis and Palestinians inContinue reading United We Can Achieve Peace →

Falling Apart

2nd February 2023 JHLeave a comment

First, Boris Johnson was driven from office because even his own MPs could no longer tolerate his lies. Then we suffered the Liz Truss disaster, resulting in chaos in the markets, threats to pensions, increases in mortgages and rents, and the highest tax burden in 70 years. It’s easy to see how Tory MPs mustContinue reading Falling Apart →

Happy New Year

5th January 2023 JHLeave a comment

I liked the tone of the first Christmas message from King Charles. His emphasis on service and consideration for others, values too many in public life ignore these days, appealed to me. He credited his mother, our late Queen, for encouraging his beliefs. As he talked of light from darkness, a concept common to mostContinue reading Happy New Year →

Fed Up with Footie Politics

1st December 20227th December 2022 CHLeave a comment

The World Cup is our greatest sporting event after the Olympics. It’s usually played in May/June and often an excuse for a few days off work or last-minute purchases of giant TVs. This year it’s in a very hot Qatar just before Christmas, but the weather’s not the only problem. The tournament’s mired in controversyContinue reading Fed Up with Footie Politics →

Lest We Forget

17th November 2022 JHLeave a comment

I’ve been attending Remembrance Sunday events since I was a youngster in the Boys Brigade. It’s one of those things I still look forward to all these years later, unlike some who see world wars as having happened a long time ago and ignore such traditions as belonging in the past and nothing to doContinue reading Lest We Forget →

End this Game of Thrones and let the people decide

27th October 202227th October 2022 CHLeave a comment

I didn’t think I’d be returning to this so soon, but Tory leaders change quicker than football managers these days.   Just six weeks after telling us Liz Truss was the answer, we’re inundated with Tory MPs claiming Rishi Sunak, whom they rejected in favour of Liz Truss, is now the answer.   I wish theContinue reading End this Game of Thrones and let the people decide →

End of an Era

15th September 202223rd September 2022 JHLeave a comment

I had planned to write this week about changes and new beginnings but on Thursday we learned ofthe passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the Second, the cruellest of signs of changing times andsomething many people hoped could be put off. It’s true that, despite average life expectancy for a woman in the UK beingContinue reading End of an Era →
