I raised with the Leader of the House, that the Government seems to be too busy fighting among themselves to fight for this country. We have the Defence Secretary at loggerheads with the Chancellor, who has had to concede to the Health Secretary, promising money that the Chancellor said he did not have. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury has said that the Environment Secretary is talking nonsense, and the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union has apparently pulled a white rabbit out of a hat, rather than a White Paper. The Leader of the House has also joined in, saying that the Environment Secretary and the Trade Secretary are tearing to shreds the Prime Minister’s preferred option for the customs partnership. There’s loyalty for you.

On 27 June 2018, I met with farmers and NGOs in Parliament to celebrate sustainable farming across the UK. The Farmers’ Market was organised by the environmental coalitions Wildlife and Countryside Link and Greener UK. The coalitions include organisations such as RSPB, National Trust, WWF and RSPCA.

I voted against the construction of a third runway at Heathrow in Parliament on 25 June 2018. As Member of Parliament for Walsall South, I want to support local jobs and services and Birmingham Airport.

The Representation of the People (Equal Franchise) Act 1928 granted equal voting rights to men and women over the age of 21.

At Business Question on 21 June 2018, I raised with the Leader of the House the President of the United State’s policy of separating children from their parents. This Government appear to lack moral authority. They have lost their place in the world as a moral force. The Prime Minister could have telephoned the President and told him that this is barbaric and inhumane.
