It was a very interesting and informative meeting at Third Sector Connect Kent yesterday. We need to articulate the value of the sector within restructured local government in Kent and Medway.

On International Women’s Day I reflect on my time in Parliament as the 495th woman ever to sit in the House of Commons. It was the honour of my life. I captured those memories in a memoir which will ever be published as it is not sensationalist! #InternationalWomensDay2026

I was delighted to attend the very successful CWO summit about violence against women and girls in Canterbury recently.

The rape gangs have carried out their crimes for years. From social workers to councillors, the authorities failed. And the failure was covered up. Now Labour are deleting court records that could give us the truth. We are fighting to stop them.

I have always believed this and hope people will sign up to Prosper UK which will push for sensible, centre right Conservative policies.
Voters don’t want more drama. They want an economy that works, and a party that represents them. That’s how Reform is beaten - and why centre right policies matter. Join us today: prosperuk.com/sign-up/

Hugely excited about this. Andy and Ruth have shown they know how to win outside 'natural' Conservative territory. I hope my former colleagues will listen to what they have to say thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

So sad to learn of the passing of my best friend of over forty years, Poco, after several years battling cancer. The most wonderful person I ever met, Poco you will be forever in my heart.

The emergency debate on Lord Mandelson’s appointment raised many questions which will need to be answered in full during and after the parliamentary recess with a duty of candour on all concerned!

The Urgent Question on the appointment of the UK ambassador to the US shows Parliament at its best- great contributions from all sides after an outstanding opening speech by Sir David Davis which gave a detailed chronology of Lord Mandelson’s unsuitability for a diplomatic role

Delighted to see the introduction of the Hillsborough Law in Parliament today. We need to watch its passage through Parliament to ensure it is not watered down and to call for the protection of those who speak out. #OfficeOfTheWhistleblower #WhistleblowersUK
