As Brexit returns to the spotlight, I wanted to share my thoughts on the UK's future relationship with Europe. Brexit has been a disaster for businesses of all sizes, including for many in Wimbledon. We must begin the difficult work of rebuilding with our nearest trading partner. Read more here: politics.co.uk/2026/10/brexi…

Just intervened to stop these five nasty thugs wearing Kingstanding Patriots tops beating up a black guy they picked on randomly by the IMAX. They’ve now headed toward the South Bank and I’ve called the @metpoliceuk who have gone off in search of them.

Concerned by reports of loss of water supply across Wimbledon, New Malden, Raynes Park and Morden this morning. I've contacted Thames Water to establish what is being done to restore normal service and will share updates as they become available. Latest updates: thameswater.co.uk/network-la…

Every incremental increase in the duties placed on employers, makes doing business more difficult - particularly for SMEs. It’s death by a thousand cuts at the hands of this financially illiterate Labour government. theguardian.com/law/2026/sep…

Wimbledon is proud to be home to 22 Parkside, the pioneering modernist house designed by Richard Rogers. Generously, the Rogers family has gifted the remarkable building to the National Trust. A true architectural gem. I encourage everyone to visit it once it is open. nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/l…

As we face yet another London heatwave, we've got to do something about London's extreme bus temperatures - not safe for commuters or drivers alike!

🚮 £250,000 to fight a bin. If that’s what Reform would do with their own cash, imagine what they’d do with yours.

.@Nigel_Farage has made a career out of ‘taking back control’ - but he is not being straight with the British people about who controls him. Today, I have written to the Standards Commissioner to urge that the latest @thetimes @Gabriel_Pogrund revelations are investigated.
EXCLUSIVE Nigel Farage failed to declare that a criminal and crypto gambler paid for his staff, security, drivers, social media output in year before election Reform leader has also received free accommodation in Westminster from George Cottrell as MP thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

Labour backbenchers, who refused to vote for what needs to be done, have rejected a leader who tried to persuade them to support at least some of those things, in favour of a weaker leader who won’t even do that. How long before buyer’s remorse sets in? Where’s that lettuce? 🥬

It was wonderful to take my family to the Dano Festival celebrations in Beverley Park yesterday & meet so many members of the community. Thank you to the Peaceful Unification Advisory Council & the Association of North Korean Residents in the UK for hosting.

I hope the outcome is positive for @MPSRoyal_Parks. As a volunteer ranger, we rely on their advice, support and action. I cannot envisage our role without them.
