A Taste of Cornwall

Last weekend, there were celebrations in towns across Cornwall to mark St Piran’s Day.  Over the past few years, we have seen a growing interest in Cornwall’s history and culture. Camborne, Redruth, and Hayle are at the very heart of this revival, and it’s great to see these great industrial towns…

Reducing Animal Testing

Parliament recently held a debate on the use of animals in testing which I spoke in.  In 1986, this country introduced the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act. At the time, it was seen as world-leading and as the gold standard, with its three Rs principles: to replace animal testing wherever…

Confronting County Lines and Building Resilient Communities

One of the persistent challenges that the local police have faced over the past ten years is the problem of so called "county lines" drug gangs and all the associated violence, antisocial behaviour, poverty, and ruined lives that goes with it.   Many of these gangs originate from major cities like…

Supporting Wronged Postmasters

Last week, it became clear how effective well-made TV drama can move and shape public opinion. It is an issue that has been ongoing for some time.  MPs across the country have been raising cases with the Post Office and with the Government.  This has promoted reviews and inquiries and legal action…

A New Year with Lots to Do

You win some and you lose some as the saying goes.  In politics, you can't always get the outcome you want however much you fight.  Towards the end of last year, there were two issues affecting our area that were taking up some of my time. Firstly, the good news.  The Government has decided to…

A New Year

The year ahead will be an important one for the world of politics because there will be a General Election at some point.  In theory, the very latest date possible would be January 2025 but I don't think people would welcome political campaigning over the Christmas period.   The most likely date is…
