Cancer waiting times have worsened every year for the past 11 years.
Our NHS has been broken by years of Conservative failure.
We need MPs who genuinely care about public services, and are committed to investing in them to improve patient care.

While global temparatures rise, Labour ditches their green investment plan. 🤦
This is a massive backward step for our climate and our economy.
Investing in win-win green infrastructure is crucial to build an economy fit for the future. 💚

"This far exceeds anything that is acceptable" - Prof Sir Bob Watson.
Indeed.
We urgently need politicians who recognise the reality of the climate crisis and are prepared to step up and take action to create a better future.

Flooding has a devastating effect on people's lives
Concerning that homes are being built without defences - and existing defences aren't maintained
As the risk increases, we need more emphasis on safe building and defences incl. nature-based solutions

😤 Herefordshire's rivers continue to be polluted by untreated chicken waste.
💩 The Conservatives have shown zero leadership and have consistently reduced EA funding.
💚 If elected MP for North Herefordshire, I will do all I can to restore rivers like the Wye and the Lugg.

The tragic death of two-year old Awaab Ishak focused attention on the grave risk to health of mould in social housing.
The Government must stop delaying and keep its promise of tough repair deadlines for social landlords.
Everyone deserves a safe home.

❌ Extreme weather is becoming more frequent and more dangerous - but the Government is failing to protect us.
✅ To limit its frequency and its damage, we need to phase out fossil fuels and properly prepare homes, businesses and infrastructure.
