As many of you will know, we are currently in the middle of a hugely important debate in Parliament, where MPs are spending five days discussing the Government’s proposed Withdrawal Agreement.

Last week, I joined representatives from all around the world to take part in the first-ever International Committee (IGC) on Disinformation and ‘Fake News’.

Solihull is one of the few boroughs in the UK to enjoy a trade surplus with the European Union. Not only do we have Jaguar Land Rover, Birmingham Airport, and the NEC but also a wide range of manufacturers and service providers which rely on frictionless and tariff free trade with the EU.

Last week, I spoke in the House of Commons during the debate on the Government’s Finance Bill. This is a very important piece of legislation, which contains several crucial measures to support employment and economic growth.

Last Sunday, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, people from across the United Kingdom – and the world – marked one hundred years since the end of the First World War.

Last week Philip Hammond presented this year’s Budget to the House of Commons. It’s one of biggest Parliamentary events of the year, and there were several important announcements which I know will be very welcome here in Solihull.

Making sure that social care in Britain is put on a stable, sustainable footing is one of the most important challenges facing the Government.

Last week, I had the great pleasure of meeting a local veteran who had just received the Légion d'Honneur – France’s highest honour.

In my previous career as a consumer rights and personal finance journalist, a big part of my job was making economic stories interesting and accessible to everybody.
