I have started the year with a series of strategic meetings with key local groups including the Police, Yeovil District Hospital, South Somerset District Council and the management of Yeovil Town Football Club.
The House of Commons returned on Tuesday of last week with an update on the security situation in Iran and the situation there remains of great concern.
I am hugely grateful to the good people of Yeovil and South Somerset for re-electing me a week ago. Over ten thousand more of you voted for me than when I was first elected in 2015. Across the country though the big winner was democracy.
Congratulations to Rev David Keen and the many talented team members involved in putting together the new St Peter’s Community Centre which opened on Saturday.
We venture further into uncharted territory this week and discover not only do the Supreme Court judges feel that Parliament should be sitting but that Prorogation never actually happened. It is as if the last two weeks were all a dream - Parliament has been resumed as it was never away.
Great news on education this week with big announcements on increased funding plans. Schools here and across the country are to get a boost of over £14 billion between now and 2022.
