I recently visited Greece to meet children who, having fled bombs and bullets, had put themselves in the hands of smugglers to make a dangerous crossing into Europe, in a desperate act to reach the safety of their family.

This morning I debated with Hilary Benn on Sky News the benefits of leaving the EU's Customs Union, which currently stops the UK from making our own free trade agreements, and the so-called No Deal Option which is an important part of our negotiating position.

The fire at Grenfell Tower was horrific and the extent of personal tragedy which had affected so many families is appalling and heart-breaking.

I pledge to continue supporting #WASPI women and working in Parliament to find a solution for the millions of women affected #WASPIpledge

Thank you to all those who have contacted me as part of the 'Please don't cut our schools!' campaign.

For months our opponents have been claiming that Theresa May does not have a proper mandate because she was not elected as Prime Minister at the last general election.

The consultation on a new fair funding formula for our schools closed on March 22nd and a result is keenly awaited.

If the intention was to get into Parliament, cause absolute mayhem and disrupt our democracy then it failed. 

Parliament is getting on with its business we are not going to be undermined by terrorism. This attack has failed and it will always fail. 

Schools in West Sussex are facing some really difficult financial decisions, including cutting course, not replacing teachers and not purchasing pretty basic equipment.

West Sussex MPs recognise the pressures on our local schools and have been calling for fair funding for some time. 

When times are tough, those without a voice are destined to lose out. With no vote, no power and no say, children are easy to ignore when it comes to divvying up dwindling resources.
