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.

One of the more conciliatory things said by one of our EU partners when a referendum was in the offing was by the Finnish Prime Minister, who proclaimed that: ‘The EU without Britain is pretty much the same as fish without chips.’

WASPI Update including lobbying MPs, working out solutions, how you can help, e.g.

My "short" update on the progress of the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill. This is the legislation that gives Parliament's consent to allow the Government to enact Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, thereby beginning the process of our withdrawal from the EU.
