Another busy week, another exercise in trying to compress it all into less than 1000 words, but here goes. Perhaps the highlight was Sunday’s trip to Blackburn Cathedral for the County’s celebration of Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee. Mayors and Mayoresses in their civic finery, Deputy Lieutenants galore all dressed up as well, judiciary in wigs,

I am pleased to report that as spring is here, the street surgeries have recommenced. Whilst I am a doughty soul, and can withstand anything the Fylde Coast weather can throw at me, I am conscious that not every resident wants to have to stand in a chill wind to give their MP the benefit

As daffodils and crocuses start to poke their little heads above the ground, and as the evenings start to lengthen, and the air each morning feel that little more spring-like, my spirits start to climb. Helped, in large part, by another productive week in Westminster. My week started with a bout of preparation for a

Normally this Letter from Westminster doesn’t actually get written from Westminster – but rather in my Blackpool flat on a Sunday afternoon. This weekend it really is being written from Westminster as I sit in my office on a Saturday morning, catching up on the incoming mail, having dodged the tourists mulling around outside in

Readers of certain tabloids may be forgiven for thinking that I am writing this from a sun-lounger having just embarked, with every other MP, on a ten-day holiday. Not so. Yes, it is ten days in between the House sitting, but four of those days are weekends, and another two are the ‘Fridays’ we should
