Prime Minister Boris Johnson has today launched the Conservative manifesto in Telford, setting out how he will get Brexit done and unleash Britain’s potential.

My Clean Campaign Pledge seeks to hold candidates responsible for activists and Councillors on their side of the political debate, and provide a more grown-up environment for political debate at a time of increasing intolerance and vicious political attacks.

More than 40 young Tories, including many students from the University of Kent, filled the room at Chapter Pizza restaurant in Canterbury last Friday, 18th October, to discuss the environment.

I teamed up with Laura Drew from Chestfield and her guide dog, Jimmy, to support the Guide Dogs Access all Areas campaign and raise awareness of the access rights of all assistance dog owners in Canterbury high street.

LBC and Priti Patel MP are absolutely right to hi-light that the law relating to assaults on police officers and other emergency workers needs reform. Police officers and emergency workers protect us and keep us safe, whether on our streets, in our fire engines, in our ambulances or Hospitals.

I met up with Kent Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Scott to discuss ways we can tackle these issues together.

It was fantastic to welcome George Freeman MP on his first visit as Minister for Transport to Canterbury. I explained to him that we need more trains and an eastern A28 by-pass to alleviate congestion & air pollution in Canterbury itself .

I'm delighted to be supporting Cllr Ashley Clark's great campaign to stop over 80 unlawful encampments in Canterbury, by taking out a preventative High Court injuction - the only Council in Kent to do so!
