Welcome — and thanks for stopping by!
I’m delighted to welcome you to my new website, launched in January 2026. This is where you can keep up to date with my work representing East Antrim and standing up for Northern Ireland at Westminster.
You’ll find regular updates on the issues I’m campaigning on, the debates I’m speaking in, and the work I’m doing to make sure our voices are heard and our interests protected.
I am committed to holding the Government to account and to delivering real, practical outcomes for local people across East Antrim.

During the session, I raised concerns about the additional costs and bureaucracy these measures will place on operators, particularly those serving vital routes between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. It is essential that environmental targets do not come at the expense of connectivity, affordability, or the economic wellbeing of Northern Ireland.

It is always encouraging to see new businesses choosing to invest in our local area.
New enterprises like this bring much-needed jobs
, support our local economy 
, and strengthen confidence in Larne as a great place to work, live, and do business. 
I wish Paul and the team at Inver Fuels every success as they establish themselves in the area.

Instead of focusing on real issues like health
, roads 
and the cost of living , they are more concerned with pushing confusing ideas that most families simply do not agree with.People want common sense and clear leadership.
When a party loses touch with everyday values, support stops growing – and it will start to decline.
In Parliament I made it clear that even with government schemes, the up-front costs of energy improvements still force low-income households to borrow. That is not real support – it is just shifting the burden onto those who can least afford it.
I also pressed for clarity on whether Northern Ireland will receive a proper Barnett consequential. If funding is available elsewhere in the UK, then Northern Ireland must be treated fairly and not left behind.
And we must be honest about energy costs. Despite intervention on prices, electricity remains more expensive than gas, largely because of the impact of net zero policies. That continues to push up running costs for households.
Warm homes are important, but they must be affordable, fairly funded, and realistic about the pressures families face.
𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐓𝐨 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞 Once again, residents across East Antrim are being let down by the appalling condition of our roads. Potholes, broken surfaces and long delays in repairs are now the norm rather than the exception.
The Sinn Féin Infrastructure Minister must be held to account for this neglect. Motorists, businesses, and local communities rely on a safe and reliable road network, yet many are left dealing with damage to vehicles, safety risks, and daily frustration.
This is not just about inconvenience – it is about public safety, economic confidence, and basic standards of service. Our roads should not be allowed to deteriorate while excuses are made and responsibility is dodged.
East Antrim deserves better. I will continue pressing the Minister to explain why our road network is being ignored and to take urgent action to ensure proper maintenance and fair investment for our area.
I am calling on the Finance Minister to ensure that when this money arrives, it is fully passed on to our local hospitality businesses.
This is a vital sector for our economy.
It provides jobs for young people, supports families, and plays a key role in promoting tourism across Northern Ireland.
Hospitality must not be neglected. Our businesses deserve fair support and proper backing.
