Bringing East Antrim’s Voice to the Centre of Decision-Making
A great weekend at the literary festival in Magheramorne House, with local and international authors speaking about their latest books.
With around 900 attendees, it was fantastic to see such strong support for the arts.
Well done to Steven Walker and all the team at Magheramorne House for putting on such a brilliant event.

A lovely morning in Carnlough along the Antrim Coast, meeting with Rivers Agency officials and constituents to discuss flooding concerns.
Proud to represent one of the most beautiful constituencies in Northern Ireland.
Enjoyed attending the Larne Rotary Club breakfast this morning alongside Councillors Gregg McKeen and Angela Smyth.
Funds raised were donated to Guide Dogs for the Blind – a truly wonderful charity doing invaluable work.
Ahead of tonight’s vote in the House of Lords on proposals to allow abortion up to birth, I joined protesters outside Parliament to show my support for their campaign.

🚜 I attended a briefing by the National Farmers’ Union on the importance of ensuring a level playing field for UK farmers.
Farmers made it clear that food imports from other countries must be required to meet the same high standards that farmers are expected to adhere to here in the United Kingdom. 🇬🇧🌾
At present, unfair trade deals allow food produced to lower standards to undercut British farmers, putting our agricultural sector at a serious disadvantage.
While trade is an important engine of economic growth and plays a vital role in creating incentives for farmers across the world, the Government must deliver on its manifesto commitment to uphold the highest standards in food production. 📜
I know that farmers in my constituency produce excellent, high-quality food, but they must not be undercut by agricultural imports produced to lower standards elsewhere in the world.
Our farmers deserve fair competition, proper recognition, and strong support for the vital work they do in feeding our nation. 🌱🚜
