I'm at Short Ferry today meeting with Henry Ward and other local farmers.

Flooding is on the agenda. The Environment Agency has been neglecting to repair the local river banks.

They don't offer proper compensation nor do they have a properly compensated flood plain strategy.

Today I went to Nettleham to attend the Buddies Dementia Café that meets in the Village Hall.

This is an excellent charity that meets twice a month to provided support to those suffering from dementia as well as their carers.

This weekend I met with local campaigners fighting the solar panel proposals.

Current applications plan for 13,000 acres to be covered with solar panels within a six-mile radius around Gainsborough town.

We had a very positive meeting today regarding RAF Scampton.

I brought our hard-working West Lindsey District Council officials to Westminster to meet with Home Office Minister Tom Pursglove MP.

Today the National Audit Office that investigates waste in government spending released a report on the spiralling costs of housing illegal migrants at ex-military bases.

At PMQs today I managed to managed to question Rishi Sunak over this.

I have received a letter from Tom Pursglove MP, the Minister responsible for RAF Scampton.

In it, he confirms that the Home Office has now capped the number of migrants that they propose to house at Scampton to 800.

Sir Edward Leigh, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Gainsborough, has written to the head of LNER pressing for an update on the railway’s plan for a daily direct return service between Market Rasen and London.

I am delighted that Stepping Stone Theatre has been awarded a funding grant by the People's Health Trust.

Stepping Stone is a mental health charity based here in West Lindsey that uses creative endeavours to help people with long-term mental health challenges.

Welcome though any tax cut is — letting people keep more of their own money — abolishing National Insurance completely will mean replacing it with higher tax.

This hurts pensioners in particular.

We need a more comprehensive long-term plan for pensioners.

It's now been a year since the Home Office announced it was going to attempt to house illegal migrants at Scampton.

We warned this would not be as easy as civil servants were making out and by now vast amounts have been wasted on this saga without a single migrant being houses.
