    I am supporting Rishi. Rishi is the experienced leader to sort the economy, lead effectively, get us back into political contention, and unite the Party and country. He is the right choice.

    I will be voting for Boris Johnson in the confidence vote tonight. He’s demonstrated real leadership in getting the big calls right as PM - Brexit, vaccines, reopening and Ukraine. 1/2

    In a few days time I'll be going on paternity leave to support my amazing wife who's having our third baby! 👶 I'll still be available to respond to constituents, and thanks to new reforms I'll also become the first dad on paternity leave to be able to vote by proxy! 👇

    Very happy to be appointed the new @Conservatives Vice Chair for Youth. A relief on my 36th birthday to still be eligible to represent young members and recruit lots more! Looking forward to working with @OliverDowden and @Young_Tories

    Pleased to hear that the PM has got a #BrexitDeal. Looking forward to voting for it when it comes to the House this weekend.

    This Black History Month I've written for the Mail on Sunday about aspiration, opportunity and the unfortunate reality of racism in some parts of the 'progressive' left.
    BIM AFOLAMI MP: Left's hypocrisy on racial equality is very damaging

    If you doubt what I say,take what Margaret Hodge (Jewish Labour MP) has said to his face - that Corbyn is “an antisemite and racist”. I hear the same thing in private from MPs from all sides. I am embarrassed that we have such a man as Leader of Her Majesty’s Official Opposition.

    Sad day for Hong Kong. China's decision to enact this legislation constitutes a clear & serious breach of the Joint Declaration. UK will not look the other way. We will uphold our historic responsibilities & we will proceed to honour our commitment to those holding BNO status.
