Constituents who have contacted me regarding Dominic Cummings can rest assured I’ve conveyed the strength of local feeling to relevant colleagues very robustly in Government. I’ll respond to all emails when I’m back in the office after the bank holiday.

For 2.5 years Labour have accused the Conservatives of making people choose between eating and heating.
One of Labour’s first acts in Government is to cancel winter fuel payments for pensioners.
Age UK warns that means testing the winter fuel allowance will hit some of the poorest in society the hardest
They include 800,000 people who are entitled to claim pension credit but do not do so
A further 1million who are just above the threshold for claiming pension credit

Letting dangerous criminals out of prison is not a ‘difficult decision’ it’s a political choice.
When I became Lord Chancellor, I was told that our prisons could overflow at any moment.
