Katherine Fletcher is MP for South Ribble

RIP Dame Deborah. Her exceptional campaign to help those living with cancer won the whole nation’s admiration, and started important conversations about living with the ‘big C’.

She leaves behind an incredible legacy, and my thoughts are with her loved ones.

Fantastic news as we kick off the NATO Summit.

Sweden and Finland's membership will make our brilliant alliance stronger and safer. https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1541852496162951170

So there is a lot of rubbish being spouted about the PM’s trip to Ukriane. 1. Firstly these trips are organised in total secrecy. Very few, and i mean very few, people know the dates and arrangements. Russia is still launching missile strikes right across Ukriane . 1/5

Mr President, Volodymyr,

In the first 5 months of 2022 UK tech businesses raised £12.5 billion - half a billion a week. This is 3x Germany, 2x France & we even beat China. The UK globally is 2nd only to the US. Today’s Digital Strategy will show how we plan to go even further https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/nadine-dorries-russ-shaw-france-china-tech-london-advocates-b1005636.html

Fuel prices⛽️

I’ve asked the @CMAgovUK to conduct an urgent review of the retail fuel market, as well as a longer-term investigation under the Enterprise Act.

Fuel prices are always quick to go up but slow to come down - let’s see why.

The pandemic & lockdowns have taken a huge toll on our nation's mental health.

It's long past time that mental health is treated on a par with physical health.

This initiative is a vital next step as we develop our 10-yr plan to level up mental health.

Sad but unsurprising that Wes supports disruption and misery for commuters who want to get on with their lives.

He backs strikers, we back strivers.

Today’s measures mean that on average, the poorest households will now be approximately compensated for the rising cost of living.

Many low earners will be better off this year than last as a result. High earners will still tend to be worse off.

Hugely welcome package of support announced by @RishiSunak today. Having heard from our @CitizensAdvice advisers about the devastating stories of people unable to make ends meet, I know just what a difference these measures will make to those at the sharp end of this crisis

Taiwan played a critical role in sharing information from the very start of the pandemic.

With health threats like this, we're all on the same side.

Today I called on @WHO members to grant Taiwan observer status to the World Health Assembly. #WHA75

My thoughts are with the victims, families and friends of all those affected by the cowardly attack on Manchester Arena five years ago today.

The bravery and defiance shown so courageously by Mancunians in the days that followed shows hatred will never win.

Fantastic turnout at the @LloydsBankBiz @lancschamber International Trade Event - hosted by @K_Fletcher_MP. It was great to hear exporters sharing their experiences, the latest news in international trade and support available for local companies to grow their business overseas🌍
