Cutting red tape "on ponds is a win for nature, farmers, and rural communities. That is what my bill will fix. Let’s bring common sense..."
Ahead of her Private Members Bill, @SWDevonRebecca writes for @politicshome.
Keir Starmer’s Chagos surrender belongs on the ash heap of history.
If that’s where it now finds itself, it’s because Conservatives led the fight against it from day one.

Holding this shambolic Labour government to account in the Commons today over their disastrous handling of business rates.
Huge increases for pubs, retail, hospitality and leisure.
Government tone deaf on the damage they are doing to our high streets.
🚨 Why do Labour HATE pubs?
They are being battered. I spoke to one landlord who will see his business rates TRIPLE.
Now it’s revealed Rachel Reeves is blocking new financial support for pubs.
She lives on another planet, without any idea about the chaos she has created.
For 14 months, the Conservatives have told the Government again and again the terrible impact of this vindictive tax. For 14 months, they have dismissed farmers' concerns out of hand, relying on dodgy numbers and refusing to acknowledge the harm their taxes are causing.
Today, they finally conceded that they were wrong. This announcement, while welcome, does not undo the months of distress, pain, and panic, in rural communities.
Farmers will not forgive Labour or forget just because of a partial u-turn. They know it is only the Conservatives who will scrap the Family Farm and Family Business Taxes in their entirety.
I again spoke out against the Chagos Islands “deal”.
It betrays British Chagossians & risks one of the world’s most pristine marine environments.
Labour’s forcing this through, handing £35bn of taxpayers’ money to Mauritius with no guarantees on protection or rights.

Long live the cause of freedom!"
As we celebrate the success of the Allied forces 80 years ago, we must never forget their service and the service of all those who have come since.
Wow, Wow, Wow! What a sight! A truly stunning display along Hoylake Promenade.
This marks the start of our local VE80 commemorations and celebrations. #VE80 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
We should always buy British, but we can’t do that if British businesses are closing.
Under Labour, inflation is up, growth is down, and the Jobs Tax is crushing companies.
Only a vote for the Conservatives can stop Labour hiking your council tax too.
A productive day in Wirral West, engaging with our dedicated farmers. Widespread support and significant concern expressed regarding the government’s ludicrous proposals ! #SupportOurFarmers
@KemiBadenoch predicted that Labour would trash our economy!
Starmer and his Liebour government are choking the life out of business.
Why? Because they don’t get that government doesn’t create growth, business does.
The Labour government treats farmers with contempt.
First the #FamilyFarmTax, now withdrawing an important scheme without warning.
Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves do not care about rural communities.
Businesses which have been in the family for generations risk being lost forever.
Farmers who work the land to put good quality food on our plates risk loosing everything.
UK food production is at risk of being severely negatively impacted.
Food prices are at risk of increasing.
This cruel Labour government must listen.
Their choice impacts us all. They must axe the #FamilyFarmTax
We won’t back down.
Thank you @MandyMolby for another fabulous event, raising funds for @maggieswirral charity in Clatterbridge who support people across Merseyside and Cheshire.
A lovely afternoon @HillbarkHotel with Alison and Jenny
