I’m a huge football fan, as is my son and we’ve been following the World Cup closely now that it’s kicked off! There’s also a bit of extra fun (and competition!) locally with a friendly sweepstake I’m running with 48 local businesses to raise money for Lingen Davies!
Great to meet with Wrexham, Shropshire & Midlands Railway & discuss their proposed rail service connecting Telford to London. This link would boost growth & make an immense difference to our town. The Office for Road & Rail is considering the application, & I'll continue to give it my full support.
I am immensely grateful to the brave men and women who have worked so hard in recent weeks to keep Britain safe and strong, and continue to protect us both at home and overseas. On behalf of me and my constituents: thank you.
The situation in the Middle East is fast-moving & deeply concerning. At times like this, false info spreads quickly online, often pushed by hostile actors seeking to scare & divide us. It’s more important than ever to rely on trusted sources like the BBC & question info that can't be verified.
Today marks four years since the invasion of Ukraine. Today, and every day, we stand in solidarity with Ukraine, and we honour the memory of all those whose lives have been taken by this war. We must always stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.
🚆 Yesterday marked a major step forward for Telford rail services as West Midlands Trains and London Northwestern returned to public ownership. Public ownership ensures services our trains are run in the interests of passengers, not shareholders.
✍️ by me in Parliament News on the sorry state of 5G in Telford, and the battle to even get that recognised. If you live in Telford and have experienced poor 5G connectivity, I want to hear from you. Email me at shaun.davies.mp@parliament.uk parliamentnews.co.uk/poor-connect...
Poor connectivity is failing towns like Telford – and so is denial | Parliament Politics Magazine
Telford, the town I call home and am proud to represent, is growing. By 2032, our local authority is projected to hit 200,000 people, which will be 12.5%

This Labour Government is pro-business, pro-worker and pro-family.
Yesterday, the Labour Government set out how Telford and Wrekin Council will get an extra £66.6m to spend on services right here in Telford. Every year I was Council Leader we saw government cut after government cut, now we are seeing record investment into our Borough. 🧵
A game-changing investment. I look forward to working with the Govt and Telford & Wrekin Council to make this happen and change the lives of SEND pupils.
This investment will change lives. It'll go towards bespoke, calming spaces to help children with additional needs get the support they need at a good, local school on their doorstep. Labour is building schools where every child can achieve and thrive. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
My heart goes out to the loved ones of this brave serviceman. A reminder of the risks that our brave men and women take every day.
Putting #Telford at the Heart of Britain’s Defence Industry I’ve taken Telford’s defence growth ambitions straight to the Ministry of Defence, alongside Leader of Telford & Wrekin Council Lee Carter.
A lot to reflect on from today’s Budget. Here are some of the key highlights. 🧵
Telford Deserves Cancer Care Close to Home. Today, I was honoured and proud to host the launch the Sunflower Campaign by @lingendavies.bsky.social in Parliament — joined by The Rt. Hon. Wes Streeting MP who spoke powerfully about the need to improve access to cancer care.
I'm proud to support this Government's Hillsborough Law.
Almost 100 military homes in Telford will benefit from this Government's Defence Housing Strategy.
Defence Housing Strategy: higher standards for veterans and serving personnel, better value for the taxpayer.
£8bn for the economy, 20,000 jobs, strengthening NATO. Defence delivering for Britain.
I was honoured to have a room named after me at the Local Government Association headquarters recently. As a former Chair and current Vice-President of the LGA, it means a lot to me to have this lasting connection.
