Really good news for Farnborough 👏
40 skilled local jobs have been secured at QinetiQ’s headquarters in Farnborough thanks to a new £205 million contract to support the RAF’s Typhoon aircraft.
Farnborough has a proud, world-leading history in aerospace, and it matters that QinetiQ was born out of this town’s defence and research heritage. From those roots to today’s headquarters at Cody Technology Park, this investment shows that Farnborough’s expertise is still central to keeping the country safe.
This contract helps make sure RAF Typhoon aircraft are ready to protect our skies and support our allies, while backing skilled jobs and local families right here in our community.
I will always stand up for investment that protects local jobs and builds on Farnborough’s proud aerospace legacy.

🚨NHS waiting lists at Frimley Park Hospital have fallen by over 19,000. That means thousands more people getting the care they need sooner, and less time spent waiting in uncertainty.
This is a really encouraging milestone for patients across our community.
This progress reflects the commitment of our NHS staff locally, backed by investment from this Labour government to modernise and rebuild our health service for the future.
There is still work ahead, but this is genuine progress for Aldershot, Farnborough, Yateley, Blackwater and Hawley - and one I will keep pushing to build on.

It was really exciting to introduce artists and makers from across Aldershot and Farnborough to our Arts Council England representatives this week at a special roundtable.
They were clearly impressed, and I’m pleased to say that they have committed to champion the arts in our towns, and to help develop our creative industries and invest in our vibrant and growing cultural community.
It’s the start of what I hope will be a very fruitful relationship. Big thanks to ACE, HCT, Rushmoor Borough Council and the West End Centre for making it possible.

Waiting lists are coming down.
Since July 2024, NHS waiting lists are down by over 300,000, including a fall of 86,000 in November alone, despite record demand and a tough winter.
This progress is down to the hard work of NHS staff and this Government's plan to modernise and invest in our NHS.
There's still more to do, but this shows we are turning the NHS around and getting it back on its feet. ... See MoreSee Less

People sometimes tell me our towns have lost their purpose or ask, “Why does defence still matter here?”
That couldn't be further from the truth.
From the world-class defence being made in Farnborough and deployed in Ukraine, to Aldershot, the Home of the British Army, with thousands of serving personnel - our towns still play a vital role in protecting our nation.
Defence helps shape our towns: our jobs, skills, and the opportunities for the next generation.
These are places built on purpose. I will always champion them and ensure that, as we deliver for the nation, we deliver for our communities too 💚

Grateful to hear directly from parents across our community about the reality of getting support for their children at the SEND roundtable I hosted yesterday.
SEND reform matters. As the Government prepares to publish its White Paper, I want to make sure families’ voices from our community help shape what comes next.
Thank you to all the parents who shared their experiences. If you would like to share yours, the Government’s online consultation is still open until Wednesday 14 January 👇

It was great to meet the young entrepreneurs taking part in Farnborough’s Young Business Showcase. A special thank you to Abigail for the beautiful, handcrafted ballet decoration I bought from Poise & Petals.
It was inspiring to see so many young people showcasing their ideas and talents in Farnborough town centre over the Christmas break. Thank you to the organisers and our Rushmoor Labour councillors for giving them a platform!
