I'm angry that we’ve not been given the full picture. National Grid is planning to build a massive electricity power hub between Ellesmere and Oswestry that could cover tens of acres and permanently scar this part of North Shropshire.

Corridor care has hit a record high, and winter hasn't even started yet. In September, an average of more than 3,300 patients a day were treated in A&E corridors or on wards without a proper bed space. That's almost 100,000 times in a single month. 🧵

This time last month our phones were alerting us to the real and heightened risk of wildfires. The emergency alert came through loud and clear to most, but North Shropshire residents living close to the Wales border have told me they only received the message in Welsh.

Livestock farmers in North Shropshire this summer have already endured soaring costs, drought pressures and falling returns. Now they're facing the devastating impact of Bluetongue, with movement restrictions disrupting businesses.

Rural communities are being short-changed. ❌ Underfunded schools ❌ Mounting pressure on social care ❌ Urban councils given more ❌ Fewer opportunities for young people ❌ Fewer bus services ❌Higher costs of delivering in remote areas

A devolution deal for Shropshire? Questioning the Prime Minister on his first day back, I asked him to elaborate on his devolution plans, and explain when our county would get the powers and resources needed to help turn around life chances for people across North Shropshire.

Drug dealing, anti-social behaviour, the state of the roads, traffic problems, and much more. It’s been good to hear from people across North Shropshire this summer about the issues that concern them most.

Imagine having to give birth in a layby because the hospital's too far? That's the reality facing women in Devon & across the country. @andyburnham.bsky.social will you listen to families & make sure hospitals aren't short staffed & by stopping maternity units closing in our communities?

My Summer Tour is underway! I'll be calling in at some of the markets across our beautiful market towns, as well as holding more formal public meetings, so that I can meet as many people as possible over the coming weeks.

The system delivering Personal Independence Payments (PIP) is broken. But they can provide vital support for people living with various serious conditions.

After so many reviews, recommendations and the delayed publication of corridor care statistics, the Government needs to act fast to bring maternity and hospital safety up to scratch.

Yesterday was our final session of line-by-line scrutiny of the Health Bill. We have been fighting at Committee Stage to amend the Government's Health Bill for provisions for patients, staff, carers and our NHS to be as good as possible.

Helen Morgan MP @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Yesterday was Keir Starmer's final PMQs. I asked the Prime Minister to urge his successor to finally recognise the needs of rural areas and bring in a fair deal for North Shropshire.

Corridor care costs lives. Last week in the Health Bill Committee, Danny Chambers and I debated our new clauses to improve the bill, including ending corridor care, introducing a Maternity Commissioner, protecting patient voice and safety, and proposals for a Health Data Charter.

Helen Morgan MP @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

The Deputy Prime Minster's response today was concerning. We cannot afford for road schemes like the roundabout proposed for the A483 at Llynclys to be the fall guy, just to shore up the Government's underfunded and late Defence Investment Plan.

Schoolchildren in North Shropshire are being short-changed by more than £2,000 – each! Schools here get just £6,556 per pupil funding from the Government, compared to the national average of £8,580.

Helen Morgan MP @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

The Amos Report confirms our worst fears, and what we already knew. Maternity services are failing women and babies and political neglect has left maternity services broken, with families paying the price in trauma, injury and lost lives.

Lovely to be invited to reopen a bridge at Bronygarth village, near Oswestry recently, after complex works to ensure its future safety were completed. The village was split in two when the bridge was severely damaged during winter storms in 2024, so it was good to see residents finally reunited.

Helen Morgan MP @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Enough is enough. The maternity failings in Shropshire shocked us all. But the same failures have been repeated over and over. Today must be the moment we say no more - no more women should be made to give birth on an unsafe ward.

This morning I met up with Shropshire Councillors Rosie Radford and James Owen to listen to residents in the Brownlow Road area in Ellesmere. Thank you to everyone who took the time to talk us.

This isn’t just a rip off, it’s an accident waiting to happen. I’ve received several complaints from people in North Shropshire about the poor experience they’ve had with property management firm FirstPort. I’m pleased the Minister agreed to meet to sort out the company's poor performance.

After a six-hour evidence session on Tuesday and our first session of line-by-line scrutiny on Thursday, my work on the Public Bill Committee for the new Health Bill is well underway.

Early concept designs for a roundabout at Llynclys crossroads on the A483 have been produced, and on Friday I discussed these and the recent survey works with National Highways.

Earlier this week I met with carers who came to Parliament in support of this year's Carers Week, and heard first-hand about the vital role they play. This year’s theme, Building Carer Friendly Communities, is about making sure carers are recognised, valued and supported.

Last night the Government said no to Railways Bill amendments that would mean: ❌️ trains running on time ❌️ good seating ❌️ reliable Wi-Fi ❌️ clean toilets

Wes said it himself - we need actions and not just words. Yet 18 months later there's still no data. It's just not good enough - I'm not sure 'shortly' really cuts it anymore. We need the data, and a plan to end the national disgrace of corridor care.

Helen Morgan MP @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Nearly 16,000 deaths associated with long A&E waits is an outrage. The Government said it would publish reliable data on long waits and corridor care by the end of May, but we're still waiting. What are they trying to hide?

I want Wem to have a Banking Hub and today I brought LINK to the town to see why it's so important. Their current criteria that drives the decision on whether to grant a Hub or not fail to take into account the realities of living, working and operating a business in a rural market town.

Visiting the RSH today, it’s clear that there have been improvements and I was pleased to see the impressive new facilities, which are already making a real difference in faster diagnosis and treatment.

When I met with the Joel family at their Maesbury Marsh farm last week I was struck by their enthusiasm and just how brave they are to have entered the dairy sector.

The overall cost of rural crime across the country fell in 2025, but the NFU Mutual's latest Rural Crime Report also worryingly shows that reports of agricultural vehicle theft rose by almost a fifth.

This evening I voted for single living military accommodation to be brought up to the Decent Homes Standard. Unfortunately Labour, the Tories and Reform all refused to support this.

Helen Morgan MP @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

The Government’s Health Bill doesn’t fix the problems patients actually face. Too many people still can’t get a GP appointment, A&E waits are rising, and social care is in crisis - yet the focus is on shuffling responsibility around Whitehall and centralising power, not on frontline care.

174 7

Helen Morgan MP @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

May has come and gone and the Government continues to delay publishing data on the corridor care crisis, failing to keep to their own deadline. Today I wrote to the Health Secretary, urging him to set out a clear, firm deadline to publish this data.

I joined Cllr Robert Jones in Yeaton to meet residents and discuss the problems with traffic and speeding along the lanes in the area. I’m really concerned about the impact of the planned developments in and around Baschurch. New housing must be accompanied by the right infrastructure.

The Government is currently reviewing its Banking Hub eligibility criteria - sign my petition and together we can call for better banking facilities for Ellesmere and Wem. North Shropshire's towns have so much untapped potential, but the lack of banking services holds them back.

The company in charge of emptying our public bins across North Shropshire have told me that issues will be resolved by 1st June. If that's not the case, and rubbish is still overflowing, let me know and together we'll make sure Kier plc deliver an effective service.

I had a really good discussion with the students of Lakelands Academy in Ellesmere about their experiences of using social media and it was great to hear their views. The Government’s national consultation on social media is running until the end of May.

Businesses keep telling me - banking in market towns just isn’t doesn't work for them. There’s nowhere to open or manage accounts, sign documents, get advice, or sort problems face‑to‑face. Online and phone banking simply isn’t enough for many rural businesses.

When park home owners sell their homes, they are hit with an outdated and unfair 10% sales commission, which strips value from people’s only home and life savings, and is something that also impacts rural and high‑cost areas.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported my fundraising efforts ahead of tomorrow's London Marathon, I'm so grateful. It will mean so much to both Lingen Davies and Hope House, and will definitely spur me on through the miles! 🙏🏃‍♀️

Accident victims are being misled by fake insurance ads in search results. The Government must stop 'paid ad spoofing', where drivers are tricked into dealing with rogue firms, left facing huge bills. Fraud is not victimless – honest motorists pay the price. Tech platforms and regulators must act.

Helen Morgan MP @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

Sign my petition - and email your experiences 👇️ Wem was recently turned down for a Banking Hub, after LINK decided local access to cash was good enough. But for many businesses, banking is about far more than just cash.

The Liberal Democrats recently called for a maternity rescue plan, including a commissioner, guaranteed one‑to‑one midwife care during labour, and a consultant on maternity wards 24/7. Warm words aren’t enough when the lives of women and babies are at stake. It’s time for action.

This week the Government handed the failed Project Gigabit fibre broadband contract to Openreach, after Freedom Fibre pulled the plug on delivering fast connections to thousands in North Shropshire. While a solution is good, this risks pushing rural communities to the back of the queue yet again.
