Yesterday, I welcomed members of Basingstoke’s Nepalese community and Gurkha veterans to Parliament. Gurkhas have served our country with extraordinary courage and sacrifice. It is time the long-standing issue of Gurkha pensions was resolved.

On Friday I brought together local nature groups, the council, the Environment Agency, wildlife trusts and water companies to start working out what's next for our environment. I want cleaner rivers, protected habitats and a real plan to restore nature across Basingstoke.

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Liz, a local RAF veteran, public speaker and author. We spoke about how we can do more locally to support veterans in Basingstoke, but also how we can inspire the next generation through our cadets.

I wake up every day, as I think all my Labour colleagues do, thinking about how can we push that change faster, how can we get government to go quicker. aboutbasingstoke.com/nhs-capacity...

We have some brilliant cadet forces across Basingstoke. I asked the Veterans Minister to join me in paying tribute to all of them & how the Government is supporting cadets and adult volunteers.

Happy Pride Month 2026 to everyone in Basingstoke & beyond. There is so much to be proud of and so much to celebrate. But across the world, hard-won rights are being challenged. So we must keep fighting for a future where everyone can live freely, safely & with dignity.

A week of good economic news for Britain. Inflation is down. Growth is above expectations. The economy is in a stronger position. There is still more to do to bring down costs for families in Basingstoke, but Labour is delivering the stability our economy needs.

Luke Murphy MP @lukemurphy.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Raised Basingstoke healthcare priorities with Health Minister @skinnock.bsky.social last week, including pressures on GP access, the case for Neighbourhood Health Centres, and personal care plans, something I have been supporting a constituent on recently.

You don’t fix a fossil fuel crisis by doubling down on fossil fuels. I'm proud the Gov is breaking the link between gas & electricity prices and speeding up clean power at home... that’s how you deliver energy security & stable bills.

Wishing everyone across Basingstoke a happy Easter. A good moment to pause, spend time with loved ones and enjoy a bit of spring sunshine.

1/2 Do you need help with a local issue? We’ve been helping a lot of people across Basingstoke this month. From chasing GP appointments, to supporting people with debt, to dealing with ongoing issues like antisocial behaviour - no two cases are the same, but they all matter.

England’s chalk streams are among the rarest habitats on Earth & a crucial part of our natural heritage. In Basingstoke we are lucky to have beautiful rivers like the River Loddon. I believe securing UNESCO World Heritage status for chalk streams would build on the protections Government has made.

The only route to long term energy security for our country is through cheap clean power that we control here at home, not dependence on international fossil fuel markets that we don’t control.

Today in the Treasury Select Committee I asked the Chancellor how the Government is preparing to protect households and businesses from potential energy bill shocks caused by instability in global markets.
