I love this map. They actually have to expand Cornwall into its own section because we have so many strategically significant critical minerals projects. The map also doesn’t include the dozens of very important supply chain businesses across Cornwall.

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Absolutely delighted to announced a huge funding programme of over £221m for Cornwall’s roads.

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Wes Streeting refreshingly admits that his own previous comments on mental health a few months ago were divisive. Please be kind in any comments you wish to leave. We’re finally talking openly about how we deal with our mental health crisis but need to discuss the scale of the crisis first

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

My question from last week about possible foreign interference in the OBR leak.

010

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

First a BBC Radio Cornwall interview. Then I was back at No 10 Downing St to speak to economic advisors about the massive critical minerals potential in Cornwall. Then a moment of reflection when I planted a cross in the Parliamentary Remembrance Memorial for Camborne, Redruth and Hayle.

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Yesterday began day running 4.5k for Movember. 4.5 signifies the difference in men’s and women’s life expectancies. This was followed by a catch up with Sustainable Foods Cornwall before PMQs. Then back to PCH for the #IPTPoppyride for the Royal British Legion. Finally two Westminster Hall debates.

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Update on the sewage pipe burst in Hayle from the Environment Agency. @sascampaigns.bsky.social

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

Yesterday I raised with the Sec of State for Health Wes Streeting the issue of the appalling NHS treatment of Amy, who came to my constituency surgery and movingly explained how the NHS had let her down. I know there are similar failures that have gone on over the years. We will fix the NHS.

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

Monday began with an all party meeting at DESNZ offices with Energy Minister Michael Shanks, to discuss the huge potential of geothermal in Cornwall and across the UK. Then into the Chamber where I successfully ‘bobbed’ on Education Qs. Then a statement from Home Sec Yvette Cooper.

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

A very long day Friday began with a 4:45am alarm, and a journey back up London for the 3rd day of the Assisted Dying debate. Many, many amendments are being discussed in detail, in an apolitical debate. I will attend, listen and read as much as I can and make my final decision.

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

I am a member of the Labour Rural Research Group. I have met several of our local farmers over recent months as well as local reps, the President and Vice President of the NFU. I’m very pleased that they have welcomed the announcement on ELMs in the Spending Review. Here’s the statement:

010

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

Interesting new analysis: - UK’s solar power surges 42% to a new record, after the sunniest spring on record - For the first time, solar was >10% of UK energy generation in consecutive months (Apr/May 2025) - in 2025, solar has avoided gas imports that would’ve cost £600m.

031

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

Last Thursday was the UK Mining Conference with Cornish Lithium, Cornish Metals, Cornwall Resources and many more. A really important event in the #criticalminerals calendar. So much at stake and so much opportunity for Cornwall if we get this right. First up was Jayne’s speech, then my speech!

010

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

Last Wednesday began with a roundtable business breakfast with the solar industry, hearing from Professor Da Silva. Then to the chamber for the Spending Review (see this week’s Voice and Cornishman articles for my take on it!). Than an interview with Lucy at ITV and some #carersweek drop ins.

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

Exactly what Cornwall needs and what Cornish Labour MPs have been demanding: massive investment in social and truly affordable homes

011

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

Yesterday, having unsuccessfully ‘bobbed’ on 4 questions I finally got called to ask my question. After wishing the Speaker a Happy Birthday (in Cornish, of course!) the Energy Minister Michael Shanks offered to meet me to discuss the potential of Geothermal energy from the Great Cornish batholith.

020

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Some big news from DEFRA. This will be hugely advantageous to the vast majority of Cornish fishing fleet, as they are not bottom trawlers.

011

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

I know this isn’t top of everyone’s agenda, but ensuring the Cornish Language is afforded the same status as the other four UK Celtic languages to me and many others. Over the last few months, I’ve contributed to debates, written parliamentary questions and written directly to Ministers.

020

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

After a constituency surgery Saturday morning at Redruth Community Centre it was off to Fore St for the #murdochday parade led by Tolgus, then the unveiling of the World Origin Site plaque at Murdoch House - a great honour. Pioneers such as Murdoch and Trevithick are so important today.

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Here’s seven things the Labour Government has delivered this week:

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Royal Cornwall Show last Friday with excellent meetings with NFU VP David Exwood along with NFU Mutual Central Cornwall rep Andrew Richards and colleagues about a range of topics. Also spoke to Jeremy Wrathall from Cornish Lithium at the CLA tent and Julie Skentelbury from BBC Radio Cornwall

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Vast majority of new build homes to be fitted with solar panels as standard 🚨

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Labour Govt ban unfair bonuses for polluting water bosses 🚨 - Labour Govt’s new Water Act will ban unfair bonuses for 6 water companies with immediate effect - Under Conservatives, water bosses awarded themselves £112m in bonuses - More updates on more water companies soon.

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

South West has the highest sickness absence in the country. We need to be providing all the support needed to get people out of sickness and back to work.

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Thursday morning in Westminster and two Commons Chamber questions: one about UK’s critical mineral production resilience and the other about a new report showing South West has the highest work sickness rates in the country. Then on the train home, following up on actions from a busy last 3 days.

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Ahead of this week’s Spending Review, last week BBC Spotlight News picked up on my Westminster Hall speech about ensuring remote coastal areas like Cornwall, with higher levels of poverty, are recognised with fairer funding.

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

This is simply huge news: millions of the poorest parents and children will begin to benefit from free school meals. Children with full tummies can concentrate for longer, learn more easily and achieve better outcomes. This is why I am a Labour MP. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Busy Wednesday last week. First a breakfast #geothermal meeting with @jaynekirkhammp.bsky.social & @noahlawmp.bsky.social. Then into a Westminster Hall debate (see previous posts). Then PMQs and a quick drop in to see Penpol School followed by several drop in meetings on a range of topics.

001

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Then after the Westminster Hall debate (see prev. post), directly in the Chamber to Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones. I am making the case firmly but fairly that Cornwall’s distinct financial pressures must be recognised in funding (which is derived from the under-review Green Book). 2/2

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Sometimes it’s necessary to speak out publicly. Last week I put pressure on the Treasury to differentiate between legacy funding models between ‘urban constituencies’ (Surrey, Hampshire, Cheshire) and ‘remote coastal communities’ like Cornwall. So first in a morning Westminster Hall debate…1/2

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

Forgot to mention it was a Hayle RFC tie day yesterday!

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Had a brilliant catch up with Transport Minister @heidialexander.bsky.social ahead of the Bus Bill, before an amazing and insightful discussion with service users from Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change. Then into the Chamber for the Strategic Defence Review. Finally a Labour Growth Group dinner.

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Yesterday we debated the first massive increase in defence spending for decades, with the publication of the Strategic Defence Review to combat the rears from the likes of Putin’s Russia I raised the fact that our critical mineral security is best served by domestic production in Cornwall.

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

Saturday began with a surgery at Carnkie Community Institute and discussions with constituents about the financial ombudsman, housing, renewables, immigration and healthcare amongst others. Then over to Penzance for a cracking final Cornish Pirates match of the season.

010

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

Finally got to WES Engineering in Redruth first thing Friday morning to meet James Gazzard and his team. Huge numbers of current or ex-apprenticeships employed, interesting and diverse customer base and one overriding takeaway for me: Skills, skills and skills for Cornwall.

010

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

CALLING ALL SCHOOLS IN CAMBORNE, REDRUTH & HAYLE: UK Parliament Week is taking place between 24-30 Nov 2025. It is an amazing opportunity to learn more about the UK Parliament, what it does and how as well as more insight into what we members get up to. www.ukparliamentweek.org/en/sign-up/.

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

Latest surgery dates and locations over the next 4 weeks. I try to do a rotation of: Camborne, Redruth, Hayle, then a village within the Constituency. I can’t get everywhere but do feel free to drop my office an email on the address below, if you want to get in touch.

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

Last week I met with new Cornwall Council leader Leigh Frost. I made it clear that as a Cornish MP, I am keen to work collaboratively and across Party lines (Leigh is a Lib Dem) to ensure the very best outcomes possible. We had an open, frank and encouraging discussion about our shared priorities

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

The success of Cornwall College is quite simply essential to the success of the Cornish economy and the regeneration of Cornish communities. It was an absolute pleasure to showcase our ‘Outstanding’ College to Skills Minister Jacqui Smith. The College has some really exciting plans in the works.

010

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

This is really exciting tidal technology from a Cornish company already deploying all over the world. Tidal is yet another renewable energy source where Cornwall is ideally placed to play a significant part in our transition away from fossil fuels.

010

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

Another properly good news story that broke over the weekend is that Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust is one of 28 NHS Trusts that’s going to get upgrades to radiotherapy machines. This is part of a £70m investment and the upgrades are part of a broader plan to improve cancer care.

011

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

This is something I’m passionate about. I know folk want us to move further and faster but we have a clear strategy to force the Water Companies to bring down bills and clean up their act. Or we’ll fine the businesses and criminally charge the bosses.

010

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

First during Sarah Jones’ recent visit was a roundtable at Imerys British Lithium with attendance from industry leaders across the critical minerals and FlOW sectors. Then a brief tour of South Crofty with Cornish Metals followed by a BBC interview and meetings at Camborne School of Mines!

000

Perran Moon MP @perranmoonmp.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

Minister for Critical Minerals @sarahjonesmp.bsky.social came to Cornwall recently and got a clear insight into Cornwall’s industrial potential and why we should be tasked with driving the UK plc’s domestic critical mineral production.
