Every month the Stray Ferret tries to find out what our local MPs have been up to in their constituencies and in the House of Commons.

This month, Prime Minister Boris Johnson faced a vote of no confidence from Tory MPs. MPs also voted to override part of the Brexit deal that relates to Northern Ireland.

We asked our three Conservative MPs, Harrogate & Knaresborough’s Andrew Jones, Skipton and Ripon’s Julian Smith, and Selby and Ainsty’s Nigel Adams if they would like to highlight anything in particular that they have been doing this month, but, as usual, we did not receive a response from any of them.

Here is what we know after analysing their online presence.

In Harrogate and Knaresborough, here is what we found out on Mr Jones:

• On June 6, Mr Jones voted against Prime Minister Boris Johnson in his confidence vote.


• Mr Jones spoke twice at Prime Minister's Questions during June. On the 22nd, he urged the Prime Minister to introduce more apprenticeships in the rail industry. Yesterday he asked a question about the government's Access to Work scheme for disabled people.


• Mr Jones had a stand at Starbeck Community Day on June 18 where he spoke with constituents.


• On June 22, Mr Jones met with young people from the charity Barnados in Parliament.


• On June 23, the MP wrote to Home Secretary Priti Patel about "speeding up" measures to evict Travellers who break the law.


• On June 27, Mr Jones voted in favour of the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill, which aims to override part of the government's Brexit deal.
