I’ve written a further FOUR letters to government ministers calling for them to act to repair/replace Marsh Lock bridge. Government really needs to get a grip of this. www.henleystandard.co.uk/news/home/19...

I was honoured to open the playground in Stadhampton yesterday - there’s such a great community spirit and well done to the Parish Council for raising the funds for it 👏 I was joined by Georgina Heritage (District Councillor ) and Judith Edwards (Standing for election for the County Council in May)

Today is Rare Disease Day! Rare diseases are individually rare but collectively common, affecting 3.5 million people in the U.K. This Rare Disease Day I am taking part in the #ShowYourStripes campaign to raise awareness of this really important issue.

I raised concerns this week in Parliament about the negative impact Brexit is having on businesses in the Thames Valley. At a recent meeting with business leaders, the overwhelming message was that Brexit has had a detrimental impact on local businesses!

I joined Social Care Providers outside Parliament yesterday to call on the Government to fix the Social Care crisis and exempt care providers from the National Insurance hike. I’m also urging them to complete their social care review within a year, not the three years they have planned!

The Government must now go further and faster on defence spending so we can stand up for #Ukraine and ensure our security against an emboldened Vladimir Putin. 🇬🇧🇺🇦 The @libdems.org.uk have a clear plan. 🔶👇

Hats off to my brilliant Oxfordshire colleague Charlie Maynard for taking Thames Water to court to stop their disastrous bail out that would see more debt piled on and rate payers footing the bill. I was pleased to give my support to the case with a letter of support

Great to chat with the Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce last week. The Tories trashed the economy. Labour have done little to support business so far and have ruled out closer trading ties with Europe Liberal Democrat’s are the only true friends of business in parliament.

The Liberal Democrat led administration at Oxfordshire County Council has delivered a responsible budget that invests in roads and social care. Sadly the Tories tried to block it.

I’m pleased for the town of Watlington to have secured the funding necessary to finally deliver the much needed relief road. Only one final hurdle remains - the planning committee meeting in March. 🤞

Brilliant to visit Thame Sharing Life Trust’s food bank today. Volunteers shared how delays to universal credit claims can create food emergencies for families. It’s great we have such a strong community to step in where government fails.

Trump is behaving like a neo-colonialist. His actions towards Gaza, Canada, Greenland and Panama belong in the 19th century. It is anti-American and we should call it out for what it is.

Donald Trump is acting like a playground bully and is trying to play our allies off against each other. We must stand together against his attempts to divide us.
