About 5 per cent of pregnancies are affected by pre-eclampsia, which can be extremely dangerous for both mother and fetus.

The UK was instrumental in creating the ECHR.

Now the Council of Europe is ready to reform it we should be leading that conversation, not walking away from it.

Leaving the ECHR now would be a profound mistake.

As a university city, Bath has seen a huge rise in HMOs.
This is putting strain on local communities & deepening the housing crisis.

I welcome @bathnes.bsky.social work to limit the impact of HMOs, including the existing 10% cap on conversions in certain areas.

Detecting cancer early is vital, but it must be followed up by effective and fast treatment.

I fully support introducing Zoe's check, making it mandatory to test removed moles for skin cancer so we can catch this disease early.

Early detection and fast treatment saves lives.
