Earlier this week, I called for a joined-up, neuro-optimal pathway to care for those with neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease, MS, ME, and CFS.
The Govt must do more to support those with neurological conditions by implementing a coherent national strategy.

Liberal Democrats are fighting to save the high street AND cut your cost of living.
Our plan would cut your energy bills, slash VAT for hospitality, and put £270 back in your pocket.

With just a week left to go until the Budget, I have put together my requests for the Chancellor.
I hope that next week the Government will address some of the issues to help move our region, and country, forward.
Tiverton and Minehead cannot be ignored again.

Currently, only £3 billion is allocated to NHS dentistry in England, providing care for just half the population.
The Govt must increase the budget for NHS dentistry and end the shameful reality of #DIYDentistry.

The Govt's insistence on pushing through with the #FamilyFarmTax will do immense damage to communities across Tiverton and Minehead.
Ahead of the Budget, I will continue to press the Govt to change course, just as we did successfully with the U-turn on the Winter Fuel Payment.

A trip to the pub or fish and chips on a Friday shouldn't be an unaffordable luxury for hard-working people.

🚨🎉CAMPAIGN WIN - I am pleased that Allied Pharmacies have agreed to take over multiple Jhoots premises across the constituency.
This is welcome news, as Jhoots' closures have put a strain on other local pharmacies.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

On Remembrance Day, we remember all those - past and present - who fought and died for our freedom and future.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Whenever Reform are in control, their first instinct is to go after the most vulnerable.
If this is what happens when they run a council, just imagine them running the country.

In an area like ours, where people are often equidistant from multiple hospitals, it is unfathomable that patients are unable to access care due to cross-county borders.
Today, I called on the Govt to implement a clear system to allow for seamless cross-border referrals.
