In my latest piece in the #Woking News and Mail, I report back on my debate in Parliament to better protect vulnerable children, how I’m standing up to big property management companies and campaigning to improve our underfunded school buildings.

The Cranston Inquiry finds Channel deaths could have been prevented. To stop more deaths, we need to cooperate far more closely with Europe, make sure the coastguard has the resources and confidence to do its job, and bring control to our asylum system.

Great to visit Inno-lite in Old #Woking, a specialist lighting firm that literally brightens up our town.
I'll be taking forward their concerns, echoed by many local businesses, about rising costs, National Insurance, global freight disruption and post-Brexit border delays.

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz Birkenau. My thoughts are with the Jewish community in #Woking and beyond.
I have signed the Holocaust Book of Commitment, pledging to remember those persecuted by the Nazis - we must never forget.

This week, I attended Age UK’s event in Parliament about corridor care. A shocking 9,793 patients waited 12 hours or more in corridors at A&Es in #Surrey in 2025. The @libdems.org.uk have a plan to tackle this by making 6,000 extra hospital beds available to end corridor care.
