Thank you to everyone who joined me in my constituency office yesterday for a roundtable on dyslexia and neurodivergence. It was a thoughtful and honest discussion with local teachers, parents and specialists who see the challenges in our schools every day.

We spoke about universal screening, proper teacher training, and how we build an education system that truly supports every child.
As someone with severe dyslexia and ADHD, this work means a great deal to me. When we listen and work together, we can make lasting change.

We heard powerful lived experience and drew on the expertise of the British Dyslexia Association, Dyscalculia Network, Ambitious about Autism, Speech and Language UK and others.
Delighted that @eddavey.libdems.org.uk, Leader of the @libdems.org.uk, could join us and take part.

I met with residents, Cllrs & reps from @somersetcouncil.bsky.social & @nationalhighways.bsky.social at the Eagle Tavern Junction to discuss long-standing safety & congestion concerns.
Thank you to everyone who attended — I’ll keep working with local councils to push for improvements to this route.

Good news – from 29/11, the West of England Line between London Waterloo & Exeter St Davids will return to an hourly service, meaning more regular trains stopping at Crewkerne & Yeovil Junction.
It’s a big win for our communities and for everyone who relies on the line.

I met Honeywell in Parliament to hear about their work in Yeovil and beyond.
As one of Yeovil’s largest employers, Honeywell plays a key role in our local economy & the UK’s aerospace industry.
Great to discuss how we can keep supporting innovation, investment & skilled jobs.

I was pleased to join The Speaker and colleagues from across the House to mark 75 years since the rebuilding of the Chamber after its destruction in the Second World War.
A powerful reminder of our resilience and democracy.

Last week I attended a drop-in on Churchill Time — a proposal to move the clocks forward by an hour all year.
It could save households over £400, boost wellbeing and road safety, and add billions to the economy.
A simple idea to make better use of daylight.

Great to pop down to The Mad Hatter in Yeovil on Friday. What a great display of costume props for Halloween we are so lucky to still have a shop like this. It’s one of a kind.

Farmers across Somerset are already struggling after one of the hardest years in memory — the Government’s refusal to reverse the unfair Family Farm Tax is a real blow.

A date has finally been set for the re-opening of Yeovil Maternity Unit – 21 April 2026.
While this is welcome news, it’s still a long way off. I’ll keep holding the Trust to account to make sure services return safely and without further delay.

This morning I joined @gideonamos.bsky.social & the Somerset SEND Army at County Hall to call for better support for children with SEND.
The system is failing too many families — I’ve raised this in Parliament many times and will keep fighting for change. Every child deserves the chance to thrive.

Too many children with dyslexia still miss out on early support – that must change.

Great to meet young people from Preston School, Yeovil, at #LibDemConf with @youngenterprise.bsky.social.

I’ve raised this before and will keep raising it. My constituents – some as young as 11 – want Britain to do more to protect peace and get aid into Gaza. I will continue to hold the Government to account.

I spoke to Richard Lawrence of @itvnews.bsky.social about how the closure of Yeovil’s maternity unit is leaving newly qualified midwives in limbo.
They want to stay in Somerset, but without a clear plan, we risk losing them.
I’ll keep fighting to bring services back.

He responded positively—and I’ll be following up. GPs and patients in Chard deserve better.
