MP for North East Hampshire
Another busy week in Parliament and in #NorthEastHampshire. This week, I:

🏃 Cheered on Stepping Stones DS Ambassador, Lloyd on the 3rd day of his triathlon for BBC Children In Need

💧 Spoke about protecting chalk stream rivers, during a debate on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill.
November 16, 2025 at 5:32 PM
A constituent who has prostate cancer is crocheting these Moustaches in his chemotherapy sessions to raise awareness men's health issues.

Movember has taken off as an awareness and fundraising campaign. It takes real strength to talk about personal issues like cancer and mental health.

🏦 It was a real pleasure to open the new Nationwide branch on Fleet high street, which will soon be the only physical bank left in the constituency.

💷 Although banking is increasingly done online, a physical teller can often still be a huge help.

✅ I'm glad to see that the Government has decided to scrap the role of Police and Crime Commissioner - the Lib Dems have been calling for this for years.

💰 They cost tens of millions of pounds, money that could otherwise be used to fund more frontline officers.
November 13, 2025 at 3:23 PM
📢 The Lib Dems are calling for a 5% VAT cut for hospitality venues and for the removal of the renewable levy from people's energy bills.

📈 This would inject £12bn back into high street businesses and put £270 back into people's pockets for them to spend on occasional extras.
November 12, 2025 at 12:40 PM
I welcome the Government's decision to reconsider issuing compensation to #WASPI women.

Hundreds of thousands of women were failed when the age at which they could claim their state pension was changed without their knowledge.

This includes more than 3,000 women in North East Hampshire.

🏃Sport offers fantastic physical, mental, and social benefits. But we heard last week that women and girls are being put off at every level because of the abuse they face.

🤝 The Women and Equalities select committee heard how we must do more to ensure that sport remains open to everyone.
November 11, 2025 at 12:10 PM
We must stand up for a free press, free speech, and a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage’s Britain.

📩 Liberal Democrats leader Ed Davey's letter to the PM:
November 11, 2025 at 9:44 AM
We will remember those who fought and died for our freedom.

It was a pleasure to join the services in Odiham and Fleet today for the services of remembrance.

Nigel Farage wants to take away your rights.

The ECHR has secured our freedoms as we know them, from torture (1978), to the press (1979), to sexual expression (1981), and privacy (2025).

Today, I voted to defend these rights.

👚This morning, MPs are Wearing it Pink in Parliament following Friday's #WearItPink Day, which raises money and awareness for Breast Cancer Now.

🩷In recent decades, we've made amazing progress on breast cancer detection, treatment, and support.

💪Let's not stop now! Together, we can beat cancer.

🎯𝐍𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄!

The Victoria Hall is so close to its fundraising goal of £40,000, having already raised an incredible £38,000 thanks to the wonderful support of the local community.
October 27, 2025 at 3:47 PM
👋Hi North East Hampshire,

Here are a few of the things I got up to this week, including taking questions or concerns raised by many of you to the right people, either in Parliament or in business.
October 26, 2025 at 12:20 PM
(1/2) There is a huge economic opportunity to be had 🤑

By supporting female entrepreneurs, we can unlock more than £250bn of growth, and give our economy the vital boost it needs.
October 22, 2025 at 4:29 PM
Phew! Back to Parliament this week and it's been a hive of activity. This week, I:

👩‍⚕️ Visited Richmond Surgery to learn more about the work they do.

🚓 Met with the Policing Minister to discuss issues raised by constituents including rural crime, speeding, theft and police recruitment.
October 19, 2025 at 5:07 PM
💉 Glad to have received my flu vaccine this week, nice and early ahead of this year's flu season!

💙 Scientists work very hard to to ensure our vaccines are safe and up-to-date.

⭐ Vaccines protect vulnerable members of our community and reduce pressure on our GPs, pharmacies, and hospitals.
October 18, 2025 at 6:18 PM
Earlier this year, the Women and Equalities Committee called on the Government to extend the right to bereavement leave to those who experience pre-24 week pregnancy loss.

Now, the upcoming Employment Rights Bill will realise this change, making crucial respite available when it's needed most.
October 15, 2025 at 5:00 PM
🎉 𝐋𝐈𝐁 𝐃𝐄𝐌 𝐖𝐈𝐍!

🏠 Lib Dems have long been calling for better military homes - and I asked the Minister about this recently.

🪖 Our military personnel and their families make huge sacrifices for our country, and deserve a decent home.

This week started during Conference and ended in the constituency. Here are some of the things I did:
✅Carried the Baton of Hope for a small part of its journey and spoke with others about the stigma around suicide.
✅Spoke on a panel about how to improve wellbeing and the economy.

Parliament is currently on pause for the Conference season. Party conferences are a great chance for us as MPs to listen, to raise issues that are important locally and to share our vision and values.

Here's a little of what I got up to last weekend:
September 26, 2025 at 1:45 PM
There are too many lives lost to suicide.

That's why I was incredibly proud to carry the Baton of Hope today with @inclusioneducation.bsky.social @hartvolaction.bsky.social and others.

We must break the stigma and talk about suicide.

We must have and give #hope.

#SuicidePrevention #BatonOfHope

👋 Hi North East Hampshire! Ahead of party conference this weekend, I wanted to give you all a quick update on what I've been working on over the past couple of weeks:

🪖 Asked the Defence Minister in Parliament to support better homes for our armed forces sooner rather than later.
September 19, 2025 at 10:55 PM
(1) Families need flexibility, our economy needs a boost and many dads want to spend more precious time with their young children.

We could do all of this with an overhaul of our parental leave system.
September 19, 2025 at 4:39 PM
It's appalling that Mandelson was made Ambassador when connections with Epstein were known. This is how victims are silenced.

If we want to protect children against predators we must not put the protectors of paedophiles into positions of power.
September 16, 2025 at 4:00 PM
I'm very pleased to announce that Hart Health Partnership has secured a new 15-year lease for Branksomewood Surgery, in Fleet.

The Partnership has had to fight for over 2.5 years to achieve this, overcoming extensive legal and bureaucratic delays in what's been a very long and challenging process.
