Yesterday, I was pleased to have got #Surrey County Council to U-turn on refusing to reply to MPs about home to school transport, school places and special educational needs casework. But this isn’t a battle we should have had to fight in the first place!

Lack of support for children with special educational needs and disabilities commonly known as SEND, is one of the biggest issues in my postbag as #Woking’s MP. Yet Tory-run #Surrey County Council is refusing to reply to MPs about SEND! 😡

I visited #Woking’s Shah Jahan Mosque earlier today to talk about my recent trip to Israel and Palestine. I will use this recent experience to ensure the British Government plays its part in pushing for peace in the region - will report back more soon!

During a visit to a hospital in #Ukraine, I meet Volodymyr who lost his leg in a drone strike - but there’s a shortage of prosthetics. I heard that 25% of deaths could be preventable - but there’s a blood supply shortage. I will press our Government to give more medical aid.

Trump & Vance’s behaviour with Zelenskyy just now was disgraceful.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

This has allowed Waverley to expand community support & grants by 10%, when many other councils are having to cut them.

I’ve criticised the Conservatives running @surreycc.gov.uk for seeking to cancel their elections in May this year - people in #Woking and across #Surrey have a right to hold those in power to account.
An extraordinary Full Council meeting is just beginning at the council’s headquarters in Reigate. Councillors will be discussing the government’s English Devolution White Paper published in December. Watch the meeting live or playback after: orlo.uk/2UVzy

These findings show just how much carers contribute to our society, but also how hard it is for carers to get the support they need.

The government now needs to fully recognise the critical role carers play and end the years of neglect under the Conservatives.
