BUDGET RESPONSE
I welcome the news that the Chancellor is finally going to scrap the Tories cruel two-child benefit cap. I have been campaigning on this for a long time, and it will have a huge and positive impact on struggling families in Eastleigh and across Hampshire.

At the debate on supporting our high streets I urged the Government to take action to revive our high streets, restore pride in our towns and put small businesses at the centre of Britain’s economic recovery. Reform didn’t even bother to show up to the debate.

We just stopped Nigel Farage’s plan to drag Britain out of the ECHR and tear up people’s rights. Farage wanted to scrap Churchill’s legacy and bring us closer to Trump's America.

On Tuesday evening I was honoured to hold a debate on Support for Disabled Veterans in the House of Commons. Our disabled veterans deserve our gratitude and respect. They should not have to fight for support and care.

Eastleigh MP @lizjarvis.bsky.social has raised her constituent's case in Parliament and is calling on the Government to "rethink" how Personal Independence Payment rules apply to veterans.
The Lib Dem tells me she thinks Mark Houghton MBE has been "treated so badly".

I’ve signed this letter calling on Keir Starmer to rethink his plans for mandatory digital ID. A mandatory digital ID system risks deepening digital exclusion. It would disproportionately affect older people, disabled people, and those living in poverty.
