🗣️ Yesterday I spoke in Parliament about the need for credible action to meet the UK’s carbon budget.
With transport now the largest source of emissions, the government can’t keep ignoring the environmental impact of airport expansion like #Gatwick.

Fascinating to take part in #EvidenceWeek and discuss how publicly funded research can tackle our major challenges, from improving access to essential services to combating climate change.
It was great to meet with Windracers and SeaCURE to hear how they're innovating in their sectors.

This morning, I joined the #ArmisticeDay commemorations in Horsham to remember all those who gave their lives in service, and those who still live with the cost of war.
A reminder of how vital it is that we stand together in the face of division and continue to push for peace today.

🤝 I had an important meeting recently with Horsham campaigner Andrew Turner and Ed Davey to discuss unlocking Child Trust Funds for young people with disabilities.
Andrew has been a tireless advocate on this issue, making his case to eight different justice ministers.

Honoured to plant a tribute in the House of Commons Garden of Remembrance yesterday on behalf of Horsham constituents.
As we approach Remembrance Sunday, we must pause and reflect on the unimaginable courage and sacrifice of so many who have served our country.

Good to catch up with Movember at Lib Dem conference and in Parliament last week.
We're pushing for a mental health strategy that prioritises prevention through early intervention and mental health check-ups at key life points.

🗣️ On Monday, I spoke about the urgent need to tackle court delays.
A constituent in Horsham saw her abuser's trial delayed for two years due to a lack of capacity, by which time they had breached restraining orders twice. Victims deserve so much better than this.

🗣️ The government's target of 10% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) by 2030 is repeatedly used to justify its decisions on major airport expansions like Gatwick. We are calling for real progress towards net-zero aviation and SAF delivers genuine carbon reductions not greenwashing.

I recently joined Duchenne UK in Parliament. I'm pleased that some Horsham patients can now access givinostat through the Early Access Programme.
However, we're still waiting for NICE's final decision on wider NHS approval - a decision that's already been delayed by three months.

I recently visited Freeman Brothers Funeral Directors in Horsham, one of the town's oldest independent businesses, now celebrating its 170th anniversary.
It's great to see the team's long-standing commitment to compassionate care and dignity for local families.
