Comms. Liberal. Local activist and change maker. 🔶
Labour's #ASGSF cuts are a slap in the face for adopters, special guardians & the most vulnerable in Wandsworth + beyond.

While this Labour govt stoops to a new low, @munirawilson.bsky.social & the @libdems.org.uk are standing up for those who need it the most.
Extremely disappointed that during the Easter break, ministers have slipped out cuts in support for the most vulnerable children from the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund. I have written to Bridget Phillipson to call for these changes to be reversed immediately 👇🏽

An absolutely wonderful @libdems.org.uk conference in Harrogate.

Several important motions passed, that will make our party stronger, and countless insightful conversations. 💪🔶

The behaviour shown by Trump and Vance towards President Zelenskyy today is nothing short of a disgrace.

It is more clear than ever that the free world needs new leadership.

The UK and our European allies must step up and lead. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

Today was a terrible day for diplomacy.

Trump trying to strong arm Zelenskyy is plain and simple bullying.

The UK and Europe need to step up now and lead.

The Conservatives left us in this mess, while Labour dither and delay.

Residents in #Putney have been suffering for almost 6 years as a result: from gridlock on the High Street to poor air quality.

Instead of talking, why don't our local politicians start doing?

Traffic in Putney is now so bad that we even have pedestrian traffic jams: this was the scene at Hammersmith Bridge this morning! #Hammersmith #Putney #Wandsworth

Epsom and St Helier Hospitals will not survive this 10-year delay.

We all appreciate that the Government inherited a terrible situation, but they also have an opportunity to do so much better.

No patient should face such unacceptable conditions.

2034 simply is not good enough.
My constituents in Epsom & Ewell cannot wait another decade for a new hospital as NHS patients in Epsom & St Helier Hospitals face unacceptable conditions.

Epsom & St Helier won't survive this delay.

@bobbywdean.bsky.social, @luketaylorld.bsky.social & I have written to the Secretary of State. 👇

At today's #PMQs I asked the Prime Minister to come and visit St Helier hospital with me and see for himself the crumbling walls and sinking floors. He didn't accept.

Monday's delay announcement is a terminal diagnosis for our hospital. St Helier will not survive this delay.

Today, I spoke in the Sunshine Bill debate raised by @maxwilkinson.bsky.social ☀️

Installing solar panels on every new home is an investment in reducing energy bills for all new homeowners. 🏡

I'm proud to support this bill.

The Government's shameful decision to delay upgrades to Epsom & St Helier directly threatens the future of our hospitals.

I will keep fighting alongside @bobbywdean.bsky.social & @luketaylorld.bsky.social to give our constituents the healthcare they deserve.

I was proud to stand up for the 5420 WASPI women living in Epsom & Ewell and urged the Government to be more ambitious on sewage in the River Mole.

I also had constructive meeting with SWR to discuss Ashtead level crossing. 🚆

It's clear that personnel from minority groups face systemic challenges within the armed forces.

My amendment to the Armed Forces Commissioner Bill will ensure transparency and accountability is taken when tackling issues of bullying and sexual assault.
