Lee Dillon MP for Newbury
@leedillonmp.bsky.social
Liberal Democrat MP for Newbury. Passionate about housing, the NHS, and supporting local communities.
It was great to host the 'This is Farming' drop-in event in Parliament, bringing farmers and rural organisations into the heart of Westminster.
Their voices are vital in shaping policies that support our countryside and those who feed the nation.

Yesterday, I asked the Government how service families will be protected while a massive housing upgrade programme is underway. Broken boilers, damp, leaking roofs cannot wait. They deserve decent homes now.

Proud that my Lib Dem colleagues and I stood up for people’s rights yesterday, defeating Nigel Farage’s attempt to take the UK out of the ECHR.

New laws require social housing landlords to fix dangerous homes, a vital step for tenants living in damp, mouldy, unsafe housing.
But the Govt must go further. We need an emergency home upgrade programme to cut bills & keep homes warm. More here: www.leedillon.co.uk/post/safe-wa...
