23 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“In the past two weeks, I've spoken up in Parliament to ask the Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary, and Chancellor a vital question: will they do what's necessary to protect British citizens from the growing consequences of a war they didn't choose.”↗
22 Apr 2026Environmentmeasured“Today is Earth Day 🌍 Here in West Berkshire, that means asking what happens if we lose the chalk streams, meadows, and wildlife that make this place special - because once they’re gone, they’re gone. That’s why this matters. More: buff.ly/YZKuT02”↗
22 Apr 2026Cost of Livingmeasured“Prices are rising and people in Newbury & West Berks are already paying the price. I asked the Chancellor how high costs have to climb before real, targeted support arrives for households, farmers and local businesses. This isn’t about next year People are struggling now More: buff.ly/dfyLYEw”↗
21 Apr 2026Defence & Securityangry“In Parliament today, I challenged the Foreign Secretary: if the US strikes on civilian infrastructure, will UK bases still be accessible. Trumps threats risk a return to full-scale war and deepen a cost-of-living crisis for families across Newbury and West Berkshire. More: buff.ly/4dMtBsZ”↗
17 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“The ceasefire in Lebanon is hugely welcome; we must use this moment to deliver lasting peace But after no commitment from the PM on Monday, an extra £20 million a day has been raised in rising oil and gas prices This must be used to support families across West Berkshire More: buff.ly/WSNA8RD”↗
15 Apr 2026Utilities & Watermeasured“If sewage flooded your street every year, you’d want answers. In Lambourn, rising groundwater overwhelms old pipes, forcing sewage out of manholes, onto doorsteps, businesses and the River Lambourn. I’m pushing key agencies to move beyond temporary fixes to real solutions. More: buff.ly/C9XktIF”↗
14 Apr 2026Cost of Livingmeasured“The war in the Middle East has generated a £200m windfall for the Treasury through higher fuel costs. Yesterday I pressed the Prime Minister to use that money to give immediate help to households feeling the pressure. More: buff.ly/MZGSanV”↗
14 Apr 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“Parents across Newbury and West Berkshire keep telling me how worried they are about children’s safety online This Government consultation is a chance to change that. The Lib Dems have launched two surveys so your experiences, not just tech lobbyists, shape what happens next More: buff.ly/2EDQZA6”↗
12 Apr 2026Utilities & Watermeasured“Delayed Post. Missed Deliveries. Rising Prices. Across Newbury and West Berkshire, people are continuing to feel the impact of a postal service falling short. Alongside colleagues, I’m pressing the Government, Ofcom, and Royal Mail for stronger action. More: buff.ly/sqlTy9m”↗
11 Apr 2026Environmentmeasured“Over 6.5 million animals approved for testing, and oversight is falling short. I remain firmly behind Herbie’s Law to strengthen regulation and establish a firm timeline to phase out animal experimentation. More: buff.ly/ulTkP4Q”↗
10 Apr 2026Cost of Livingangry“4 million children in poverty, and costs are rising again. Scrapping the two-child limit is a crucial first step, but families need help now, not months down the line. We need emergency support and long-term action to tackle child poverty at its root. More: buff.ly/AWBjUnN”↗
9 Apr 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“Small businesses shouldn't be left in a "no man’s land" without protection. Testimonies from former Vodafone franchisees are a reminder of why franchise reform is needed. I’ve joined MPs in writing to Vodafone’s CEO to seek answers and a more transparent system for all. More: buff.ly/r5LrccJ”↗
8 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Find out what the team and I have been up to in March. From the local impact of events in Iran and the rural squeeze on fuel prices, to the fight for safer roads, Newbury’s flood defences, SEND provision, and so much more. More: buff.ly/WQOFoPg”↗
7 Apr 2026Health & NHSmeasured“Too many families are being let down by maternity care. 73% of units lack overnight consultant cover — when most births happen. In West Berkshire, we must do better: ✔️ 24/7 specialists ✔️ 1-to-1 midwife care ✔️ Safer services for every family More: buff.ly/TuO5KXk”↗
4 Apr 2026Utilities & Waterangry“The Government is spending £1.4bn on flood defences, but Newbury and West Berkshire haven't received a penny.

2 Apr 2026Housing & Planningangry“Park home residents are being hit by an unfair 10% commission fee when they try to sell their home, leaving many people trapped in properties they no longer want to live in. I’m joining other MPs to call for a fairer system. More: buff.ly/4mn81r7”↗

1 Apr 2026Agriculture & Rural Economymeasured“Only 5% of farmers are under 35. After hearing directly from young farmers in Parliament, it’s clear we risk losing a generation without action. Farmers need better access to land, training schemes, and long-term funding support now. More: buff.ly/5dwnkHd”↗
1 Apr 2026Educationmeasured“Last week, I hosted a roundtable discussion around the SEND reforms. Too many families are being let down by a system that is underfunded and difficult to navigate. Meaningful reform must be shaped with parents, so we can deliver the support our SEND communities need. More: buff.ly/XBITKgm”↗
31 Mar 2026Immigrationmeasured“Blanket retrospective changes to “Earned Settlement” aren’t fair.

More: buff.ly/PlMiyAU”↗
31 Mar 2026Health & NHSmeasured“Finding an NHS dentist in West Berkshire is notoriously difficult. Most people are left with no option but to pay for expensive private dental care.

Faster reforms and stronger regulation are needed now. More: buff.ly/ZoHDR96”↗
30 Mar 2026Environmentmeasured“Last week, I visited the Newbury and Thatcham Repair Café. With millions of repairable goods discarded each year in the UK, initiatives like this play an important role in extending product lifespans and supporting progress toward net‑zero. More: buff.ly/m84b1RK”↗
28 Mar 2026Culture & Communitymeasured“It was great to have a go at playing the drums on my recent visit to Good Vibes Music Academy. Places like Good Vibes bring so much to our community. However, funding cuts and rising costs are a challenge for many local creative organisations. More: buff.ly/NsAzWIJ”↗
27 Mar 2026Transportmeasured“Deeply disappointing that further A34 measures have been left out the Road Investment Strategy.
