17 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasured“Today I had my regular catch-up with Lucy Baker from BSW, Somerset and Dorset ICB to discuss the government’s focus on neighbourhood health. I continue to support efforts to bring multiple health and social services under one roof and into communities - improving vital access for Bath residents.”↗
17 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“This parliamentary year I’ve resolved 8,125 pieces of casework.🔶🎉 I’m proud to support my Bath constituents with the problems & concerns they face. If you live in Bath & need help with an issue you can reach me at: 📩 office@werahobhouse.co.uk”↗
16 Jul 2026Social Careempathetic“No disabled person should be forced to be changed on a toilet floor. Yet, due to a lack of Changing Places toilets, this is the reality for some people. We @libdems.org.uk are calling on the Government to deliver a properly funded, long‑term programme to ensure these toilets can be built.”↗
16 Jul 2026Transportangry“One of my constituents was almost knocked over by an illegal e‑bike while cycling.🚲 These bikes are increasingly being ridden fast & dangerously, especially by riders in the gig economy. I asked the Transport Minister today: what steps are the Government taking to stop this reckless behaviour?”↗
16 Jul 2026Immigrationangry“The EU’s Entry/Exit System has been a disaster — malfunctioning tech & huge queues are causing misery for travellers & costly disruption for hauliers. During school holidays it will only get worse. The Government must agree urgent measures with the EU to protect travellers. Another Brexit failure.”↗
16 Jul 2026Health & NHSangry“Violent attacks on emergency department staff in England almost doubled from 2019–24. I discussed this alarming rise in abuse with the @rcem.ac.uk Healthcare workers deserve to be thanked, not threatened, at work. We need to take a zero‑tolerance approach to this violence.”↗
15 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce... Cheers and tears at last PMQ. Outgoing PM declined to give advice to his successor. I do it instead. * stop governing by opinion polls and stick to your guns * share your vision * be clear that politics is about choices and courageous to communicate the trade-offs”↗
15 Jul 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“1 in 10 YouTube videos recommended to children contain eating disorder content. That's down from 1 in 4 before the Online Safety Act: proof platforms can reduce harm when forced. But 1 in 10 is still too many. We can't let algorithms continue pushing starvation diets & 'thinspiration' to children.”↗
15 Jul 2026Crime & Policingangry“No woman should fear that a night out will end with her being secretly filmed and posted online to face abuse. That's why I’m fighting to make nightlife filming a specific criminal offence.📸 We must stamp out these vile and degrading videos.”↗
14 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Our political system is broken, with people increasingly feeling ignored. Introducing proportional representation offers a chance to fix this by giving everyone an equal vote in our democracy. Burnham must seize this chance to create a system whereby no party can afford to take voters for granted.”↗
14 Jul 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“Stores like Primark bring huge economic & employment benefits to our city. And it's important to have access to affordable fashion. But we need to ensure this doesn't come at the expense of fair working practices & sustainability. I visited Primark Bath to find out how they are tackling this.”↗
14 Jul 2026Social Careempathetic“Dorothy House’s Bereavement Help Point gives people a space to connect with others who are grieving. No one should have to face loss alone. I pushed the Government to recognise that support like this shouldn't be a “nice to have” but an essential part of trauma care.”↗
14 Jul 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“Digital technology is everywhere. We are immersed, engaged entangled. There is a democratic deficit between regulating big tech and building the digital future that we want. Attending a parliamentary briefing on Digital Product Safety to help us understand the opportunities and the threats.”↗
14 Jul 2026Environmentangry“We’re facing a climate & nature crisis🌳. If we don’t act, we risk losing our green & protected spaces. The Government’s plan is useless — we need legal protections, not calls for landowners to voluntarily opt in to protect nature. This crisis is real. It’s time the Government took it seriously.”↗
14 Jul 2026Environmentcelebratory“The Government's plans for a UK‑wide Deposit Return Scheme next year will transform how we recycle single‑use drinks containers made from plastic, aluminium & steel - & glass in Wales. All funded by the drinks industry.♻️ We must ensure businesses & consumers are aware of this big & positive change.”↗
13 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasured“Illegal vapes - including ones laced with the dangerous drug Spice - are being sold online with impunity, often bought by children. The Home Office can’t just target high‑street sales, it must tackle online sellers too. Otherwise, we're not solving the problem, we're simply pushing sales online.”↗
13 Jul 2026Utilities & Waterangry“Thames Water has let customers down time & again. We need tougher regulations to stop water companies siphoning off big profits, end the scandalous pollution of our rivers & force private operators to step aside if they won’t follow the rules. If they won’t clean up their act, we must make them.”↗
13 Jul 2026Environmentmeasured“When I watched the National Emergency Briefing film, I was shocked. It lays out the dangers of the climate & nature crisis with stark clarity. Everyone should see it. @uniofbath.bsky.social are hosting a screening of the film, followed by a discussion, on July 15th.🌍 Book your place.👇”↗
10 Jul 2026Crime & Policingmeasured“England’s next World Cup match is tomorrow evening. We know domestic abuse rises when England play — whether they win or lose. This isn’t the fault of football, but of the violent perpetrators who commit abuse. Read my thoughts on why we must step up support for domestic abuse victims.👇”↗
10 Jul 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“Net Zero has been dragged into a culture war, putting real climate progress at risk.🌍 This Net Zero Week, we need to separate fact from fiction. Only when people understand what Net Zero and renewable energy actually mean will they back the transition we need.”↗
9 Jul 2026Crime & Policingempathetic“Too often, victims of domestic abuse face a complex, unsympathetic court system that deepens their trauma. VOICES in Bath do vital work helping survivors navigate it. I asked the Government what they're doing to ensure victims can cope with a system that so often adds insult to injury.”↗
9 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasured“I met Jonathan Higman CEO of ICBs BSW, Dorset & Somerset to understand their thinking around cluster organisation: Recommending that existing boundaries are retained, supported by strengthened cross-boundary collaboration, is the best route to stability, efficiency & improved outcomes for patients.”↗
9 Jul 2026Health & NHScelebratory“In Parliament, I celebrated RUH Bath's role supporting pioneering research to speed up endometriosis diagnosis & spare women invasive surgery. Women typically wait over 9 years for a diagnosis. I’m glad the Leader of the House joined me in celebrating the RUH & agreed these wait times must be cut.”↗
8 Jul 2026Environmentangry“Fewer than 2% of the UK’s MPAs for cetaceans & seabirds are fully protected from bottom trawling - a shocking finding from Oceana UK’s new Trawled & Mauled report. Bottom trawling is devastating marine life in areas meant to be safe. We must ban this horrifying practice in protected waters.🌊”↗
8 Jul 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“Last night, I sponsored the Net Zero Week Reception in Parliament. Despite the impact of climate change intensifying before our eyes, Trump & the petro‑states are ripping up their climate commitments.🌿 We must work closer with Europe to drive the international action needed to tackle this crisis.”↗
8 Jul 2026Health & NHSempathetic“CJD is a disease that continues to devastate people & their families. I met with the Cure CJD Campaign in Parliament to hear how they're working to raise the £10 million needed for a promising new experimental treatment to enter phase 2 clinical trials. Learn how you can support them.👇 curecjd.org”↗
7 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasured“Measures to tackle gambling addiction, though well-intentioned, have pushed more betting into the black market. This unregulated space puts punters at greater risk. It’s time we treated gambling addiction as a public health issue & pursued other reforms to support the horse racing industry.🏇”↗
7 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentangry“Farage complains about the Government wasting money — then demands taxpayer cash for a needless by‑election to serve his own ego. It’s pure hypocrisy. I hope the people of Clacton see through Farage's disgraceful stunt and votes for an MP who truly represents them.”↗
7 Jul 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“Community energy gives us a huge opportunity to generate homegrown renewable power for our future.🌳 But community projects risk being left behind unless they receive clear guidance on how & when reforms will be delivered. The Government's Energy Independence Bill must unlock this potential.⚡”↗
7 Jul 2026Energy & Net Zerocelebratory“It was great to hear the Institution of Engineering & Technology committed to the green hydrogen revolution. Scaling up our production of green hydrogen will allow chemical companies to create zero‑carbon plastics, resins & fuels. These materials are essential to building a greener future.”↗
