22 May 2026Local Governmentmeasured“A thoughtful discussion with B&NES CEO Sophie Broadfield today on the opportunities & challenges ahead for Bath. We looked at what’s best for Bath amid potential legislation changes around how local government works & how its regional devolved powers can most effectively be used.”↗
22 May 2026Educationcelebratory“What a treat to be at St Michael’s Junior School in Twerton again today, getting involved in their “Music Friday”. This brilliant programme delivered by the Orchestra of Everything Foundation sees every child learn at least one instrument – and over 80% learn two!”↗
22 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Reform and the Greens can make big promises to voters, but they’ve not yet been tested in delivering them. Now that Reform is running councils, we’re seeing the reality: chaos, broken promises & disappointment. Unlike them, we @libdems.org.uk have a proven record of delivering for communities.”↗
22 May 2026Technology & Digitalangry“Social media giants have dodged responsibility while their algorithms spread harmful content to children. They’ve repeatedly prioritised clicks over safety. Our @libdems.org.uk plan for film-style social media age ratings would force platforms to protect users - or face tougher restrictions.”↗
21 May 2026Crime & Policingmeasured“Reports of misogyny & sexual misconduct in tattoo studios are unacceptable. No one with a prior sexual assault conviction should work in spaces where clients are vulnerable & often alone with artists for hours. I support mandatory background checks on artists to keep people safe.”↗
21 May 2026Jobs & Employmentmeasured“I welcome the Government tackling exploitative zero-hours contracts. But ministers must ensure the reforms don’t remove the flexibility valued by many students and workers in Bath, who rely on part-time, flexible jobs to support their studies or work around their lives.”↗
21 May 2026Economy & Jobs (General)celebratory“Great to attend the Mondelez drop-in in Parliament. Home to iconic brands like Cadbury, Mondelez employs 3,800+ people in the UK & spent £1.3bn on UK suppliers in 2025. We must continue backing industries like the food & drink sector which create jobs, support suppliers & drive economic growth.”↗
21 May 2026Educationcelebratory“At the launch of King Edward’s School’s Transforming Lives Through Education bursary I heard personal reflections on the transformative impact of bursary support. I look forward to following the pathways of more talented young people from lower-income families who will benefit from this new scheme.”↗
21 May 2026Economy & Jobs (General)angry“Labour has once again refused to take the steps needed to repair our relationship with the EU & boost our economy by rejecting a new UK-EU customs union. The Government's red lines on the EU make no sense. As long as Labour clings to them, Britain will keep paying the price.”↗
20 May 2026Transportcelebratory“I love cycling & want more people to be able to travel by bike.🚲 It was great to join @libdems.org.uk colleagues & @cyclinguk.bsky.social to discuss how we can boost cycling rates & make it feel safer. I look forward to working together so more people can experience the joys of cycling.”↗
20 May 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“Beautiful visit with the Industry and Parliament Trust (IPT) to the Chelsea Flower-show. This year’s show concentrates on community and natural planting schemes with trees & wildflowers. The mental health benefits from creating even small green spaces in our urban environments are indisputable.”↗
20 May 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“Brexit has done huge damage to our economy & weakened vital security ties with our EU allies. That’s why we Lib Dems have tabled an amendment to the King’s Speech urging the Government to negotiate a new UK–EU Customs Union. It’s time Labour takes real action to fix our relationship with the EU.”↗
20 May 2026Cost of Livingmeasured“The Government's scrapping of the planned fuel duty rise is not nearly enough for the families being crushed under ballooning everyday costs. The Chancellor must take bolder action & back our @libdems.org.uk plan to slash 12p off every litre of fuel at her cost of living announcement tomorrow.”↗
20 May 2026Health & NHSmeasured“The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Eating Disorders are gathering evidence for an inquiry into eating disorders in marginalised & underrepresented communities. All experiences shared will inform the APPG’s upcoming report & recommendations to the Government. Please find our survey below👇”↗
19 May 2026Energy & Net Zerocelebratory“Great to speak with researchers from the Great Western Supercluster of Hydrogen Impact for Future Technologies in Parliament. Hydrogen is vital to decarbonise industries, strengthen our energy security & deliver net zero. Great to see our region, led by @uniofbath.bsky.social, at the forefront.”↗
19 May 2026Environmentmeasured“Green spaces are vital for our health, environment & climate. As the Government commits to building 1.5 million homes this Parliament, we must not lose sight of protecting & creating green space - from parks to green roofs. I chaired an IPT discussion on how to ensure new development deliver this.”↗
19 May 2026Othermeasured“Affordability checks on horse racing betting would put the industry at serious risk. Many will refuse to supply personal financial information for these intrusive checks - they’ll instead turn to the unregulated illegal market. I’ve signed a letter urging the Government to rethink this proposal.👇”↗
19 May 2026Technology & Digitalangry“📸 Women are being secretly filmed in public - with these invasive videos posted online for millions to see & hurl misogynistic abuse at. Many are left fearing for their safety & face reputational damage. I brought together leading experts to explore how we can put an end to this vile behaviour.👇”↗
18 May 2026Crime & Policingmeasured“Two constituents contacted me after receiving DBS check letters for people fraudulently using their addresses. DBS checks are vital for safeguarding children & vulnerable people, so accuracy matters. The Government must investigate how this happened and prevent it happening again.”↗
18 May 2026MP & Parliamentangry“The arrogance here is breathtaking. Treating representing a constituency like a favour to hand to your mate shows utter contempt for the people of Makerfield. Labour’s psychodrama triggered these by-elections so they should pay for them - all £5 million.”↗
18 May 2026Educationcelebratory“Huge congratulations to the Raspberry Penguins & PiPal teams from King Edward’s Junior School on reaching the finals of the PA Consulting Raspberry Pi Competition - with one team also winning the Inspiration Award! To have two teams from the same school reach the finals is a fantastic achievement.👏”↗
16 May 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“Growing Green Open Day on Lower Common West in Victoria Park. A lovely day of celebration showcasing the power of community growing and working with Nature.”↗
15 May 2026Health & NHSempathetic“I visited Samaritans Bath & was deeply struck by the warmth, reassurance & openness of their phoneline listeners. At a time of growing pressure on mental health, their support is invaluable. They're there 24/7 — so please reach out without fear or judgement. You don't have to face things alone.”↗
15 May 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“Community energy projects, like Bath & West Community Energy, provide cheap, home-grown renewable power that strengthens our energy security & lowers people's bills. To keep growing community energy, the Government must ensure local people directly benefit from the energy generated where they live.”↗
15 May 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“It's great news that @bathnes.bsky.social are working hard to restore water to the pond in Royal Victoria Park. Their plans to clean, repair, and secure a permanent water supply will help bring this much loved pond back to life for residents and visitors to enjoy for years to come.”↗
14 May 2026Local Governmentcelebratory“Congratulations to Joy Luxford & Ruby Sant on their appointment as co-chairs of the Neighbourhood Board for the Twerton & Whiteway £20m Pride in Place scheme. It’s fantastic to meet them as they begin assembling their Neighbourhood Board alongside inspirational members of the community.”↗
14 May 2026Social Careangry“I’ve been campaigning for a trans-inclusive conversion therapy ban to finally end this horrendous practice. I welcome the Government committing to a ban in the King’s Speech - we now need a clear timeline for this. No more delays. No more excuses. We must ban conversion therapy for good.”↗
14 May 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“Brexit has wrapped UK–EU trade in red tape, piling on costs & delays for small businesses. Many now face double tariffs, paying when importing from third countries into the UK & then again when exporting into the EU. To truly back British businesses we must negotiate a new UK–EU customs union.”↗
14 May 2026Cost of Livingmeasured“At the elections, voters sent a clear message: Britain wants change. People want to see the Government tackling the cost of living crisis, fixing our NHS, & cleaning up our communities. The King’s speech we heard yesterday doesn’t do nearly enough to address the insecurity the country faces.”↗
14 May 2026Crime & Policingmeasured“Two of my constituents have received letters suggesting their addresses have been falsely used to obtain DBS checks. DBS checks are vital for safeguarding children & vulnerable people — false information could undermine these protections. I called on the Government to urgently investigate this 👇”↗
