17 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentangry“If Starmer knew that Mandelson’s security vetting was overruled, and knowingly misled parliament over this, he must resign. We need full transparency about what the prime minister knew and when to get to the bottom of this appalling scandal.”↗
17 Apr 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“We cannot allow social media to keep harming our children. It's time to understand how they use it & what must change to keep them safe. Share your views in our @libdems.org.uk survey which will inform our contribution to the Government's social media consultation. We must protect children online.👇”↗
17 Apr 2026Environmentmeasured“Speaking at the Women For Climate Action Leadership event as part of the 152 IPU Assembly in Istanbul. The Inter Parliamentary Union is the ‘Parliament of Parliaments’ with 183 member delegations from across the world promoting peace, international diplomacy and Human Rights”↗
17 Apr 2026Health & NHSempathetic“Over 4 million people in the UK are battling an eating disorder. No one is untreatable, but currently too many are being failed & lives are being lost. This must change. Sign Dump The Scales’ petition for a Government-led National Eating Disorder Strategy👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/partnerships...”↗
16 Apr 2026Othermeasured“Yesterday I attended the Inter-Parliamentary Union Assembly’s Forum of Women Parliamentarians as part of the UK delegation. We brought UK parliamentary perspectives to global discussions on gender equality and empowerment. Women’s voices must be heard & represented in decision-making worldwide.”↗
16 Apr 2026Health & NHSangry“Medical misogyny is rife in our healthcare system. Too many women are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or forced to suffer in silence because their pain isn’t taken seriously. It’s high time the Government tackle this dangerous lack of awareness & properly fund overstretched services that women rely on.”↗
15 Apr 2026Educationmeasured“From discussing progress on Bath’s new SEND school, to encouraging local domestic abuse charities to collaborate - this past week I've been standing up for the issues that matter to you. Here's a snapshot of what else I've been up to.📸👇”↗
15 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“Russian aggression. Instability in the Middle East. An unpredictable White House. Britain must be ready to defend itself. To do so, our armed forces need urgent investment. The government must issue defence bonds to raise £20bn over 2 years to rebuild & strengthen our defence.”↗
15 Apr 2026Health & NHSmeasured“Too often new housing developments are built with promises of GP surgeries that never arrive. This puts pressure on local services & leaves patients without care. We @libdems.org.uk would require new or expanded GP surgeries to open as soon as the first homes are sold - funded by developer levies.”↗
14 Apr 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“I had fun helping out Isabel and Madaleine at SONDER - Bath’s newest coffee shop - on Green Street! These enterprising small businesses are the backbone of Bath’s economy and give it its distinctive indie feel. The Government must do more to help them survive and thrive.”↗
14 Apr 2026Transportcelebratory“@bathnes.bsky.social has launched a £5m resurfacing programme for 2026 across Bath & North East Somerset. Crews are already delivering with 3,790 potholes fixed since January - a five-year high!”↗
14 Apr 2026Otherangry“Farage’s promotion of a £2m crypto purchase is deeply alarming. Political leaders shouldn’t treat financial markets like a personal piggy bank to enrich themselves. The FCA must examine whether his actions cross into market abuse or a conflict of interest.”↗
13 Apr 2026Environmentmeasured“Educating people on the climate crisis has never been more urgent. That’s why it was great to attend the local screening of the People's Emergency Briefing - a powerful short film that aims to help people understand the climate crisis. I’ll keep pushing the Government to protect our environment.”↗
13 Apr 2026Health & NHSangry“Last year over 106,000 patients waited more than 62 days to start cancer treatment. That's unacceptable. Every delay puts people at greater risk. That's why we @libdems.org.uk are calling for a legal guarantee to ensure 100% of patients start treatment within 62 days of an urgent referral.”↗
13 Apr 2026Defence & Securityangry“This is a grave moment. Diplomacy must prevail. The US and Iran need to commit to further negotiations and restrain from using force. Trump must pull back from his latest reckless threat to blockade the Strait of Hormuz - this will only fuel further escalation.”↗
10 Apr 2026Local Governmentmeasured“Bath's student population brings value & investment, but also creates financial pressure for B&NES, which cannot collect council tax from these properties. I met Southdown Councillors Dine & Paul to discuss the need for the government to increase it's grants so B&NES is properly compensated.”↗
10 Apr 2026Educationcelebratory“The Department for Education has approved B&NES’ plan for a new SEND school at Culverhay, delivering a key Lib Dem commitment. I met Cllr Paul May to welcome the news. Families & teachers know this is urgent; we will press the Government for clear timelines so we can get building quickly.”↗
10 Apr 2026Defence & Securityangry“Trump’s ceasefire is unravelling. Israel’s strikes on Lebanon risk destroying any chance of peace. We must put an end to their recklessness. The Government must act by sanctioning Netanyahu & his cabinet, halting arms exports to Israel & pushing for Hezbollah’s disarmament to prevent escalation.”↗
10 Apr 2026Social Carecelebratory“Proud to convene multiple agencies working in domestic abuse services for women & their families in B&NES in my regular roundtable. Collaborating & sharing information, resources & activity improves workflows, services & outcomes, prevents duplication, & reduces stress on delivery & on their teams.”↗
9 Apr 2026Health & NHSmeasured“Healthcare professionals need proper training to recognise the signs of eating disorders & support people to recover. Right now, too many aren’t receiving this, & patients are paying the price. This must change. I’ll keep pushing for action in Parliament so everyone gets the help they need.”↗
9 Apr 2026Economy & Jobs (General)celebratory“Thanks to Sophie and her team for showing me round the recently-opened brand-new M&S Bath Southgate store, a significant multi-million-pound investment in our city, employing over 200 local people. Offering the very best of M&S Food, Fashion, Home & Beauty across four floors, it looks stunning!”↗
9 Apr 2026Health & NHSmeasured“BSWICB’s ambitious Neighbourhood Health plan is working towards a vision for providing more care closer to our communities. I spoke to B&NES Place Director Lucy Baker to hear more about how health, care & wider support will work together around people & communities, close to where they live.”↗
8 Apr 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“Reform & Nigel Farage claim high energy bills are caused by too much investment in renewables, & that more reliance on oil & gas would cut costs. Record high gas prices in recent years show that’s just not true. The real solution is faster investment in renewables to bring bills down for everyone.”↗
8 Apr 2026Educationcelebratory“From discussing with local organisations and schools how we can best support children with SEND, to meeting with Bath business Riviam to celebrate their success - this past week I've been standing up for the issues that matter to you. Here's a snapshot of what else I've been up to.📸👇”↗
8 Apr 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“The Women’s Institute in Bath does wonderful work bringing women together to build friendships and skills and campaigning on issues that matter to its members. It was great to meet them and answer their questions. Groups like this, which create connection and community, are so vital to our city.”↗
8 Apr 2026Environmentmeasured“I met with the CEO of Bristol Airport to discuss their expansion plans. Flying is increasing as our world becomes more connected & families move abroad. But with aviation emissions rising - any expansion must be carefully considered & we must focus on decarbonising fuel to reduce aviation's impact.”↗
7 Apr 2026Defence & Securityangry“Trump has threatened to strike civilian targets in Iran. This risks breaching international law. The Government must withdraw permission for the US to use our UK bases so they cannot be used to commit war crimes.”↗
7 Apr 2026Cost of Livingangry“British families are paying more to get around because of Trump's idiotic war, a war they didn’t start & don’t support. We @libdems.org.uk are calling for an immediate cut in fuel duty to bring down prices at the pump by 12p per litre.”↗
7 Apr 2026Educationmeasured“I met with the BANES Parent Carer Forum to hear about the challenges children with SEND face. We discussed how its vital local schools provide proper support, & multi-academy trusts are held accountable to ensure this happens. It’s time we deliver the education SEND children deserve.”↗
4 Apr 2026Transportmeasured“🚍 Help shape the future of buses in the West of England! The West of England Mayoral Combined Authority is creating a new Bus Plan to improve services. Whether you take the buses often or only occasionally, your views matter. Have your say before 10th May👇 haveyoursaywest.co.uk/betterbuses/”↗
