I visited businesses along Botley Road last week to hear how they’re coping after such a tough few years. Goodwill payments are a positive step after years of pressure, but the disruption has gone on long enough- Network Rail must stick to its schedule and get the road reopened.

It's #WearItPink Day! Proud to support Breast Cancer Now and everyone affected by breast cancer this #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth 🩷

Nada, an Oxford plastic surgeon, told me stories of children in Gaza suffering wounds, which without care will lead to life-changing injuries.

I pushed the Government to work to establish a humanitarian corridor from Gaza to the West Bank for those injured to access treatment.

I have written to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency calling for a consistent and determined effort to crackdown on the illegal weight-loss jab trade.

It was great to meet Oxon4Buses earlier today to discuss bus provision in Oxford.

Local Lib Dems are committed to continued investment in buses to improve the level of services, particularly around Oxford station, to connect people to the whole of Oxfordshire and beyond. 🚌

I'm delighted that Cowley Branch Line is to reopen to passenger trains. This is a really important milestone for Oxford residents and beyond, delivering the connectivity that our congested city desperately needs.

Listen to me in conversation with @bbcoxford.bsky.social's Sophie Law. 📻

Earlier this year I saw for myself the incredible work which the Hospital at Home team from the John Radcliffe Hospital do.

I was shocked to hear that their funding is now being cut and asked the Government how this was compatible with their transition to community care.

Over the past week I have been inundated with concerns from constituents about changes to IB funding and how this may affect Europa School.

As a teacher of the IB for 11 years I know how vital this qualification is.

Today I asked the minister to reconsider his decision.

It was great to attend Westminster Vaccination Day in Parliament earlier this week.

Vaccines save lives and protect the most vulnerable in our local communities.

I am proud that Oxfordshire is leading the way in vaccine development at Moderna's new facility in Harwell.

This week the Mental Health Bill came back to Parliament.

I raised the case of my constituents Cyril and Dianne who lost their son Leon as result of failures in the system.

The nominated persons clause in the bill will be of great comfort to parents such as Cyril and Dianne.

Workforce is key to ensuring the sustainability of pharmacies in the community.

I expressed the importance of having community pharmacists at the heart of the NHS workforce plan and asked the minister for an update.

It was an honour to meet the Ukrainian Speaker, Ruslan Stefanchuck.

I will continue to push the UK Government to strengthen and deepen our 100-year partnership, including on healthcare.

Liberal Democrats are steadfast in our commitment to support Ukraine.

The Prime Minister's decision to recognise the state of Palestine was long overdue, but it is meaningless without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

Yesterday I asked the Prime Minister to confirm his commitment to making a two-state solution a reality.

It was great to drop by the Floodmobile, a mobile unit run by the 'Flood Re' team which will tour the country to demonstrate practical and affordable flood measures that people can take to protect their homes and businesses.

Today is World Mental Health Day. Mental Health affects everyone, all of the time.

Today and everyday it is important to look out for our own and our loved ones mental wellbeing.

The talk of enduring and lasting peace is encouraging, but this will only come with the creation of an Independent Palestinian State.

Palestinians must be in the driving seat of their own future.

The war is Gaza has gone on two years too long. I welcome this ceasefire of course but it’s hard to celebrate after we’ve had such misery and destruction. In this war we’ve seen the worst of humanity. In its aftermath I hope we see the best.

Healthy Ageing: physical activity in an ageing society - Committees - UK Parliament The Committee is undertaking an inquiry into the role of physical activity in improving the health and wellbeing of our older population.   Progress on improving healthy life expectancy in England…

On International Day of Older People, it is important to highlight the challenges faced by our older friends and relatives daily.

The Health Committee are currently exploring ways in which physical exercise can help as we progress into our later years.

Today marks the end of the bathing water season for 2025.

In 2022, we finally secured the bathing status of Wolvercote Mill Stream. We will continue to work together with all those who fight so hard to ensure Wolvercote remains a place to swim and play for years to come. 🏊🎣 🚣‍♂️

Call to scrap two child benefit cap - Oxfordshire Liberal Democrats

The two child benefit cap is cruel and punishes hard-working families across Britain.

That is why I am again calling on the Government to scrap the cap now.

Alaa Abd El-Fattah: Egypt's president pardons prominent activist The British-Egyptian activist is one of six people whose sentences have been commuted, according to state media.

Amazing! Thinking of all of Alaa’s family, especially his mother Laila, who joined him in hunger strike. I wish them all the best and hope they can now celebrate together.

UK recognition of the State of Palestine was a promise made to my great grandfather decades ago. While on its own, recognition won’t solve anything without further action, it is a down payment on peace. Today we have just a little more hope, and hope is contagious.

📻 on BBC world service this AM:

Alzheimer's Society Alzheimer’s Society is the UK’s leading dementia charity. We give vital support to those who need it, fund groundbreaking research, and campaign to improve experiences. It will take a society to beat…

Today is World Alzheimer's Day.

1 in 3 people in Britain today will go on to develop Alzheimer's in their lifetime. We must work together to tackle this disease.

Find out the amazing work which the Alzheimer's Society does today:

The Education Select Committee have released their report into the SEND crisis.

It correctly highlights the funding issues facing councils and the lack of adequate provision which is having a devasting impact on families.

Now is the time to act.

Thank you @paulettehamiltonmp.bsky.social for meeting with and raising the case of my constituent Dianne, who tragically lost her son Leon to suicide.

I welcome the govt commitment to improve continuity of care and monitoring for those discharged to the community.

On National Emergency Services Day, we pay tribute to the 2 million emergency service workers who dedicate their lives to ensuring the safety of others.

Thank you for the vital work that you do.

This Sunday at 3pm the government will conduct a UK wide test of the Emergency Alerts system.

The Thames Swim Against Sewage Right now, a team of 8 world-class swimmers are swimming the length of Thames in a non-stop, 200+km, 3-day relay, finishing at the heart of Government in Westminster. The Thames Swim Against Sewage…

Congratulations to the Surfers Against Sewage campaign who have just completed their swim along the Thames to call on the government to take action against sewage dumping.

It's time the government took action against water companies dumping sewage into our rivers and lakes.
