The UK can't be dragged into another protracted Middle Eastern war by a US President.

The Iranian people deserve to live free from a brutal regime. Donald Trump's unilateral and illegal military action won't deliver freedom, peace and security. It will only unleash more bloodshed.

The UK can't be dragged into another protracted Middle Eastern war by a US President. Keir Starmer needs to rule out the use of UK bases for any future unilateral US strikes.

I was recently able to meet and talk with the #Woking Sea Cadets and their volunteer team leading up to Armed Forces Week. It was also lovely to meet their Junior Sea Cadets. This has furthered my interest and commitment in the recognition of dedicated cadets and their merits.

Pleased to visit Nationwide’s #Woking branch to meet the manager Fabian and his team. Unlike other banks or building societies, Nationwide is definitely staying in the town - in fact it’s had an increase in customers recently.

Why health has topped the list of my priorities Over the past couple of weeks, two of my key priorities have been cancer screening and social housing standards. In this column, I want to share an update on the work I’ve been doing in both areas.

In my latest fortnightly column in the #Woking News and Mail, I’ve written about promoting locally based cancer charity @walkthewalk.bsky.social in Parliament and improving standards of social housing. Read the full story here ⬇️

Across the country, vital care services continue to be underfunded and treated as tomorrow’s problem.

Parents of disabled children and adults live in constant fear. They deserve security, dignity, and a government that acts before homes close and lives are uprooted.

Today is an important step in dismantling the system that protected Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Epstein’s other associates.

The victims, survivors and their families have waited far too long for the truth to come out and justice to be done.

We're using our opposition day in Parliament to demand answers on how Prince Andrew was appointed as trade envoy.

Transparency and openness is the only way to restore public trust.

Families of children with SEND are exhausted. The fights, the delays, the underfunding, the private profiteering.

The crisis is real, and it must end.

Parents of SEND children are constantly fighting for the right support, all while private equity firms cash in and siphon taxpayers’ money offshore.

The Lib Dems will cap profits at 8% and treat SEND as critical national infrastructure.

New border rules for British dual nationals need to be quickly shut down, say Lib Dems Letter to Shabana Mahmood describes controls that could block British dual citizens’ entry to UK as β€˜unacceptable’

Pleased to talk to @theguardian.com about the call from the @libdems.org.uk and me for the Government to move at speed to delay the rollout of new border controls that could result in British dual nationals being blocked from entering the country.

Alongside colleagues from the @libdems.org.uk, I’ve written to the Home Secretary demanding urgent action for dual nationals left stranded abroad or forced to pay eye-watering costs just to come home - all because of the Government’s botched rollout of new immigration rules.

The student finance system isn't working.

Graduates are paying more, for longer, on terms that keep changing. That’s not fair and we have the plan to fix it.

Was shocked to see the state of some of the buildings at my old school, #Woking High. Some buildings are held together with masking tape and the music classroom has been closed as it has a hole in the ceiling! I will be demanding the Government support for building repairs asap.

β€˜Grace period’ needed for dual nationals returning to UK on second passport, say Lib Dems Will Forster MP says β€˜lack of planning and haphazard communication’ on new border rules has caused chaos

The Government’s lack of planning and haphazard communication has left dual nationals completely in the lurch. Many who don’t currently hold a British passport find themselves stranded abroad or having to stump up a huge sum just to get back home.

It was fantastic to help open the #Woking Library of Things recently. This brilliant collaboration between Woking Library and We Act shows how communities can work together to save money, save resources and save space in people's homes.

A new Department for Growth with a mandate to boost long-term prosperity, improve living standards and end the cost of living crisis.

This is the beginning of our plan to Get Britain Growing Again.

The Prime Minister has repeatedly demonstrated appalling judgement in his appointments.

The British people deserve more than just excuse after excuse.

Day I went back to school left me deeply concerned One of my biggest focuses since being elected as Woking’s Member of Parliament has been protecting vulnerable children.

In my latest piece in the #Woking News and Mail, I report back on my debate in Parliament to better protect vulnerable children, how I’m standing up to big property management companies and campaigning to improve our underfunded school buildings.

Thirty deaths in small boat crossing avoidable, inquiry finds Inquiry chair Sir Ross Cranston said

The Cranston Inquiry finds Channel deaths could have been prevented. To stop more deaths, we need to cooperate far more closely with Europe, make sure the coastguard has the resources and confidence to do its job, and bring control to our asylum system.

Delighted to sponsor an event in Parliament today for @walkthewalk.bsky.social, a national cancer charity proudly headquartered here in #Woking who organise the world-famous MoonWalk London.

It's a privilege to support such a fantastic organisation and introduce their work to fellow MPs.
