We will remember those who fought and died for our freedom.

It was a pleasure to join the services in Odiham and Fleet today for the services of remembrance.
A broader curriculum is vital and I hope the Government can get this right in a way that benefits all children, teachers, leadership and support staff. Iโ€™ll be keeping an eye on the development of this policy.

New curriculum to give young people the skills for life and work
Government to set out plans to bring the curriculum into the modern day and help young people step into the future.

The Government has announced changes to the National Curriculum. Thereโ€™s some good in there, like stronger arts and digital education, which the Lib Dems have called for.

But itโ€™s not clear how these changes will be funded and Iโ€™m concerned already overloaded schools will be asked to do even more.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ With wait times now at a record high, it's clear that Labour are simply not doing enough to repair the catastrophic damage done by the Conservatives.

๐Ÿ“ข This must change, and so I am calling for an emergency package to save our GP services, alongside my Liberal Democrat colleagues.

๐Ÿฉบ With patient numbers rising faster than available resources, GPs are stretched incredibly thin.

๐ŸŒ‹ Despite working harder than ever to provide for their communities, for many this pressure is simply too much.

๐Ÿ“‰ And, unfortunately for patients, this has had a severe impact on local services.

โ˜” Extreme weather events like this are just one of the many ways in which climate change will impact our area.
Nigel Farage wants to take away your rights.

The ECHR has secured our freedoms as we know them, from torture (1978), to the press (1979), to sexual expression (1981), and privacy (2025).

Today, I voted to defend these rights.
๐Ÿ‘šThis morning, MPs are Wearing it Pink in Parliament following Friday's #WearItPink Day, which raises money and awareness for Breast Cancer Now.

๐ŸฉทIn recent decades, we've made amazing progress on breast cancer detection, treatment, and support.

๐Ÿ’ชLet's not stop now! Together, we can beat cancer.
It's been a pleasure working with the Hall's team and I'm so glad we've been able to help them with their target - they're so close now, a few more donations will help preserve a truly valuable community institution.

How's that for Lib Dems fixing church roofs? ๐Ÿ˜œ
The Hall forms the heart of the Hartley Wintney Community, bringing together people of all ages for on-screen entertainment, live music events, family and community gatherings and regular clubs and classes.

It's been raising money to repair a major leaky roof to ensure its halls can remain open.

The Victoria Hall is so close to its fundraising goal of ยฃ40,000, having already raised an incredible ยฃ38,000 thanks to the wonderful support of the local community.
๐Ÿ‘‹Hi North East Hampshire,

Here are a few of the things I got up to this week, including taking questions or concerns raised by many of you to the right people, either in Parliament or in business.
(2/2) I'm very proud to have been part of this Women and Equalities Committee Report on female entrepreneurship.

With the Government looking for growth this budget, I'll be pushing them to give female entrepreneurs the support they need.
(1/2) There is a huge economic opportunity to be had ๐Ÿค‘

By supporting female entrepreneurs, we can unlock more than ยฃ250bn of growth, and give our economy the vital boost it needs.

๐Ÿš“ Met with the Policing Minister to discuss issues raised by constituents including rural crime, speeding, theft and police recruitment.

I'm proud to have been a part of the Committee's work on this issue, and to celebrate this achievement today in Parliament, on the final day of #BabyLossAwarenessWeek
