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. I’ll be keeping an eye on the development of this policy.

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

But it’s not clear how these changes will be funded and I’m concerned already overloaded schools will be asked to do even more.

🛠️ 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.

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

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

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

📉 And, unfortunately for patients, this has had a severe impact on local services.

😱 During last summer's flash flooding, we were hit by nearly 2 months' worth of rainfall in less than 1 hour!

☔ 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.

👚This morning, MPs are Wearing it Pink in Parliament following Friday's #WearItPink Day, which raises money and awareness for Breast Cancer Now.

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

💪Let'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? 😜

Alex Brewer MP 🔶 @alexkbrewer.bsky.social · 13d

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.

(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.

By supporting female entrepreneurs, we can unlock more than £250bn of growth, and give our economy the vital boost it needs.
