It used to be cards, now it’s parcels. The Royal Mail sorting office in Fleet is a hive of activity, as I saw yesterday when I popped in for a quick visit.
At this time of year, there are about 2.5 times the usual number of parcels being posted.

🅿️ Just another quick reminder that it's free to park in council-run car parks tomorrow (Saturday 6th). This is being offered by both Hart and Basingstoke and Deane councils, as part of their support for Small Business Saturday.
🙌 What a great opportunity to get out and support local businesses!

⚠️ Hampshire Mayoral elections delayed!
💥 The level of indecision and disorganisation demonstrates the Government's incompetence. Either the Government lacks a vision for devolution or the capability to deliver it well.
🗳️ Labour is once again denying local people from participating in democracy.

😤 Unbelievable.
⚠️ The Government's plans to restrict jury trials are a violation of our fundamental rights, and undermine the very foundation of our legal system.
❌ All this to reduce our court backlog by 30,000 cases, which will hardly make an impact with case loads closing in on 100,000.

Thank you to the students of Greenfields Junior School for their excellent questions during their trip to Parliament, last week, and to the staff who made this visit possible.
It's so important that we get young people involved in politics and it's nice to see our future is in good hands!

🗓 This Saturday 6th December is Small Business Saturday.
🚗 There will be no charge to park in Council-run car parks across North East Hampshire all day.
🎁 This is a perfect opportunity to visit some local businesses, especially if you have some Christmas shopping to do.

🚜 Today's #budget needs to make things right with British farmers.
This government has hit farmers hard, significantly and repeatedly:
💰 First they implemented the Family Farm Tax,
📉 Then they cut the farming budget by £100mn,
♻️ And then they closed the Sustainable Farming Incentive.

A woman is killed by a partner or ex-partner once every 3 days in the UK.
This far exceeds the number of people killed by terrorism in the UK over the past 20 years. In fact, more women are killed by a partner or ex-partner each year than the number of people killed in the 7 July bombing in 2005.

We've come a long way in politics when it comes to equal representation, and this is worth celebrating.
But we're not quite there yet.
Therefore, today, on #AskHerToStand Day, I'm putting out a call: if you know any women who could do some good in politics, please encourage them to get involved.

🍺 Last week, I enjoyed a rare chance to visit the pub with some colleagues. However, with the price of a pint up more than £1 (28%) in the last 5 years, we know many have been priced out of treats like this.
🛎️ That's why the Lib Dems' focus for this budget is on supporting our hospitality sector:

Today is World Pancreatic Cancer Day.
This is a devastating disease. With very few symptoms, it hides away until it's too late. 5-year survival rates are very low.
We need to be doing more.

⚡High energy prices are a major issue, not just for residents trying to heat their homes, but also for small businesses which cannot reduce their energy consumption when prices go up.
❓Because of this, I asked the Minister for Energy what plans he has to support small businesses with these costs.

🏃 Cheered on Stepping Stones DS Ambassador, Lloyd on the 3rd day of his triathlon for BBC Children In Need
💧 Spoke about protecting chalk stream rivers, during a debate on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill.

A constituent who has prostate cancer is crocheting these Moustaches in his chemotherapy sessions to raise awareness men's health issues.
Movember has taken off as an awareness and fundraising campaign. It takes real strength to talk about personal issues like cancer and mental health.

🏦 It was a real pleasure to open the new Nationwide branch on Fleet high street, which will soon be the only physical bank left in the constituency.
💷 Although banking is increasingly done online, a physical teller can often still be a huge help.

✅ I'm glad to see that the Government has decided to scrap the role of Police and Crime Commissioner - the Lib Dems have been calling for this for years.
💰 They cost tens of millions of pounds, money that could otherwise be used to fund more frontline officers.

📢 The Lib Dems are calling for a 5% VAT cut for hospitality venues and for the removal of the renewable levy from people's energy bills.
📈 This would inject £12bn back into high street businesses and put £270 back into people's pockets for them to spend on occasional extras.

I welcome the Government's decision to reconsider issuing compensation to #WASPI women.
Hundreds of thousands of women were failed when the age at which they could claim their state pension was changed without their knowledge.
This includes more than 3,000 women in North East Hampshire.
