I've had a great few days in Brighton for Lib Dem Conference, and as always I've had a busy schedule.
There's been a lot of networking and late nights, but I've also been speaking on motions, fringes and roundtables.
Bring on York!

In December 2016 MPs voted 135 to 2 to ratify the convention on violence against women. Sarah Olney had been an MP for fifteen days, and she voted for it. She scores plus 1.58, 34th of 1,609.

It's time we hold water companies to account and move to a model of public ownership.
A model of mutual ownership would mean water companies are owned by their customers, investing in infrastructure rather than shareholder profit.
A further intervention I made in the fracking debate, asking about a National Screening of the People's Emergency Briefing.

This last week I sat in a debate about banning fracking. Whilst I didn't get to make a speech, I did make some interventions, 2 of which are here.
