I have today written to Defra alongside my colleague Ian Roome MP to urge the Government to protect repeat farm visits for children and young people. Farm visits connect young people with the countryside, improve their understanding of food production and support their wellbeing.

It was also lovely to meet Bodi, who has previously won the prestigious Curry Rivel Junior Trophy from the Somerset Small Bore Shooting Association. I learnt that Arlen, another club member, won it the following season! Thank you to everyone at the club for having me.

I recently met with members of Williton Target Shooting Club to hear about their fundraising campaign for a new clubhouse. The club wants a modern space including disabled facilities and classrooms as they hope it will be somewhere younger people and the wider community feel welcome to join.

My constituents cannot be treated as an afterthought just because they live off the gas grid. Heating oil must be regulated with the same protections as mains gas and electricity. Ministers must introduce an emergency price cap now before another winter of soaring energy bills unfolds.

I'm delighted to announce that Liberal Democrat members from across the constituency have unanimously reselected me as their candidate for the next election. Being your MP is the greatest honour of my life. I'm extremely proud of everything my team and I have achieved in just over two years.

I'm proud to represent a constituency that is home to amazing innovation and world-leading businesses. Too often, rural communities are overlooked or forgotten when, in reality, they are ahead of the game. It's about time the Government started listening to them and learning from them.

The Liberal Democrats are the last line that my constituency and this country have against a Reform Government. I stand with my Party and my Leader, who led us to the best ever election result in our party’s history. I fully back him to lead us into the next General Election.

Thank you to The Filo Project for the opportunity to speak at the Devon Dementia Conference. Dementia is a human challenge as much as a healthcare one. I suspect nearly every family has been touched by it in some way, and mine is no exception.

Corridor care has hit a record high, and winter hasn't even started yet. In September, an average of more than 3,300 patients a day were treated in A&E corridors or on wards without a proper bed space. That's almost 100,000 times in a single month. 🧵
