Great to meet with the CEO of Anyone’s Child. We discussed how a one-size-fits-all approach to drug policy, focused on bans and criminalisation, can do more harm than good, particularly for people with complex mental health needs. We must do all we can to prevent tragic drug deaths.

Deepfakes, coordinated online harassment campaigns, and now covert filming. The technology-facilitated abuse of women is growing rapidly; the law cannot keep playing catch-up. It’s time we tackle the root cause of this abuse: misogyny. I’m campaigning to make misogyny a hate crime. Read more.👇

I am deeply saddened by the horrific attack on Oleksandriya, a city Bath shares close ties & a friendship agreement with.

As Putin's war continues to destroy lives across Ukraine, we must not look away.

I encourage anyone who can to support the Friends of Oleksandriya Appeal.

Thank you to everyone who has objected to the development next to The Bell. Bath's nightlife, music scene & community spirit are always worth fighting for. I've lodged my objection alongside more than 1,000 Bath residents. Let's hope we've done enough to protect this much-loved local venue.

đź”¶ Backing Bath's businesses. I met local business leaders through the Business West initiative to discuss the challenges they face, from Brexit & rising business rates to the National Insurance hike. Businesses are the backbone of our local economy. I'll always stand up for them in Parliament.

This #HospiceCareWeek, I'm joining Bath constituents and other MPs in calling on the Government to make hospice funding a national priority.

Everyone deserves kindness, dignity and high-quality care at the end of their life. Our hospices need the funding to deliver this.

Sign the petition.👇

🎶 I’m backing the Bell

We cannot allow their live music nights to be put at risk of being silenced.

Great to catch up with Vanessa from BEAT, the UK’s leading eating disorder charity. With the Government’s Mental Health Strategy set to be published in the coming months, we’ll be pressing for it to properly address the national eating disorder crisis. We won't let them ignore eating disorders.

I'm delighted to be part of the Wetlands Champions Leadership Group, working with WWT to advocate for the protection & restoration of our wetlands.🌱 Wetlands are incredibly important. They provide resilience during heatwaves, & are home to a variety of plants & wildlife! We must preserve them.

🎶The Bell’s live music is part of Bath’s culture. We must protect it. It cannot be right that a new development next door could threaten this. We need more homes, but not at the expense of the communities & businesses that make Bath what it is. I’m formally objecting & urging others to join me.

I was appalled to see reports that members of Bath University Rugby Club were allegedly planning to spike new students. Sports clubs must stamp out this culture, & universities must educate students on the warning signs. Spiking is a criminal offence. Any allegation must be taken seriously.

Heat networks can deliver cheaper, cleaner heating for people, while cutting emissions.🏠 My visit to Greenwich Peninsula showed me what’s possible. The Government must remove barriers & unlock investment to give businesses the confidence to deliver more projects like this across the country.⚡

Escaping domestic abuse marks the start of a long journey to recovery. Survivors need long-term, sustained support to recover & regain their independence. This Domestic Abuse Awareness Month, we must fight to ensure every survivor can access support to rebuild their lives & move forward.

After Brexit, the UK left EGNOS, a European service that improves GPS accuracy & reliability helping air ambulances operate in challenging conditions. When every second counts and lives are at stake, crews should have every tool available to them. We must rejoin the programme.

Trump's war in Iran is pushing up fuel prices, hitting drivers with a Trump Tax at the pump.

Diesel has now hit ÂŁ2 a litre in the UK. Families cannot afford to keep paying the price.

Sign our @libdems.org.uk petition calling for an immediate 10p cut to fuel duty.👇

Electrically assisted pedal bikes help cyclists get around, particularly in hilly Bath. But many are being modified to exceed the 15.5mph limit, posing a danger to road users & pedestrians, while unsafe lithium batteries are readily available online. We need stronger regulation now.

Stop using 'protecting women and girls' as an excuse to stoke hate and division.

1 in 7 women in the UK will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I’m continuing my call for better access to screening and for all risk factors to be considered. We must ensure every woman can access the screening and support she needs.
