Yesterday, during a debate on Government support for Afghan women and girls, I raised several key issues such as the risk of polio and the need for trained midwives. I also highlighted the incredible work of the Linda Norgrove foundation.

During an Urgent Question on the changes to Inheritance Tax for farmers, I raised points about the impact the initial decision has already had, as well as highlighted the difficulties farmers continue to face.

During the Economic Secretary's banking hub surgery in December, I asked for confirmation on whether the cash hub in Anstruther would be permanent. I'm pleased to share the following response:

After the DWP unexpectedly made a home visit to a constituent, I asked whether this was standard practice. The visit did not follow the safeguards the DWP stated in their response, and I'll be following up on how this was allowed to happen. www.mirror.co.uk/money/dwp-is...

Yesterday on Times Radio, we discussed Venezuela and Trump. Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela - Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate leader, but riding roughshod over international law like this only makes Britain and the world less safe.

This year has shown the real impact of practical, values-led policy to deliver change across the country and in our communities.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful day and I wish everyone a Happy New Year 🎄🧡 For my Christmas card this year, I chose the theme of the United Nations Global Goals and challenged the brilliant Global Goals Team at Bell Baxter High School to design it.

It has been a busy final week in Parliament! You can read about the work I've been doing in my latest newsletter - the final one of the year 🎄🧡 www.wendychamberlain.scot/so/a9Pio8xRd...

As we reach the end of 2025, here is a recap of some of the things my team and I did this year:

I’ve signed this cross-party letter calling on the UK Government to support Gaza’s agricultural sector, including humanitarian corridors for seeds, fertilisers and equipment, to help restore food security, dignity and livelihoods.

After discussing local issues with Enablet's Dundee/Tayport 8–12s, they identified pavement parking as something that impacts safety and accessibility in their community and created the following video: buff.ly/7PmgEvM

I wrote to both the UK and Scottish Governments after a constituent raised concerns about harmful chemicals in period products. I’m disappointed to see responsibility pinned on each other rather than meaningful action being taken. I’ll continue to push for clarity, accountability and safe products.

Delighted to pay tribute to Jane Austen in today’s debate. Although I admit she has no direct link to North East Fife, I like to think she’d have enjoyed sea-bathing in the East Neuk… even if it was a bit chilly, and the sea not always entirely safe for her characters. buff.ly/xQ9eub2

It was great to attend the launch of the World Malaria Report and meet the Ghanaian High Commissioner, Her Excellency Sabah Zita Benson. The report provides vital updates on the state of the fight against malaria, covering areas of progress and the challenges for the future.

Today I raised serious concerns about the Child Maintenance Service, highlighting how the system is failing families. I commended the vital work of Fife Gingerbread and Fife Young Carers in supporting children and families. Families deserve a system that works.

Housing in North East Fife remains a key priority. In my latest blog, I share an update on the work my team and I have been doing to support constituents, engage with Fife Council, and press for action to tackle the housing emergency. Read more here: www.wendychamberlain.scot/post/housing...

Today I raised the impact of falling milk prices on dairy farmers in North East Fife. One constituent faces thousands of pounds in losses due to one-sided contracts set by processors. Farmers need fairer deals and urgent action now.

I'm glad to see the Government's investment in Grangemouth to prevent the loss of over 500 jobs. However, we need a genuine 'Just Transition' that supports workers as our energy system continues to evolve. That means investing in skills and reducing demand through greener homes.

I welcome the UK rejoining the Erasmus scheme. I know that the University of St Andrews in my constituency warmly welcome this decision too and have share my view of the importance of students having the ability to move across borders to gain and exchange knowledge, culture, and experience.

Pension scams can devastate lives. I encourage constituents to learn the warning signs and report any suspicious activity, and for organisations to join the pledge and show their commitment to protecting savers. Find out more here: www.thepensionsregulator.gov.uk/en/pension-s...

Disability Equality Scotland are working with Transport Scotland on a new Active Travel Framework and want to hear from disabled people across Scotland to help make transport more accessible. Share your views here 👇 buff.ly/nXLz79t

It was great to meet with representatives from @braintumourcharity.bsky.social yesterday and learn more about their new report on the financial burden of brain tumours.

Today I raised the proposal to extend the quarry at Lucklaw Hill in Balmullo and highlighted the concerns of the local community about the impact this could have on the surrounding nature.

Great to attend this morning’s event with @ciwf.org.uk, @humaneworlduk.bsky.social and @animallawfdn.bsky.social, highlighting concerns about misleading labelling on meat, dairy and egg products, as well as the need for mandatory Method of Production labelling so consumers can make informed choices.

Really great to visit the Bowhouse market at the weekend and meet so many of the lovely stall owners 🧡

📣 Cupar and St Andrews Roadworks An update to constituents that I am aware of the ongoing disruption caused by the roadworks in Cupar and St Andrews, particularly for local businesses and residents, and I'm continuing to engage with the Scottish Roadworks Commission on this.

It was great meeting with Topping & Company Booksellers of St Andrews to discuss concerns about the potential impact that the proposed Late Payments legislation could have on the book industry.

Below are the opening times over the festive period for local organisations across North East Fife offering help with the cost of living - including foodbanks, community hubs, libraries, and support phonelines.

Great meeting with @suttontrust.bsky.social yesterday and hearing about their work with the University of St Andrews to break down barriers to opportunity.

Yesterday, I raised the urgent concerns I’m hearing from hospitality businesses in North East Fife. One local business expects costs to rise by £150,000 next year - they simply won’t survive without action. Our hospitality sector is in crisis, and the Government must listen.

Great to meet with the Scotch Whisky Association earlier this week to discuss the future of our vital Scotch whisky industry.

Wonderful to be part of The 40% Project which celebrates the women who currently make up 40% of the UK Parliament. An honour to be photographed by the lovely Kit Martin. rps.org/groups/women...

Today I spoke in a debate marking St Andrew’s Day where I celebrated our town’s rich history, the fantastic community organisations and the vital role of the Links Trust. I also highlighted St Andrews’ celebrating 20 years as a Fairtrade town. You can watch my full speech here: youtu.be/nEhbkoPaI9g

Great to meet with representatives from LUSH yesterday and discuss the importance of phasing out animal testing and how it can unlock growth for the wider UK economy.

Lovely to attend the Christmas concert at St John's Church in Cupar on Sunday. Wonderful performances by St Columba's Choir and La Vida 🎶🎄

I met with the Minister for Energy Security to raise concerns about how the ECO4 scheme. Two of my constituents – whose homes were left damaged and still unrepaired – shared their experiences directly with the Minister. You can read more about their cases here: buff.ly/SnxMQX6

I raised my constituent’s deeply distressing visa case in Parliament today - an 89-year-old, disabled Ukrainian refugee left without support or compassion. I was glad to hear the Minister commit to helping, and I’ll keep pushing for a swift and fair resolution for her.

I spent Small Business Saturday meeting local businesses in Cupar and St Andrews. With spiralling costs and a damaging Budget, small businesses need real support now. Read my latest blog on why I’m fighting for action to protect North East Fife’s small businesses. buff.ly/gdiutAC

Over 3400 people in North East Fife have spoken out against mandatory digital IDs. I’ve set out in my latest blog why I’m standing with constituents and urging the Government to think again. 👇 www.wendychamberlain.scot/post/scrap-m...

Communities across North East Fife are rapidly losing access to cash and in person banking services. This week, I challenged the Government on this - you can read more in my latest blog post: www.wendychamberlain.scot/post/access-...

For my Christmas card this year, I chose the theme of the United Nations Global Goals and challenged the brilliant Global Goals Team at Bell Baxter High School to design it 🎄🌍 Thank you to everyone who took part! ✨

Go-Flexi is an on-demand bus service that provides a flexible way of travelling around rural North East Fife - it can be booked via the Go-Flexi app or by phone. For more details on Go-Flexi and how to book, visit www.go-flexi.org

Yesterday, I raised the importance of access to cash and access to banking services which are vital for many people in North East Fife, yet are rapidly dwindling in numbers. I was glad to attend the banking hub surgery today to further discuss this.

Great visiting Interiors at Forty Four in Cupar on Small Business Saturday last week - picked up one of their fab Christmas snowflakes! ❄️

Great attending The Listed Property Owners’ Club briefing event yesterday. There are over 500,000 listed buildings across the UK, including around 3219 listed buildings in North East Fife. I pledge to do all I can to support our local listed property owners.

Today during a debate on acquired brain injuries, I highlighted the incredible work of Graham Geddes who founded the Headway North East Fife branch. I have tabled an EDM celebrating his success - edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo... And you can find out more here: www.headway.org.uk/news-and-cam...
