Following the publication of the report into Sara Sharif’s murder, I’ve done more interviews than I could imagine - calling for recommendations to be urgently implemented, #Surrey County Council’s Children’s Services to be put into special measures and those responsible to come before MPs.

Please read my statement on the outcome of the Child Safeguarding Practice Review into the appalling murder of Sara Sharif. No child should ever have to die like this.

The Prime Minister talks the talk on supporting an independent BBC, but he refuses to walk the walk. Robbie Gibbs must go.

Donald Trump is coming for the BBC and for your wallets. I urged the Prime Minister to stand up for the 23.8 million licence fee paying households, and tell Trump he won't get a penny.

Congratulations to @Victoria-Collins.bsky.social - newly elected Vice President of the Liberal Democrats.

Congratulations to @JoshBabarinde.bsky.social - newly elected President of the Liberal Democrats.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

I was delighted to meet with representatives from @camraofficial.bsky.social to talk about what pubgoers and beer drinkers want ahead of the Budget and discuss the challenges the trade is facing, including business rates, VAT, Employer National Insurance contributions and beer taxes.

This Remembrance Sunday, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We must never forget them — nor can we forget the veterans and serving personnel who continue to protect our freedom.

I’ve placed crosses on behalf of #Woking at Parliament’s Garden of Remembrance to place a tribute to those who have been lost in the service of our country.

Great to help open #Woking’s annual business event, Woking Means Business, this morning. Pleased to support our amazing local businesses including Porky Whites - it’s great to see so many businesses positive about the future.

Whilst I'm relieved that #Woking resident William Smith has handed himself in following his mistaken release, it is ludicrous that the prison system is relying on convicted criminals doing the right thing to ensure that they serve the full extent of their sentences.

I’m pleased that William Smith from #Woking is now back in custody. The Government still has serious questions to answer - they need to explain why he was wrongly released in the first place and rebuild the public’s confidence in the justice system. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cj...

After an appalling series of failures, including a prisoner from #Woking wrongly being released, I’ve done the media round this evening saying Ministers must face MPs and be held to account for this prison gates fiasco. Recess must be cancelled! 😡

As the Member of Parliament for #Woking, I’m aware that a prisoner was wrongly released from Wandsworth Prison yesterday, and also that this person is a Woking resident and his offences were predominantly within Woking.

This is yet another grave mistake from the Government. The public deserves a full explanation about how this has happened again. It’s utterly unacceptable that public safety has been put at risk yet again. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5...

Pleased to open the #Surrey Development Forum Conference in #Woking this morning - it’s vital everyone, whether that be councils, developers, housing associations or residents, work together to solve the housing crisis.

Delighted to see the UEFA European Women's Championship Trophy at Parliament to celebrate the @englandfootball.bsky.social’s victory! The #Lionesses back-to-back victories has inspired a generation of women and girls - we now need more investment in women’s sport to keep up.

As MPs finally start debate on the Hillsborough Law, I want to pay tribute to the families and survivors of Hillsborough and so many other tragedies and scandals. This wouldn't be happening without their courage and tenacity. Now let's make the law as strong as it can be.

Water companies including Affinity Water in #Woking are being ordered to address harmful chemicals in drinking water. Everyone deserves access to safe drinking water, we can’t allow our water supplies to continue to be polluted - this needs to change. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Very proud to have joined colleagues this week to mark the 75th anniversary of the rebuilding of the House of Commons Chamber after the Second World War.

Asylum seekers, like the Shafaee family who resettled here in #Woking after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, face a broken system. It's time to fix that, restore fairness, and renew Britain’s proud tradition of offering sanctuary to those in need. youtu.be/4JpA48jjPK4

Toffee and I had a lots of fun judging this year’s Christmas card competition! A huge thank you to all the talented primary school pupils from across #Woking constituency who took part - your entries were fantastic and made choosing a winner very tough!

Tired of the same old scare campaigns? Choose hope this Halloween with the Lib Dems 🎃👻

Thank you to the #Woking News and Mail for covering my appointment as the @libdems.org.uk’ Immigration Spokesperson - as well as being a constituency MP, I will be pushing the Government to deliver a compassionate, effective and fair immigration system.
www.wokingnewsandmail.co.uk/news/woking-...

People are rightly angry about the state of the asylum system in the UK and I was pleased to have my first speech as the new @libdems.org.uk Spokesperson for Immigration and Asylum covered on BBC Radio 4. Listen here 👇

"This isn’t a conflict between two equal sides. It’s the ongoing normalisation of occupation, apartheid & settler colonialism.” A powerful discussion yesterday with Dr Halper of ICAHD briefing Lib Dem Parliamentarians on the situation in #Palestine. Thank you @willforster.bsky.social for hosting!

As #Woking’s MP, I just voted to stop Nigel Farage’s plan to undermine our human rights. Thankfully, the @libdems.org.uk and other MPs voted down a coalition of Tories, Reform and others who wanted to withdraw us from the European Convention on Human Rights.

Liberal Democrat MPs just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR. Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into Trump's America. We won't let him.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 💰 £500 million debt write off for Woking 🗳️ Elections happening in Surrey next May 🏛️ East and West Surrey councils established in 2027

I helped craft this parliamentary report - we need more land value capture to deliver the affordable housing and infrastructure my constituency of #Woking needs. It’s a huge shame the Government just cut it for developers in London. publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5901/cm...

The use of asylum hotels must end. The Conservatives agreed these shocking asylum contacts - they were a disaster then and remain a disaster under Labour. This Government claims it will end hotel use, yet has taken no meaningful action. That must change! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

LANDO NORRIS WINS THE MEXICO CITY GRAND PRIX! | #F1 #MCLAREN

Last week Liberal Democrat MP @willforster.bsky.social asked if local elections will be cancelled for a second year because of local government reorganisation. Starmer did not rule out a further delay.

Even though #Woking is just 16 miles from Heathrow Airport, we have no rail link to our country's busiest airport. I've called on the Transport Secretary to deliver new railway connections to Heathrow, if the airport expands.

The @the-independent.com has covered my campaign for #Woking to get a train link to Heathrow. Most of the railway line already exists - if the airport expands, the Government should ensure we finally get the rail link we need. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

With rumours circulating that local elections in #Surrey and across the country might be delayed for a further year, I asked Kier Starmer at #PMQs this week for a cast-iron guarantee that voters in #Woking will not be denied their democrat right for a second year in a row.

I’ve had such a busy week - speaking on immigration, asking a #PMQ and pushing for a #Heathrow to #Woking train line. Whereas, my dog Toffee has been having the time of his life hanging out with his mates at dog day care!

The Prime Minister should tell voters whether their elections will be delayed by another year, not dodge the question. Democracy delayed is democracy denied.

Earlier today, I asked the Prime Minister at #PMQs to guarantee that local elections will go ahead next May. He refused! Democracy isn’t optional - people in #Woking deserve their say at the ballot box. www.wokingnewsandmail.co.uk/news/politic...

It’s appalling that Kier Starmer didn’t rule out postponing elections in my constituency of #Woking, across #Surrey and elsewhere in the country at #PMQs today! www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

At #PMQs today, the Prime Minister refused to guarantee that local elections in #Woking and across the country will go ahead next year! This leaves voters in the dark over whether they’ll get their say at the ballot box. www.willforster.co.uk/news/article...

Last week, I visited the amazing charity @walkthewalk.bsky.social who are based in #Woking. I went for a walk with their Chief Executive to talk about their work to expand mammogram testing - and was shown a bra inspired by HG Wells’ tripod from War of the Worlds!

Along with #LibDem colleagues, I’ve backed a campaign to save hospices. Thankfully our two hospices covering #Woking are strong and resilient, but many terminally ill patients across the county are facing cuts to vital hospice care. www.wokingnewsandmail.co.uk/news/hospice...

The @libdems.org.uk and I have written to the Conservative leader urging her to condemn the comments by one of her MPs who said large numbers of legally settled families must be deported, in order to ensure the UK is mostly “culturally coherent”. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Autumn is here! 🍂

FOUR Lib Dem GAINS - from the Conservatives, Labour and the Green Party - to make seven wins from ten in this week's by-elections. Check out these stonking results 🔽
