£25 billion a year. That's what Starmer's timid EU reset is costing the UK. We can't tackle the cost-of-living crisis while clinging to Farage and the Tories' terrible Brexit deal and Labour's half-measures won't cut it either.

Yesterday was a big day. I attended the King’s Speech to hear about the plans for the next Parliamentary session and then I caught up with ITV regional news about what it all means for North East Hampshire 🎥✨

Today I've written to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions about the ongoing failures at the Capita Civil Service Pension Scheme. Constituents who have given decades of public service are being left without income for months, unable to pay bills or buy food.

100 years of Sir David Attenborough. 🌍 For nearly a century, he's been the voice that brought the wild into our living rooms, from rainforest canopies to ocean depths, from blue whales to birds of paradise. He didn't just show us the natural world; he taught us to love it, and to fight for it.

The results are in and I want to say a huge thank you. 🔶Thank you to everyone who voted Liberal Democrats. We held all the seats we were defending and gained one seat on each council - Hart and Hampshire.

For Deaf Awareness Week this week, I wanted to highlight an amazing session the Women and Equalities select committee had with senior representatives from the BSL Advisory Board and the British Deaf Association.

🏥 Our hospital rebuild cannot wait. I am leading a petition to bring forward the rebuild of Basingstoke Hospital and I will be taking our voices directly to Number 10. Sign up following this link: www.alexbrewer.uk/campaigns/re... #northeasthampshire #mp #basingstokehospital

Let's clear something up. Some political opponents have been spreading misinformation about my voting record this week. I was absent from Westminster due to personal circumstances, something Parliament's system does not reflect.

Two Jewish men were stabbed in broad daylight in Golders Green yesterday in what police have declared a terrorist incident. This is not just an attack on two individuals, it is an attack on an entire community that has already endured arson, vandalism, and hate.

My team and I are here to help. Swipe through the images above to see a few highlights. Whether you are dealing with delays, being passed from pillar to post, or simply not getting the answers you deserve, that is exactly what we are here for.

Your chance to have your say on Personal Independence Payments (PIP) 📢 The Timms Review is asking disabled people, carers, experts and organisations to submit evidence on how Personal Independence Payment can be made fairer and more effective.

Following on from the positive response I had from last weeks voting summary I am doing it again. Here's how I voted last week, and a few reasons behind each decision. Because my votes should never be a mystery. #northeasthampshire #mp #politics #ukpolitics

By the Government's own estimations, investing in women-led companies could unlock a whopping £250 billion in economic growth. Something we all need right now. So if women entrepreneurs are an untapped engine for economic growth, why isn't the Government treating them like one?

💧 An update on water, one of my top priorities in Westminster and something residents across North East Hampshire raise with me constantly. I've seen the sewage gushing into our rivers with my own eyes. Fish dying. Waterways polluted. Communities let down. 😤

🚨 A Lib Dem policy win worth shouting about. 🔶 The government has announced it will break the link between gas and electricity prices, moving old renewable generators onto fixed-price contracts, just as Ed Davey called for last July and we adopted as party policy in our Bournemouth conference.

A day in the life of an MP in the constituency 🎬 I often get asked what I get up to in North East Hampshire when I'm not in Westminster. This day was a good example.

Special Educational Needs is consistently one of the top of the issues in my inbox. I’ve signed two open letters, one on SEND and one on diagnoses in Hampshire – issues that my colleagues and I are taking action on. #SEND #ADHD #Inclusion #SpecialEducationalNeeds #mp #northeasthampshire

🏡 Rural households shouldn't be penalised just for where they live. I spoke in Parliament today about the real cost facing families across North East Hampshire: higher bills, lower energy efficiency, and a £987 fuel poverty gap compared to urban households. I'm calling on the Government to act.

The Netflix doc has everyone talking about the manosphere, and rightly so. It's influencing a generation of young men and having negative impacts on men and women. As your MP and a member of the Women and Equalities Select Committee, I've been pushing for answers on what's driving this.

Happy Easter to everyone in North East Hampshire and beyond, as well as to your loved ones. I'm looking forward to recharging over the long weekend, so that I can continue to deliver for local people. I hope you are all similarly able to enjoy the holiday, in whichever way that suits you.

🛢️ Petrol prices affect everyone. I've heard from small businesses, commuters, and families, who are all feeling the pressure. ⛽ That's why the Lib Dems would cut fuel duty by 10%, bringing down prices at the pump by 12p per litre. With no end in sight for Trump's Iran War, something must be done.

Wishing a warm and pleasant Passover to all those observing. Chag Pesach Sameach!

(1/2) I'm pleased to report that the faulty VodafoneThree mobile mast in Elvetham Heath has now been repaired. Thank you to Elvetham Heath Parish Council, and in particular Cllr Nick White, for flagging this issue to me, and for their wider aid with my efforts to hold network operators to account.

In case you missed it - I joined BBC Politics South last Sunday to raise a number of issues affecting our area.

Wishing all participants the very best of luck ahead of tomorrow's Fleet Half Marathon. It's a fantastic event and a great showcase for our area. Enjoy the day and good luck 🏅

Energy bills are still too high, and rising, and the homes we're building today will shape what residents pay for decades to come. That's why, when @maxwilkinsoncheltenham brought his Sunshine Bill to the House of Commons last year, I spoke in the debate to make the case for sustainable planning.

Businesses don't just drive our economy, they are our economy. That's why last week's Liberal Democrat Business Summit mattered. #business #growth #mp #northeasthampshire #daythelife #entrepreneur

The Government has imposed local government reorganisation on Hampshire. Of the options on the table, the 'North Hampshire' unitary council combining Basingstoke & Deane, Hart and Rushmoor is the best outcome for North East Hampshire. #localgovernment #northeasthampshire #mp

I took our campaign for a new Basingstoke Hospital to the Chancellor's door, hand-delivering a letter calling for the funding to rebuild. The redevelopment has been delayed for too long, the maintenance costs are astronomical. Sign my petition here: www.alexbrewer.uk/campaigns/re...

I am absolutely THRILLED that we have succeeded in having the road leading to Hatch Park repaired. It has taken huge amounts of time and energy from the residents campaigning, and from my team and me speaking to the councils. We have finally done it. Now we must get the road formally adopted.

With news of gas price hikes this morning, households are bracing for yet more energy price rises and the Government has its eyes closed. This warrants an emergency COBRA meeting. A £500 hit to household bills is coming, and people deserve a plan, not silence. #gas #energy #local #hampshire

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of joining the Fleet Lions and the Hart Voluntary Action at their Get Involved Volunteer Recruitment Fair! The event gave people the chance to find out how their time and skills could make a real difference to organisations right here in our community!

Out now! Have a look at my latest piece in the Basingstoke Gazette where I comment on the business crisis and how the Government must do more to support small and medium sized businesses! #business #smallbusiness #northeasthampshire #hampshire #basingstokegazette #news

Rural households in North East Hampshire are being hit hard by rising heating oil prices already paying more than urban areas and with far less protection, as heating oil customers aren't covered by Ofgem's energy price cap. On Wednesday I met with the Minister for Energy to raise these concerns.

Today in Parliament was the International Women’s Day debate. To be surrounded by so many brilliant women, in a room so rich with history, was a powerful reminder of how far we have come. It wasn’t long ago that women couldn’t stand for Parliament or even vote. But we still have a long way to go.

Let’s talk about planning. The Government has stripped local communities of their power and our local plan is now effectively useless. The same local plan that Governments of all colours have encouraged local areas to prepare to protect their areas from inappropriate development.

Yesterday was a frustrating day in Parliament.   The Government blocked vital Lib Dem amendments to a Bill that could have made a real difference to children and families across the country.

I've voted on a whole range of legislation this week, and I know that what goes on inside those chambers doesn't always feel relevant to everyday life. That's why I'm sharing a short series about the Bills I've voted on, explain my vote, and share why I believe it matters. Watch this space! 👀

Happy International Women’s Day! It’s an honour to serve as the first female MP for North East Hampshire in our most diverse Parliament yet. There's still much to do to advance equality and inclusion, but today, please join me in celebrating the women around you 🙌

(1) The Great Plastic Count is a fantastic initiative that I've participated in previously. By recording the plastic you throw away for one week, you can provide researchers and campaigners with the data they need to push for better solutions and reduce waste across the UK.

👋 Hi North East Hampshire! Here are my top highlights from another busy week as your MP: 🏥 Spoke about the continued delays to the Basingstoke Hospital rebuild and called on the Government to bring the project forward.

(1) Our area has seen some attacks by (often young) people thinking it is somehow amusing to use powerful catapults to kill or injure local wildlife, and fire stones through people's windows. Currently, anyone can buy these weapons – and there are no age restrictions. This needs to stop.

👋 Hi North East Hampshire! This week, as your MP, I progressed local issues, worked to improve things for businesses, voted to improve children's wellbeing and delivered for residents, both metaphorically and literally.

(1) On Monday, I hosted a number of local business leaders at a North East Hampshire Business Breakfast, to discuss the key issues facing small and medium enterprises nearby. All in attendance shared several similar struggles, such as business rates and employer national insurance contributions.

I'm proud to support my Lib Dem colleague Pippa Heylings's effort to have chalk stream rivers recognised as a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site. There are around 200 chalk stream rivers in the world, 85% of which are in the UK, and 3 of which are in North East Hampshire.

Today my Liberal Democrat colleagues and I voted to protect our children from harmful social media platforms. We are calling for film-style age-rating to ban harmful social media for under 16s.
