📣 2 years of serving you and our community, and doing politics differently - bringing local people together to share views, taking these directly to government ministers, and making change happen together. All only possible thanks to you. Here’s a snapshot:

🚪💬 Marking 2 years as our MP in the most on brand way possible - knocking on doors to listen to local people, and invite them to my next ‘Coffee with Claire’ event next weekend! Thanks to this great team, and everyone who spoke with us in Stoke Gifford.

2 years ago(!) you elected me as our new local MP. I promised to do politics differently and be active, impactful and approachable. My work serving you will always be shaped by our local priorities, and I’ve valued every conversation. Here’s some of my work serving you so far:

💬 Today, I held my regular advice surgery, this time at the Frenchay Unitarian Chapel. Local people raised a range of issues, including with the NHS, domestic abuse and justice. I can pick issues up on your behalf at surgeries and beyond via: [email protected]

It’s rare I don’t quite know what to say(!) so I’ll say this. Personally, I was sad to see Keir Starmer set out his plans to resign as PM and Labour Party Leader yesterday and I’m grateful for his service. 1/

📺 A classic while on the GB News PMQs Panel on Weds… Apparently I can’t possibly know what Tory Governments did as *checks notes* I wasn’t an MP at the time 🤔 Funnily enough, people who weren’t/aren’t MPs know their government’s policies - not least due to suffering through many!

Nigel Farage and Reform have until nominations close at 4pm today to ditch their Makerfield by-election candidate with brazenly misogynistic views. Or are these views "ok" to Nigel Farage and Reform? 🤔 They’ll show us today.

🧒 A pleasure to visit Patchway Children’s Centre - one of the first Best Start Family Hubs in the country! Sure Start-style services are being brought back, following previous Govts’ cuts. I called for this Hub to be based here. I met the team here, Council team & Cllrs Ian Boulton & Simon Johnson

📺 I was on BBC Politics West today, talking about why our PM was right not to take our country into the US war with Iran (despite pressure from Tories and Reform).  I set out some of our Labour Government’s cost of living support so far, both in response to the conflict and more widely:
