Women make a significant contribution to our Armed Forces, protecting our way of life. The 2021 Census told us that 452 women living in Eastleigh were veterans.   For International Women’s Day, I join the Royal British Legion in paying tribute to their service. #IWD2026

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 🙌

A huge pleasure to be present in the council chamber as Sir Vince Cable became an Honorary Freeman of the Borough for his political, charity and community work. Hearing the tributes and listening to Vince reminded me of the immeasurable contribution he has made so far in his life.

A moving Service & Act of Remembrance held by the Parish of Mortlake with East Sheen. I was honoured to take the salute as veterans, organisations & community groups took part 🥁 Prayers were said and thanks given to generations whose sacrifice and courage will not be forgotten.

The Lib Dems have over 70 MPs but you'd think Reform does, the way journalists keep banging on about them

LG Election 26 NEWS 🔶️ I'm thrilled to announce that at a members meeting Cllr Margaret Dane was re-selected along with me to stand for East Sheen. Dr Mohsin Khan was selected as the 3rd team member. We've hit the campaigning hard and will continue to serve our community.

Congratulations Mortlake with East Sheen Ministries on the 50th celebration 🕯1975 - 2025 today. The Bishop of Southwark addressed the many who gathered for thanks and song. He spoke of courage and sacrifice, words so relevant across the world.

Ming Campbell will be missed. He has his place in history not just as a Lib Dem icon during his decades in politics but as a sporting champion. Ten years ago we talked and I was blinded by his intelligence and kind nature. Rest in peace.

Two of the premier diversity organisations here at the #LDConf in Bournemouth 🔶️ Thanks go to Lib Dem Women and LDCRE for the lobbying, advocacy and work they do to promote women and equality.

🇬🇧 brilliant BRILLIANT speech by the one and only Tim Farron - a patriot but 'not a nationalist' Ending with flags waved and a battle cry to never ever bow to nationalism. #LDConf 🔶️🔶️🔶️

I have nominated Josh for Party President ⬇️☑ ✅Relentless energy ☑A proven winner ✅An innovative campaigner Just three of the many reasons why Josh would be an exciting prospect as President of the Liberal Democrats 🔶️

Just under an hour to go ⏰🏃

Today @richmondcouncil.bsky.social and Kingston Council stood united to confront violence against women and girls. Powerful words from @eddavey.libdems.org.uk, @munirawilson.bsky.social, survivors & both council leaders on how we can all make a difference. #VAWG #whiteribbon

Today @MuniraWilson.bsky.social and I have written to the Prime Minister, calling on him to ensure that reform of the SEND system has children at its heart. After years of Conservative neglect, the SEND system needs fundamental change. But change must be a step forwards not backwards. 🧵1/

I was so pleased to hear Council Leader Gareth Roberts announce at Full Council that the Freedom of the Borough would be awarded, this year, to Sir Vince Cable. Vince's commitment to charities, organisations and politics in the Borough is well known. Plus, he's a legend.
