This is not just a victory for the people of Hungary, but for all those around the world who believe in international cooperation, democracy and the rule of law 🇭🇺

I find it absolutely shocking that despite being aware of this operation, the Government is still dragging it's feet with rearmament. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cg...

Share your student loan experience! The Treasury Committee in Parliament wants to hear from anyone in the UK who has taken out or repaid a student loan. Your views will help inform how we as MPs scrutinise student finance. Complete the survey here: shorturl.at/Vmm9N Deadline: 5pm, 14 April 2026

This week, astronauts aboard NASA’s Artemis mission reached the farthest point from Earth any human has ever travelled, a breathtaking achievement made possible by global collaboration and shared ambition. It’s a reminder of what we can accomplish when we work together. 1/4

Resident doctors are striking 7-13 April, but NHS care is still available for those who need it. Help keep services free for emergencies: 📞 NHS 111 – urgent but non-life-threatening help 💊 Pharmacy First – common conditions 🚨 999/A&E – life-threatening emergencies only

Today is the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action. Visiting Ukraine last year, I saw first-hand the devastating toll that landmines and explosive weapons leave behind - on communities, on land, on lives. The destruction doesn't end when the fighting stops.

It is heartbreaking to see just how many people are waiting months on end to start cancer treatment after being diagnosed. It cannot continue. We would guarantee 100% of cancer patients to begin treatment within 62 days. @helenmaguiremp.bsky.social

The Lib Dems have long called for closer ties with our European allies. The Prime Minister is finally recognising the risks of isolation at a time of profound geopolitical fragility. Britain cannot go it alone when our security and prosperity depends on cooperation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Crypto donations blocked and overseas donations capped. The Government is finally taking foreign interference in our democracy seriously, and I welcome it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I am completely disgusted by the cowardly antisemitic act that took place in Golders Green overnight. I stand in full solidarity with the Hatzola ambulance service, as well as the Jewish community in Golders Green and across the country who may be shaken by this attack.

If you agree, back our petition to cancel the visit.

For International Women’s Day earlier this month, I wrote about how planning decisions too often overlook women’s safety, and how simple changes could make a real difference. Read it here: commentcentral.co.uk/unsafe-by-de...

The Chancellor says that “Brexit did damage”, and that “this government believes a deeper relationship is in the interest of the whole of Europe”. I’m pleased that she agrees with the Liberal Democrats.

This is awful news. As a mum with a child at university, my heart goes out to the affected students and parents who are undoubtedly worried sick. I’m grateful to the UK Health Security Agency for their swift response and the work they’re doing to contain the outbreak. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce...

I was gravely concerned to hear reports that an RAF base in Cyprus was hit by drone strikes. It is important to state plainly that the Ayatollah presided over a brutal and repressive regime. Few will mourn his passing. 1/6

The Iranian people deserve to live free from a brutal regime. Donald Trump's unilateral and illegal military action won't deliver freedom, peace and security. It will only unleash more bloodshed.

The UK can't be dragged into another protracted Middle Eastern war by a US President. Keir Starmer needs to rule out the use of UK bases for any future unilateral US strikes.

Yesterday in Epsom we launched our East Surrey Unitary Council campaign, and the message is clear: we need a fresh start for East Surrey. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to @eddavey.libdems.org.uk for coming to support our brilliant local campaigners.

People are waiting too long to see their GP. Finally the government announced they'll take on the Lib Dem plan for same-day urgent appointments. But there's still a long way to go.

Stand With Ukraine - #StandWithUkraine

The student finance system is broken. The Lib Dem plan would: 🔶 Halve repayments for someone on £35k within 3 years. 🔶 Reintroduce maintenance grants for the poorest students. 🔶 Write off a proportion of loans after 10 years in the public service. 🔶 Stop governments moving the goalposts.

I was proud to contribute to this important investigation by openDemocracy into the serious concerns surrounding self-swab DNA kits. www.opendemocracy.net/en/enough-an...

Last year, I was delighted to welcome Daisy Maskell and her team to Parliament as they filmed their powerful documentary, "Controlled: Can I Trust My Partner?".

This Government has a track record of stretching funding until it breaks. It’s all well and good providing short-term relief that allows councils to tread water, but will be meaningless if the upcoming white paper fails to deliver real reform on SEND. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I wrote about my priorities for this year in the Epsom and Ewell Times! Have a read here: epsomandewelltimes.com/the-new-year...

I raised this in Parliament because mandatory GP medical markers are a simple and proportionate way to protect public safety. MPs from all parties, and the British Association for Shooting and Conservation, agree - the Government should listen. basc.org.uk/government-r...

I'm hiring two paid interns to join my team for a one month internship starting in March. It's a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in Parliament & the constituency, supporting with casework, research, & communications. Deadline: 11 Feb 2026 Apply here: www.w4mpjobs.org/JobDetails.a...

How we remember the dead reflects how we value the living. On Time To Talk Day, I’m sharing my piece on Horton Cemetery and what it tells us about mental health stigma, past and present. www.lbc.co.uk/article/asyl...

Labour must be far more ambitious in the fight against cancer.

If cancer strikes your child, the last thing you should be worrying about is the cost of getting them to their treatment. So it's right that those costs are covered – and a testament to the parents who have campaigned to help others. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I welcome the focus on tackling sexual abuse in the Armed Forces. But as I said in the Armed Forces Bill this week, we still need clarity on service justice and victims’ access to civilian courts. Accountability matters. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

To mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I signed the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Book of Commitment. We remember the 6 million Jewish people murdered in the Holocaust, and reflect not only on the atrocities of the past but on our responsibility today to ensure it can never happen again.

Our kids deserve protection online. It’s time for a workable plan to keep young people safe from harmful social media. If you back the Lib Dem plan to protect children online with film-style age-rating to ban harmful social media for under 16s, sign this petition: www.libdems.org.uk/ageratings

This week’s government water White Paper will not reassure people in Epsom and Ewell, who are tired of half-measures while rivers like the Hogsmill and River Mole continue to suffer. It offers mere tweaks where real reform is needed.

Allowing China to build a new super-embassy in London is a shameful decision that risks undermining our security. It also sends a chilling message to Hong Kongers, many of whom are a valued part of our Epsom and Ewell community, who came here expecting safety. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cl...

Great to start the year off with a win! After months of campaigning to end pavement parking in Epsom and Ewell - including a Westminster debate, letters to Ministers, and local action - the Government has acted. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Before Christmas I visited Shooting Star Children’s Hospice in Guildford. The care and thought that has gone into creating a calm, dignified space for patients and their families is clear - but I will never forget the heaviness of standing in the room where families grieve beside their children.

Last night’s announcement from the Coalition of the Willing matters. As some seek to redraw borders & discard international agreements, Europe must send a message: sovereignty is non-negotiable. We must stand united, not only in defence of Ukraine, but in our determination to secure lasting peace.

Digital innovation is welcome in the NHS, but I’m very concerned it risks leaving behind people who aren’t online, especially older patients. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Starmer must condemn Trump’s illegal actions in Venezuela

Merry Christmas @ Wes Streeting

Billions linked to sanctioned Russian oligarchs have sat frozen in UK bank accounts while Ukrainians continue to suffer the horror of Putin’s war. I have consistently called for this money to be released, and I welcome the Government’s commitment to finally act. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

NHS dentistry has been torn apart, leaving millions without care. Tweaks with no new funding won’t fix this crisis. We need bold change: guaranteed urgent NHS dental care and an end to dental deserts leaving people in pain. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Hanukkah is meant to be a time of light and joy. I am completely sickened by the news from Bondi yesterday. My thoughts are with the families who are grieving, & with the Jewish community as they come together this holiday. We must stand together in hope and resilience in the face of such hatred.

The cost of living crisis is hitting families in Epsom and Ewell hard. A customs union is the best way to turbocharge our economy and tackle this crisis. I’m proud to back our bill on a customs union today.

I've witnessed the insurmountable bravery & expertise of the Ukrainian emergency services. 633000 explosives neutralized is an incredible feat, but there is still so much work to do. The UK must continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine in its demining efforts. mezha.net/eng/bukvy/uk...

It’s impossible not to be deeply moved by Jacob’s story. His mother, Carly, in the midst of her grief, is bravely spreading this vital message: Privately owned e-scooters are not safe or legal on our roads. Please do not buy them this Christmas season. #NoEmptyChairs @jacobsjourney.bsky.social

In every sphere of society - from our policing to justice system, education to healthcare - it is high time that violence against women and girls is taken deadly seriously. Because we have seen time and time again that when it is not, the cost is deadly. news.sky.com/story/sex-of...
