This Remembrance Sunday, we honour those from our communities and across the Commonwealth who gave everything in the service of others. Their memory reminds us of the enduring value of peace and compassion. #RemembranceDay

Local businesses are not only the backbone of our economy but also central to building a strong sense of community. I was delighted to visit Elements, run by award-winning chef Gary Townsend, and to see first-hand the talent and dedication in our local community.

As a member of the Menopause APPG I was delighted to highlight our work to the Health Secretary Wes Streeting. Throughout the past year i have taken part in the APPGs enquiries and have met with groups like Menopause Mandate to call for better access to menopause support and treatment.

I have signed Max Wilkinsons Early Day Motion, highlighting the unacceptable language used by Sarah Pochin this weekend. The conduct of MPs reflects on all of us, and I believe that the Reform party must suspend the whip from Sarah Pochin to send a clear message that racism will not be tolerated.

Our national security requires stability. This applies to everything from the components in our fighter jets to the food on our table. That is why I asked the Government for a meeting to discuss support for Scottish businesses impacted by Labours recent tax hikes. #Tax #NationalSecurity

"Andrew has failed our King and Royal family and betrayed the values of the British people. "He should show some contrition by returning every penny of rent that he's not paid while disgracing his office." @LisaSmartMP.bsky.social

Child sexual abuse is one of the most despicable crimes and I support any action that will deliver justice for victims. That is why this morning I signed the Liberal Democrat Early Day Motion urging the Government to establish a statutory public enquiry into child sexual abuse.

I have written to the Health Secretary requesting that he uphold his promise to the Lobular Moon Shot Project and fund research into Lobular Breast Cancer. Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer will affect nearly 4 million people in the next 10 years and must be tackled. #cancersucks#LobularMoonShotProject

While I welcome the ceasefire in Gaza, humanitarian aid must reach those who need it. Food and medical supplies are the first step in easing the appalling conditions families face. I have written to the Government asking what steps they are taking to ensure aid reaches Gaza.

Small local businesses are the backbone of our economy and give our towns the character that big chains simply can’t. That’s why, at PMQs, I asked the Prime Minister whether he really believes Labour’s recent tax hikes are making things fair for small businesses.

On Monday I gave a speech on the impact of baby loss. I wanted to highlight the hard work of Louise Caldwell who’s tireless campaigning has resulted in the creation of multiple baby loss rooms, helping many mothers and families through their trauma.

This week I and my #LiberalDemocrat colleagues have signed a joint letter by @maxwilkinsoncheltenham and @libdemvictoria to the Prime Minister opposing mandatory digital ID cards. We were at the forefront of opposing mandatory ID cards under the last Labour Government and are ready to do so again.

Alongside Mike Martin MP, I’ve written to the PM and Foreign Secretary about our constituents Margaret and Malcolm, aboard an aid flotilla to Gaza. They face escalating threats and we’re urging the UK Government to act urgently to protect them and press Israel to safeguard all humanitarian vessels.

I spoke in the Chamber on the Employment Rights Bill, drawing on my own family’s experience with zero-hours contracts. I made the case for a system of work that is flexible, fair and secure - ensuring that everyone can access employment in a way that truly works for them.

#ArtificialIntelligence could boost productivity and growth, but experts warn of its risks without proper regulations. I asked the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology if she will fulfill the AI Bill promised by her predecessor to ensure Britain's safety.

#FreeSpeech is a vital part of our democracy. As a member of the #LiberalDemocrats I believe we must allow people's voices to be heard without fear of arrest and prosecution. That is why on Monday I asked the Home Seretary to consider reassessing the proscription of Palestine Action. #LibDemsListen

PETITION: MILNGAVIE AND BEARSDEN HEALTH AND CARE CENTRE The Milngavie and Bearsden community needs a new local health and care centre. Residents and professionals need these improved services to deliver the health outcomes we need. www.edlibdems.org.uk/healthcentre

I was proud to join with my Liberal Democrats colleagues to support our farmers at the #FarmersProtest in London today. Our family farms keep us fed and they need our support. That’s why we’re calling on the UK Government to axe their tax on farmers.

As we move towards a sustainable future, we need to make sure we bring everyone with us. It was great to meet with NESO to hear about what they’re doing to make sure we have the energy we need in the future.

Welcome to my Bluesky account. Stay tuned for updates on my work helping our community in Mid Dunbartonshire and in the House of Commons.
