I fear we could have a situation where Trump comes to our country, is honoured with a lavish dinner at one of our finest palaces, yet no one reminds him that he has the power to stop the horrifying starvation, deaths and captivities in Gaza. https://t.co/R7gc0HfzEe

I'm boycotting the state banquet to send a message to both Donald Trump and Keir Starmer that they cannot close their eyes and wish away the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Donald Trump can stop this catastrophe in Gaza and get the hostages released.

Dominic Grieve is absolutely right. The Conservative Party has completely lost its moorings. Petrified that they are being munched by Reform, they just disappear ever faster down the far-right rabbit hole. Doomed.

We support those communities that want 20mph where people are

Had a brilliant time at #Woking’s @TheLightbox last night for the opening of their Andy Warhol exhibition. A bold, vibrant celebration of pop art - well worth a visit if you’re in town!

#Woking’s community spirit is so strong, I’ve been to four village fetes today! Byfleet Parish Day, Knaphill Village Show, Lakeview Fun Day and Woking Park Community Day were all amazing - well done to all the volunteers to make it all happen!

Good to talk to the @Woking_NewsMail about my recent meeting with activists concerned about climate change. As #Woking’s MP, I will continue to campaign to stop sewage going in our rivers and for greater action on climate change. https://t.co/F06YWSed7k

Liberal Democrats have been leading the fight to scrap Ofwat and replace it with a tougher regulator that will take action against polluters. Today, the Government appears to have finally listened. We will be holding their feet to the fire to ensure these promises are delivered

#Woking has a long history as a constituency of supporting and welcoming refugees. I spoke in a debate on refugee citizenship rights to call for a fair and effective asylum system that upholds our obligations and treats people with dignity. Full Speech: https://t.co/vOnlBs5f05

Met with a group of #Woking constituents who were taking part in the #ActNowChangeForever lobby of Parliament organised by the Climate Coalition. Great to chat about our shared passion to protect the environment and fight climate change.
