16 Jul 2026Defence & SecurityangryI spoke to Metro about the abhorrent new warfare tactics employed by Russia in its illegal war against Ukraine. Read it here: metro.co.uk/2026/07/15/r...
8 Jul 2026Defence & Securitymeasuredwww.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympi...
8 Jul 2026Defence & SecurityangryThis raises serious questions about the decision making within the International Olympic Committee. Opposition to this cannot simply be chalked up to ‘anti-Russian sentiment’. It’s about not legitimising a regime that is waging an illegal war & committing countless war crimes.
27 Jun 2026Health & NHSempatheticPTSD can last a lifetime, and often doesn't surface until years down the line. Early recognition, especially within the NHS, is vital. To anyone struggling, support is there. Visit combatstress.org.uk.
27 Jun 2026Defence & SecuritycelebratoryToday is Armed Forces Day, and also PTSD Awareness Day. As a veteran, both mean a great deal to me. I visited @combatstress.bsky.social, an incredible charity right here in our constituency in Leatherhead, supporting veterans with their mental health.
25 Jun 2026Defence & SecurityempatheticI send my deepest condolences to the families of those killed, and to their colleagues at Norwegian People’s Aid. 4/4
25 Jun 2026Defence & SecurityempatheticAs Chair of the APPG for Explosive Weapons and their Impact, I have met people doing this work. I know the risks they face every day, and I know the incredible bravery they demonstrate with every mission. 3/4
25 Jun 2026Defence & SecurityangryHumanitarian workers are protected under international law. That protection has to mean something. I hope the UK Government will join me in condemning Russia in the strongest possible terms for this unconscionable act, and for its continued aggression toward the Ukrainian people. 2/4
25 Jun 2026Defence & SecurityangryI am completely appalled to learn of the deaths of two humanitarian de-miners who were struck by a Russian missile while doing some of the most dangerous and selfless work imaginable. 1/4
22 Jun 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredThis cycle has to end. Britain deserves a politics that puts leadership above internal party drama - and until we reform how we elect our governments, we'll keep living through this chaos. 3/3
22 Jun 2026MP & ParliamentangryEvery time we treat the highest seat in our country like musical chairs, our soft power takes a hit. While Labour MPs spend the summer choosing their next leader, we have a cost of living crisis that won't wait and Russian aggression on our doorstep. 2/3
22 Jun 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredIt's hard to feel happy about today's outcome. This will be our seventh Prime Minister in a decade. 1/3
19 Jun 2026TransportmeasuredIf you use trains to Central London, please go and make your voice heard. The more people who turn up and demand better, the harder it is for SWR to ignore us. Can’t make it in person? Fill in the online form instead - every response counts! 3/3 www.southwesterntimetable.com
19 Jun 2026TransportmeasuredThis is exactly the kind of opportunity we’ve been waiting for. We are a commuter town. Our residents deserve a train service that reflects that - and that means restoring the frequency we had before Covid. 2/3
19 Jun 2026TransportmeasuredEpsom, Ewell, Ashtead & Leatherhead deserve better trains - & next week, you can do something about it! SWR is consulting on a full timetable refresh - the first since 2004 - and they’ll be at London Waterloo on Thursday 25 June, 2pm - 8pm, to hear from passengers directly. 1/3
17 Jun 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredThe time for complacency was over yesterday - it is time to sufficiently fund the Defence Investment Plan. 2/2 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
17 Jun 2026Defence & SecurityangryFive years ago this would have stayed headline news for a week. But this latest act of brazen aggression from Russia is now part of the cycle we find ourselves in: Russia acts, the UK Government responds with firm words, but not with action. 1/2
11 Jun 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredAs a veteran, I know how critical this situation is, and the Liberal Democrats have long been calling for proper defence funding. Healey has done the right thing, and for the sake of our nation's security, I am personally very relieved that someone in Cabinet has finally taken a stand. 2/2
11 Jun 2026Defence & SecurityangryThe writing has been on the wall for months but John Healey said it himself here - the Government has been "unable" and the Treasury "unwilling" to fund our national defence. 1/2
9 Jun 2026Culture & CommunityempatheticEvery person should be free to practise their faith without fear of violence. My thoughts are with the Ahmadi Muslim community, here in Epsom & Ewell and across the world. 2/2
9 Jun 2026Defence & SecurityempatheticI was really shocked to hear of the horrific attack on Ahmadi Muslim security volunteers outside the Bait-ul-Aqsa Mosque in Pakistan on Friday. 1/2
3 Jun 2026Health & NHScelebratoryRemarkable news for pancreatic cancer patients - a daily pill that could double survival time. This is great progress and is exactly what happens when brilliant scientists are backed and well funded. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
29 May 2026Health & NHSmeasuredWe can't ask pharmacists to do more while doing little to close the funding gap. 2/2 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
29 May 2026Health & NHSmeasuredGood to see Pharmacy First being expanded - it'll mean quicker care for patients and less pressure on GPs. But I keep hearing from pharmacies like Horton Pharmacy that they're really struggling thanks to rising business rates and NIC costs. 1/2
20 May 2026Energy & Net ZeroangryYou cannot support consumers and Putin's war machine at the same time. The answer is clean, homegrown energy, not a lifeline to the Kremlin. 2/2
20 May 2026Defence & SecurityangryI fought for so long to see Russian oil sanctioned. To see these sanctions now watered down is deeply disappointing, and undermines our national stance of steadfastly standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
19 May 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredFunding defence by cutting aid shores up greater instability, and greater cost, for the future. Britain shouldn't have to choose between the two. 3/3
19 May 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredCutting international aid makes other countries poorer and less stable. Ultimately this instability affects us from conflict to hunger that spreads beyond borders. International aid is the thing that stops these crises becoming catastrophic. 2/3
19 May 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredI've signed an open letter to the Prime Minister with veterans from across His Majesty's Armed Forces, and I want to explain why this matters. 1/3 www.thetimes.com/uk/defence/a...
14 May 2026Health & NHSangryOn his watch cancer patients have been left in traumatic ambiguity as they wait weeks for life-saving treatment. Wes Streeting's ambition has outpaced his ability. His replacement must treat this as the national emergency it is, and the Liberal Democrat plan to rescue the NHS is ready & waiting.
