5 Jun 2026Crime & Policingmeasured30 years on, Melanie Hall’s murder remains unsolved. Avon & Somerset Police have launched a new appeal, urging anyone who knows or remembers anything about the night of her disappearance to come forward. Even the smallest detail could help solve this case. Please contact the police with any info.
5 Jun 2026Crime & PolicingangryHenry Nowak’s murder was a horrific tragedy. His family have made clear it must not be used to sow division. The Trump Administration’s comments are shameful, showing no respect to his family. Their interference in our country is not welcome.
4 Jun 2026Energy & Net ZeromeasuredFrom urging the Government to fix our broken relationship with Europe, to discussing how we can ensure green energy is cheap and accessible to everyone – this past week I've been standing up for the issues that matter to you. Here's a snapshot of what else I've been up to.📸👇
4 Jun 2026EnvironmentangryThe Trump administration's cuts to research funding, the rollback of environmental protections & their dismantling of US climate policy should worry us all. The climate crisis is the biggest challenge we as a planet face. If we turn our backs now, future generations will pay the price.
4 Jun 2026Crime & PolicingangryIn 2019, I fought hard to make upskirting a specific criminal offence. Making this disturbing and predatory act illegal was a vital first step, but unfortunately we've seen cases continue to rise. We must ensure perpetrators feel the full force of the law to finally put an end to this behaviour.
4 Jun 2026Health & NHSangryThe rise of antisemitism in our NHS is disturbing. Jewish staff should never face discrimination, and Jewish patients must always feel safe seeking care. We need to tackle this head on by rooting out antisemitism, Islamophobia and all forms of racism in our health service.
3 Jun 2026Health & NHSmeasuredThis documentary lays bare a crisis that has been ignored for too long. Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women, yet there's no dedicated care pathway & very little research into treatments. Even the then-Health Secretary struggled to explain why. Those suffering from this condition deserve better.
3 Jun 2026Crime & PolicingangryThe murder of Henry Nowak was horrific and the police's unacceptable response made this unbearable tragedy even worse. The independent investigation must uncover how things went so badly wrong, and every force must act on its findings so nothing like this ever happens again.
3 Jun 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryThis summer BRLSI launches 'Democracy Under Threat' - a new series of talks & events. I’m delighted to be joining philosophers, historians & political experts to explore some of the biggest questions facing politics today. Want to be part of the discussion? Book your ticket here👇
2 Jun 2026MP & ParliamentangryThese files expose a shocking lack of accountability & transparency in government. After years of Conservative scandals, the public deserved better from Labour. We must ensure those in power are held accountable. That is why we @libdems.org.uk would enshrine the Ministerial Code into law.
2 Jun 2026EnvironmentmeasuredReform and the Conservatives want you to think it’s a choice: economic growth or Net Zero.🌱 It's not. The UK’s green economy already generates over £100 billion a year and supports 1.1 million jobs. Net Zero isn’t holding our economy back - it’s one of our biggest growth opportunities.
2 Jun 2026Energy & Net ZeromeasuredAs we aim to create a greener energy system, we must ensure it's affordable & accessible for everyone, not just those who can invest in new technologies. It was great to hear from E.ON & The Purpose Coalition in Parliament on how they're making sustainable, clean energy work for everyone.⚡
1 Jun 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryToday marks the start of Pride Month.🏳️‍🌈 This month, while we celebrate the hard-won progress made towards LGBTQ+ equality, we must also recommit to tackling discrimination - including finally introducing a trans-inclusive conversion therapy ban to put an end to this abhorrent practice.
1 Jun 2026EnvironmentangryLabour promised to ban trophy hunting imports - yet since 2024, they've issued 28 permits to allow the bodies of hunted endangered animals to be brought back to the UK as souvenirs. This is a shameful betrayal. Enough empty promises; the Government must take action to end this cruel practice.
29 May 2026Defence & SecurityangryThe Government’s Defence Investment Plan is still missing, months after it was promised. With Kremlin aggression growing & an increasingly unreliable ally in the White House, this delay isn’t just indefensible - it’s dangerous. Ministers must stop hiding & publish the plan now.
29 May 2026EnvironmentmeasuredGreen infrastructure - from gardens and parks to green corridors - must be included in planning from the very start, not treated as an afterthought. I chaired a discussion with MPs, industry leaders & HTA representatives on the barriers preventing green development & how we can overcome them.
29 May 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryFrom visiting St Michael’s Junior School to see how the Orchestra of Everything Foundation are making music accessible, to urging the Government to protect flexible work – this past week I've been standing up for the issues that matter to you. Here's a snapshot of what else I've been up to.👇📸
28 May 2026Jobs & EmploymentangryWe @libdems.org.uk warned that Labour’s National Insurance Hike would kill off the jobs that give young people their first shot at work. Now we’re seeing it happen. They must scrap their unfair jobs tax & boost skills training & apprenticeships to give young people the opportunities they deserve.
28 May 2026Energy & Net ZerocelebratoryUsing hydrogen to power our planes is a huge opportunity to decarbonise a polluting industry.✈️ The UK is home to some of the most innovative companies, like ZeroAvia, who are working to make this possible. The Government must back this ambition & help make the UK a global leader in clean hydrogen.
28 May 2026Culture & CommunityangryAnimals killed for their fur endure needless suffering. Although the UK banned fur farming 20+ years ago, it still imports millions of pounds of animal fur every year. I’ve signed a letter urging the Government to fully commit to ending this cruel trade by banning all fur sales & imports.
27 May 2026Crime & Policingangry📸 Women being covertly filmed in public then posted online for profit or engagement is vile & unacceptable. This abuse is often rooted in & perpetuated by misogynistic attitudes. Making misogyny a hate crime would send a clear message & give police stronger powers to protect women & girls.👇
27 May 2026Health & NHSmeasuredOn #EmergencyMedicineDay, we recognise A&E teams across the UK working hard to deliver life-saving care, despite huge NHS pressures. In 2025, almost 1 in 7 NHS staff were physically attacked at work. Healthcare workers deserve dignity & respect - today we renew our commitment to their safety.
26 May 2026OtherangryReform & the British far-right are making abortion a new front in the culture wars, threatening to reverse decriminalisation & spreading disinformation. We cannot allow women’s hard-won reproductive rights to be rolled back. Read @opendemocracy.net & @fullerproject.org’s shocking investigation👇
26 May 2026Crime & PolicingempatheticThis was a horrendous crime. Rape is a profoundly traumatic experience, and the victims have shown real courage and bravery in coming forward. The system must support them and ensure their voices are heard. The Attorney General should conduct the review swiftly and decisively.
26 May 2026Economy & Jobs (General)celebratoryReally enjoyed joining the Bath Festivals thought-provoking event 'Europe: Where Do We Go From Here?' last weekend. I firmly believe that building closer ties with Europe will support our businesses, strengthen our economy & restore cultural opportunities that our young people especially have lost.
22 May 2026Local GovernmentmeasuredA thoughtful discussion with B&NES CEO Sophie Broadfield today on the opportunities & challenges ahead for Bath. We looked at what’s best for Bath amid potential legislation changes around how local government works & how its regional devolved powers can most effectively be used.
22 May 2026EducationcelebratoryWhat a treat to be at St Michael’s Junior School in Twerton again today, getting involved in their “Music Friday”. This brilliant programme delivered by the Orchestra of Everything Foundation sees every child learn at least one instrument – and over 80% learn two!
22 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredReform and the Greens can make big promises to voters, but they’ve not yet been tested in delivering them. Now that Reform is running councils, we’re seeing the reality: chaos, broken promises & disappointment. Unlike them, we @libdems.org.uk have a proven record of delivering for communities.
22 May 2026Technology & DigitalangrySocial media giants have dodged responsibility while their algorithms spread harmful content to children. They’ve repeatedly prioritised clicks over safety. Our @libdems.org.uk plan for film-style social media age ratings would force platforms to protect users - or face tougher restrictions.
21 May 2026Crime & PolicingmeasuredReports of misogyny & sexual misconduct in tattoo studios are unacceptable. No one with a prior sexual assault conviction should work in spaces where clients are vulnerable & often alone with artists for hours. I support mandatory background checks on artists to keep people safe.
