Good to meet with a South Herts Headteacher and a Chair of Governors this morning to discuss the principles that the Liberal Democrats are championing when it comes to SEND reform Really proud of the role I’ve played over the past four years in improving Lib Dem education policy

Thanks to all of our members who helped Laura McCracken 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦🔸's campaign in Bromley Common & Holwood this weekend. We had teams out on Saturday and Sunday. Thanks to colleagues from Lewisham Lib Dems who joined us. Polling day is on Thursday 24th July bromley.gov.uk/ByElection

Congratulations to Jeremy Purvis on being elected Leader of our brilliant Lib Dem team in the House of Lords. Jeremy has a proud record standing up for our values, including enshrining our 0.7% aid commitment in law, and I look forward to working with him in his new role.

Fantastic support for Janet Grauberg and the Camden Lib Dem team in West Hampstead tonight! Thanks to everybody who came.

"First Past the Post has encouraged a focus on ‘Mondeo man’ – the idea that there’s a small number of constituencies needed to be won. That’s a reductive mentality. Politics has to be about everyone, everywhere." Well put, Andy Burnham 💯 bylinetimes.com/2025/07/19/and…

Delighted that Hinckley & Bosworth have been commended for their work to tackle fuel poverty locally. This includes Warm Welcome scheme that has over 40 venues across borough & warmer homes scheme that installed external wall insulation to over 100 council homes across Borough

Delighted to been appointed as Vice President of the Local Government Association. I will be using my 16 years experience as a councillor in #Woking to champion local government - looking forward to working with everyone at Local Government Association (LGA)!

And home

I can’t help but feel emotional watching the Lionesses. I grew up with, and studied, football violence and women’s fear of crime as part of my Social Policy degree (decades ago). The drive, passion and sheer carnival atmosphere at every match, all ages, is a complete joy.

A Lib Dem FOI has found that from June 2015 to June 2025, Labour have written off over £2,130,000 in bad debt for rent owed to the City Council from its commercial rental portfolio - that's £584 each day over 10 years. liverlibdems.org.uk/news/article/l…

For anyone in West Hampstead who follows me here - note major road closures this weekend and early next week!

Something completely different - a trip to Windsor Castle this week to receive an OBE for "services to the community in North London and to education." It's been a privilege to volunteer in NW6 and as a school governor for many years, but the recognition is nice too!

We're thrilled to announce that we have been shortlisted for a FansForDiversity award 🏆 Congratulations to all the other nominees, including fellow Regional Alliance members Proud Forest & Rainbow Owls 👏 We're looking forward to seeing everyone in September. #Spireites #FSA
