So pleased to join 50:50 Parliament's Get Britain Growing Reception last night. There are now more women in Parliament than there have ever been before and it was wonderful to see so many new faces ready to make our country a fairer, more equal place.

Good to speak to SWR Help's team today about the recent renovations to Barnes Bridge Station and the removal of the bike ramp. I'm pleased to hear work is already being done to find a replacement ramp which will ensure cyclists can once again access the station.

Having an amazing time at the North Kingston Dragon Boat Race. Thousands being raised for local charities and everyone enjoying the party atmosphere. There’s even a team of Oompa Loompas racing for Fern Hill Primary!

The Richmond branch of the District Line has failed repeatedly over the past few weeks leaving many residents and visitors stranded. Last week, Gareth Roberts and I wrote to Sadiq Khan asking him for his assistance getting the line back in working order.

When the general election was called, the decision on whether to approve Thames Water 💧’s Teddington DRA was sitting on the previous Environment Secretary’s desk. I and Sarah Olney have written to new Environment Secretary Steve Reed MP to discuss our concerns with him.

While reforms in Whitehall are welcome, Labour need to focus on growing our economy from the bottom up. In my response to the King's Speech yesterday, I urged the Government to focus on supporting local communities and small businesses to put us back on the right track.

Great to visit Department for Culture, Media and Sport and speak to Chris Bryant about the need to protect creators from data mining by AI developers. Musicians, writers, artists, and other creatives should have control over how and when their work is used.

Andrea is one of tens of thousands of carers hit by unfair repayment demands from the DWP, for going just a few pounds over an arbitrary earnings limit. Today I asked the Prime Minister to meet with me and other family carers to discuss how to resolve this scandal.

Over the next five years, the Liberal Democrats will be pushing Labour to get our country back on track. It's not enough for Keir Starmer to be better than the Conservatives, he needs to deliver real change for local communities across the country.

Great to see the designs for the new Kingfisher Leisure Centre today. Their team are on track to break ground in the spring of next year and the work can’t begin soon enough.

Good to speak to ITV News about the Chancellor's upcoming announcements. The Conservatives wrecked the economy, but now we need to see Labour create a new plan to bring NHS waiting lists down and get our country growing.

The Conservatives left our economy on life support. That's why the Liberal Democrats are urging the Government to invest in healthcare, in GPs, dentists and hospitals to kickstart the economy after years of chaos.

Very pleased to meet with Network Rail and TfL earlier today. The Richmond branch of the District line has been a constant issue for residents and visitors recently and I’ve urged their teams to do everything they can to improve service.

Under the last Conservative Government, Thames Water was allowed to get away with dumping filthy sewage into our rivers. It is therefore welcome that they are finally being held to account. We must now see a ban on bonuses and an end to huge profits for offending water companies

It is heartwarming to see so many people of all backgrounds and all walks of life standing peacefully together in solidarity against racism, Islamophobia and violence. We are indebted to our brave police officers who put themselves in harm’s way to keep our communities safe.

“Years of Conservative Party economic vandalism” have led us here, says Sarah Olney. She calls on the new government “to properly invest in the organisation” to “break this cycle of decline”
