2026: Week 35 - Back to Westminster
Parliament is now in full swing after the recess; it was a fantastic summer which afforded me the opportunity to travel around the constituency holding pop up surgeries.
Liberal Democrats see the best in things. We celebrate diversity - and non-conformity and if something isn't working we try to fix it or we fight for reform. We are committed to representing local people and making sure your voices are heard.

Well, what a summer it has been! The past six weeks have been busier than I could have imagined, especially as Parliament was in recess.
It’s been another week of high temperatures and a fifth heatwave, as well as a hosepipe ban and wildfires in Devon, which is all deeply worrying.
It’s been a week of high temperatures, with the UK Health Security Agency issuing another amber heat alert which covers almost the entire country.
I have had an extremely busy week with Summer Safari dates, visits and events, and a few meetings thrown in for good measure!
With Parliament in recess, I’m enjoying more time in the constituency, reminding myself why I am so proud to call this area my home.
It’s been all change in Government last week, with a new Prime Minister and cabinet.
This week the Government announced their decisions around Local Government Reorganisation.
It’s been a turbulent week for some in Parliament, notably Nigel Farage, who last Tuesday announced he would be resigning as MP for Clacton-on-Sea, before swiftly announcing he would stand in the ensuing by-election.
