Absolutely brilliant to visit Peter Symonds College last week. We had questions on mental health policy, the types of jobs in an MP's office and what motivated me to go into politics. Thank you for having me!

When I first became an MP, half a million children were on waiting lists for mental health support. That figure is now one million. At the same time, mental health charities are struggling due to rising costs. You can find my letter with Tim Farron below on the closure of PAPYRUS:

We need to elect politicians who follow the science. Here are my thoughts following the recent screening of the National Climate Emergency Briefing.

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

It was absolutely brilliant to organise a screening of @nebriefing.bsky.social with local climate action groups at Winchester Science Centre. The message is clear: the more we delay in taking action on the climate crisis, the greater the cost. We need politicians who believe in science.

Over the summer, lots of people spoke to me about their concerns about speed limits. Local communities are monitoring speeds and consistently raising concerns, with the fear that a serious accident will happen before they are taken seriously. Find my interview with BBC Radio Solent here:

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

We need an economy that works for everyone. Part of this has to come from fixing the social care crisis so that everyone can live in dignity and security later in life. Find me talking about this on BBC South recently here:

An absolute joy to visit Twyford School today, just in time for assembly. We debated and voted on whether students should go to school on Fridays, spoke about the House of Commons and the House of Lords and life in Parliament. Thank you for your brilliant questions!

Farmers have compared accessing this portal like trying to get Oasis tickets. Let's be frank: food security is national security and when a government repeatedly undermines farmers, the cost falls on each of us. Find the letter from the Liberal Democrats below:

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Infection is the second leading cause of death among people with cancer, after the cancer itself. So why does the Government's National Cancer Plan only mention it once, in the foreword? You can find my letter to the Minister here:

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

No one with a full-time job should have to turn to a food bank. In-work poverty is all too common and that has to change.

063

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Yesterday, funds for the Government's Sustainable Farming Incentive ran out in just 6 hours. Farmers are being left saddled with debt with no support from the Government. If you are a constituent and have been affected by this, I want to hear from you.

032

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

National security, food security and energy security are all linked. If we are serious about building resilience during a time of such turbulent geopolitics and extreme weather, we have to tackle these issues holistically. Find my answer from BBC South here:

The Liberal Democrat conference comes to a close today - and what a weekend it has been! Every year, it is great to catch up with as many charities as possible.

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Farming communities are facing immense challenges at the moment be it through trade deals, climate change or lack of government support. Jess is doing a half-Ironman to raise money for RABI, an incredible charity that supports farmers. ironman703weymouth.gofundraise.co.uk/page/Jessica...

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Sepsis is the second biggest killer of cancer patients. Yet infection is only mentioned once in the National Cancer Plan. We need more diagnostic tests so we can protect vulnerable patients.

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

We know that people who abuse animals are much more likely to harm others. For 25 years, the Links Group have been raising awareness of this. If we are serious about protecting victims of domestic abuse, we have to pick up on these early identifiers.

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

The student loan system is broken. With the system as it is, by 2031, the student loan repayment threshold would effectively align with the minimum wage. That is not sustainable - nor is it fair. Very proud to sponsor this important Bill from my colleague, Tom Gordon MP.

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Water companies have gotten away with hiking bills, dumping sewage and paying their shareholders for too long. Let's call it what it is: ecological vandalism. It is completely unacceptable that our chalk streams and wildlife are being put at risk.

092

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

It's been a particularly tough year for British Farming, with a record wet winter, a drought and a disease outbreak. My colleague @alisonebennett.bsky.social and I joined the NFU event in parliament to discuss farming, agriculture and food security.

093

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Chalk streams are incredibly beautful and vital ecosystems for local wildlife like Atlantic Salmon. They need proper protections if we are to ensure that they remain for future generations. Find the letter from the new Chalk Streams All Party Parliamentary Group in the comments:

Frontline workers see unimaginable scenes day-in, day-out. They ought to have our full support with their mental health. I met with the Minister for Policing and Crime to share a brilliant app that supports police officers who are struggling with their mental health due to their work.

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. I know from losing my own friends and colleagues how suicide can affect each and every one of us. If you are in need of support, speak to loved ones or reach out to a charity like the Samaritans on 116 123.

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Hospital wards across the country reached unbearable and dangerous temperatures over the summer. As part of a much bigger backlog of repairs for Winchester Hospital, we need to ensure that aircon and temperature regulation is in place to manage infection and keep patients and stafe safe.

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

The ongoing violence in the West Bank is horrifying. From attacks on locals to the stealing of livestock. All this violence threatens a two state solution. While the government bans trade with illegal settlements, I warned that we must keep sanctions on far-right Israeli ministers under review.

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

On my Summer Tour, one of the topics that came up frequently was speed limits in our villages. When local communities continue to raise the alarm about dangerous speeds, the Council must listen. Find my question on this in Parliament here:

141

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

We have to treat mental health with the same seriousness we treat physical health. And that starts with funding. While mental health services receive such meagre funding, vulnerable people and children will be left on waiting lists. We need fairer funding to get this right.

21810

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Back in Parliament for a late night of voting on the Health Bill. I will be talking about the maternity care crisis, the need for fairer funding for mental health support and the abolition of NHS England.

030

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Science provides us with cures and treatments. Politics decides if they are used or not. Childhood vaccination rates are falling and we risk returning to an age where children are put at risk from entirely preventable diseases. We need responsible politicians who trust in science.

🧵 During the bluetongue outbreak, vets have rightly been allowed to use vaccines imported from countries such as France, Germany and Poland. (1/3)

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I'm hopeful #Burnham will continue to work with @eddavey.libdems.org.uk to fix the social care crisis. But that challenge will be made so much harder if we don't get the economy growing again by rebuilding our relationship with Europe. I joined @news.sky.com today to review the new PM's first PMQs.

0114

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Andy Burnham will need to do more than tinker around the edges to fix the economy. Restoring our trade relationship with Europe is an essential first step.

0162

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Straight back to it on the first day back in Parliament. We need politicians who follow science if we are serious about protecting our nation's food security, energy security and national security. After heatwaves, drought and wildfires, we must take action to tackle climate change.

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Big thanks to everyone who came along to one of my Summer Tour 2026 events. It was lovely to meet so many people and have a chance to discuss issues ranging from the NHS, the environment, cost of living, speeding, poor mobile phone signals and bus cuts.

I concluded my Summer Tour 2026 with visits right across Winchester and the Meon Valley...

...where I spoke to residents about investing in our NHS, improving transport, and protecting our environment.

I visited local Winchester small businesses to hear about how they’re supporting the community...

Recorded Bluetongue cases stood at 599 yesterday. They are rising daily and we are still awaiting clear news from the Government on what support is going to be offered to farmers. Find my letter here:

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

AI Chatbots are offering children dangerous and misleading advice. Keir Starmer's government promised an announcement in July. That never happened. With a new Secretary of State, we need to make sure that action is forthcoming to keep children safe online. #stopthebots

It's National Dog Day, so here is Moose actually making himself useful for a change.

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Climate change poses an existential threat to British farming. That is what I wrote in October 2025. Since then, we have had droughts, the hottest July on record and the spread of bluetongue virus to new parts of the UK. We cannot bury our heads in the sand - we need urgent action.

1147

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Imagine seeing droughts, wildfires and new diseases and thinking that we should abandon climate targets. The Conservatives are now banning candidates from standing in elections if they believe in taking action to protect the environment. We need politicians who follow science.

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Big thanks to everyone in Droxford, Bishop's Waltham, Durley and Upham who came along to speak to me this week. We discussed ideas for how to improve healthcare, tackle antisocial behaviour and support the cost of living for young people.

This week, my Summer Tour took me through Soberton, Swanmore and Waltham Chase. We discussed issues like the increased risk of fires due to the drought, access to broadband and mobile signals, and local mental health support.

What is Bluetongue virus and why is it linked to climate change? As temperatures rise, more climes become hospitable to the midges that spread Bluetongue, meaning it is now in the UK. The best way to combat this is to vaccinate and I am calling on the government to do all they can to source these.

1127

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

After months of Liberal Democrat calls to drop the time limits on concessionary travel, I am delighted to see that the Government has taken action. This is brilliant news for all passholders who need to travel before 9:30am and I will continue to push for improved bus services for all in need.

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Another day on the Summer Tour, this time in Droxford, Bishop's Waltham, Durley and Upham. I look forward to meeting lots of you out and about - and for some rain, hopefully!

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Brilliant to visit Emma at The Well Worn studio today. Wellworn is a brilliant local business where all pieces are crafted in Winchester using sustainable and reworked materials. It was fascinating to see Emma's work and to hear more about the challenges and opportunities for local businesses.

Due to continued high temperatures, I am rescheduling today's Summer Tour stops. Stay safe in this heat!

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

What is Bluetongue and how how can we control it? Here is my explainer ⬇️ It is a virus spread by midges, it arrived in the UK due to climate change, it is a notifiable disease because it is devastating the livestock industry, the best way to protect against it is vaccination.

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Unfortunately, due to a forecast heatwave I will be rescheduling tomorrow's Summer Tour stops. I will be sharing new dates and times as soon as they are confirmed. Please do keep safe in the warm weather! www.nhs.uk/live-well/se...

Danny Chambers MP 🔶 @dannychambers.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

More stops on my Summer Tour, this time in Martyr Worthy, Bishop's Sutton and New Alresford. Many thanks to all who stopped to say hello and have a chat.
