📍 SUMMER POP-UP SURGERIES📍 Parliament is now in recess, which means I’ll be spending more time out in St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire meeting residents and listening to your views. This summer I’ll be holding a series of informal pop-up surgeries at venues across the constituency.

The dust is now beginning to settle on a very busy election period. Across the country, we Liberal Democrats are on a record winning streak as voters reject the politics of hatred and division in favour of positive change and genuine community action.

Yesterday's antisemitic attack in Golders Green was deeply disturbing, and my thoughts are with the victims, their families and to the entire Jewish community.

On Monday, the Prime Minister stood in the House of Commons for nearly two and a half hours, and said on at least 12 occasions that appointing Peter Mandelson as US Ambassador was an “error of judgment”. Not once in those two hours, however, did he tell us what his error of judgment actually was.

I was appalled to see figures revealed today that show shoplifting in Cambridgeshire has nearly tripled in five years and yet only one in four cases results in a charge.

At every opportunity, I am continuing to push the Government for fair and full compensation for everyone impacted by the Infected Blood Scandal.

‼️PIP Review – Have Your Say The Govt's review into Personal Independence Payment (PIP) has announced it is now taking evidence from the public. I urge anyone affected by PIP – people claiming, their friends, family & carers, as well as organisations representing them - to contribute their views.

To mark #YoungCarersActionDay yesterday, I met with a really impressive group of young people to listen to how they are campaigning for proper support in schools for young carers, and the need for more funding so they don’t miss out on education because of their responsibilities at home.

Last week I had a fascinating visit to @nyobolt.bsky.social, an Impington-based company, which builds super-fast charging, high power, and long cycle-life lithium-ion batteries. It's a shining example of the world-class innovation that defines the Cambridge ecosystem.

I am concerned to see the escalation of conflict in the Middle East, and that the UK has allowed the US to use its bases for strikes on Iran. No matter how the Prime Minister tries to redefine offensive as defensive, this is a mistake.

I know many parents have been anxiously awaiting today’s announcement of the Government’s proposals to reform the SEND system, and nearly every week I hear from families across St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire who are having to fight exhausting battles to get the right support for their children.

Today after many months delay, the Government finally published its National Cancer Plan. We welcome its publication - especially as it is World Cancer Day - but so much more needs to be done to support cancer patients now and in the future, as well as boost research and prevention screening.

So we have yet another U-turn from the Government, which has finally seen sense and scrapped its doomed plans to introduce mandatory Digital ID cards. This is something the @libdems.org.uk and I have long been calling for.

We have heard hints from the Government that it plans to reduce the business rates for pubs. But now is the time to cut rates for all high street businesses – something I and the @libdems.org.uk have long been calling for.

Existing communities within the Oxford Cambridge Growth Corridor must be able to actively participate in and benefit from housing growth, rather than simply absorbing its pressures. That's the point that I stressed in a debate on the Government's 'Ox-Cam Growth Corridor' ambitions last week.
