Teachers! Apply to the UK Parliament's three-day Teacher Ambassador Programme by 1st November. It's a great opportunity to spend time in Westminster and explore new ways of teaching young people about the UK Parliament and democracy. learning.parliament.uk/en/session-w...

It has never been more important to work closely with our European allies. At conference, I met with Leena Linnus, the Head of @europarl.europa.eu Liaison Office, and Jukka Salovaara, the new EU Ambassador to the UK @euinuk.bsky.social, to discuss issues where international cooperation is vital.

Our politics is not scandal-laden, short-termist or populist. I spoke to BBC Radio 4 about how the Liberal Democrat's are determined to tackle the big issues this country faces.

It is no surprise to anyone that we want to push this Government harder on Europe. I spoke to Sky News at the Liberal Democrat Party Conference in Brighton about how this Government should rebuild defence and trade ties with Europe.

It was a pleasure attending the Brain Cancer Justice drop-in event in Parliament alongside Charlie Maynard MP. I heard about the invaluable work they are doing to advocate for greater attention, research and funding into brain cancer. Thank you to those that shared their moving stories with me.

The Botley Road has re-opened, but that is three and a half years of people's lives that you can't ever get back.

It is disappointing that the Government have broken their pledge to seek legal advice towards recognising a genocide of Uyghur Muslims in China. I urge the Government to honour this commitment and waste no time in raising concerns over human rights abuses. www.politicshome.com/news/article...

The evil in this case was quite breathtaking. We need a sea change in NHS culture, especially when we're talking about our most vulnerable children and babies. I spoke to BBC Breakfast about the Lucy Letby Public Inquiry findings. 📺️

If summer is the new winter for the NHS what does this mean for staff fatigue - where is the NHS Workforce Plan?

The work of the Health and Social Care Select Committee influenced the government's Health Bill. Our amendment on ensuring local authority partner members remain in ICBs has been accepted. I raised the issue of Palantir and the need for a definition of "ready" for when HSSIB merges with the CQC.

I want palliative care to improve, therefore I will be voting for the Assisted Dying Bill today.

The state needs to rewire itself so that it works around people. The answer is more complex than simply cutting the Welfare Bill.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Children's mental health is a Cinderella service and deserves parity of esteem. The Health and Social Care Select Committee has been looking at why child death by suicide rates are increasing.

I shed a tear when the government said that the occupation is illegal. I welcome the Foreign Secretary's commitment to banning all illegal settlements. Today I asked him how the government intends to work cross-party, so that we can all play our part to ensure the future of a Palestinian State.

I visited the John Radcliffe Hospital. They have been doing their best since the recommendations of the Baroness Amos review in June 2026. However, it is clear that there is only so much they can do without a new Maternity Unit. I am taking this to Parliament, watch this space.

If you believe in a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine Conflict, if you believe in a Palestinian State, then it is time to act now. I urge you to write to your MP and ask them to write to the government to ban all trade with illegal settlements.

The Health Committee has heard how in too many cases of child suicide the different parts of the system were not talking to each other properly. The Deputy Prime Minister agreed to meet with me to discuss how we can stop these stories from happening.

Crisis is being built into the children's mental health system. Too many people are crying out for help and being turned away. I spoke to 5 Live about why so many young people are ending up in A&E and why suicide rates have been growing. 📻

The summer tour is one of the highlights of my year. At surgeries in Marcham, Shippon, Kennington, Radley, Sunningwell, Wootton and Cumnor I joined local councillors and heard from residents about everything from adult social care to fraud (and of course, potholes!).

Growing 'dental deserts' are a very urgent problem. Teeth are crumbling, children are in A&E and people are in terrible pain. We're not short of dentists in this country, but we need root and branch reform of the dental contract and proper incentives for dentists to take on NHS work.

The illegal E1 settlement scheme will critically endanger the two state solution and peace in the Middle East. The Government must take strong action in response, including a ban on all trade with illegal settlements. See the letter from me and other Lib Dem MPs to the Foreign Sec👇

I wrote to the Govt urging more support for colleges and further education, and I'm very glad they have chosen Abingdon and Witney College to receive capital funding from the £191 million Post-16 Capacity Fund. More students should now benefit from their fantastic courses and apprenticeships.

Trust in the security of your medical data should be sacrosanct. Pager use was meant to stop in 2021, but the latest data breach shows that the basic nuts and bolts of technology in the NHS are still being forgotten. I have written to NHSE for an audit of who is using this outdated, insecure tech.

Good luck to everyone in Oxford West and Abingdon getting A Level, T-Level and BTec results! As a former teacher, I know how much today can weigh on you. But a set of grades is not a verdict on who you are or what you can do. Whatever your results, I hope you are proud of the work behind them.

The Health and Social Care Select Committee released a report into the cost of inaction on social care last year. Last week, in light of Andy Burnham's announcement, I spoke to Matt Chorley on 5 Live about the social, moral and economic cost of doing nothing to fix this issue. buff.ly/LLyycP7

I was pleased to hear in Andy Burnham's announcement that Baroness Casey's review would be brought forward, this is something which the Health and Social Care Select Committee have asked for.

The social care system is currently a horrible lottery where 1 in 7 of us will pay more than £100,000 on the cost of our adult social care. It is grotesque how we let families down when they are most vulnerable. (1/2)

Andy Burnham has been talking about Social Care a lot. We've had 22 reviews since 1997; it's time for action. In a recent committee session on Social Care, I pressed Baroness Casey and then Minister Stephen Kinnock to report earlier.

Layla Moran MP 🔶🕊️ @laylamoran.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
Andy Burnham is right to say that reform of social care is going to take more than a couple of years to solve. You can however lay the foundations for reform and achieve cross party consensus ahead of the next General Election. (1/2)

Layla Moran MP 🔶🕊️ @laylamoran.bsky.social · 27/07/2026
The Prime Minister is completely right to say that we will only solve the problem of social care with cross party consensus. Ed Davey and the Liberal Democrats advocated for this at the last election. (1/2)

Layla Moran MP 🔶🕊️ @laylamoran.bsky.social · 27/07/2026
At the start of this Parliament, the Health and Social Care Select Committee published a report detailing the cost of inaction on social care. Whilst reform of the social care system will take some reallocation of resource, doing nothing costs more. (1/2)

Layla Moran MP 🔶🕊️ @laylamoran.bsky.social · 27/07/2026
There is a moral imperative to reform Adult Social Care. There are over 4 million unpaid carers in this country who provide care equivalent to a second NHS. I am pleased to see that Andy Burnham is willing to spend political capital to fix this issue, but it will be difficult. (1/2)

The weeks-long delay announced today to the Botley Road reopening is calamitous and catastrophic. Local residents and businesses have repeatedly seen goalposts move and promises broken over the course of this shambolic project. I've written to the Transport Secretary to request an urgent meeting.

One of the recommendations of the food environment report is Healthy Start Card's which support families on lower incomes to make healthier choices. We are calling on the Government to ensure that these can be used universally across supermarkets and that the amounts rise with food inflation.

We are pleased that the Government has acknowledged the importance of tackling obesity in the ten year health plan but we are still missing the detail. Our report makes clear that living with obesity or being overweight is not a failure of the individual but rather a product of the food environment

Last night (3rd July) between 10.50-11.30 my electric cargo bike was stolen. Black Pakyak E+ with a baby carrier. First time I’d taken it to town 🥹 . I parked it on the Plain roundabout near the Cape of Good Hope pub. Secured it with a Diamond grade lock. If you saw anything please let me know.

If building of the E1 settlement goes ahead, then the prospect of a Palestinian state disappears. We have a small window to affect what happens before the upcoming Israeli elections.
