Completely unacceptable that the incredibly brave and dedicated RNLI volunteers are being treated in this way. They are the best of us and truly represent the country I know and love.

Reports of a Russian warship firing warning shots in the English Channel are deeply concerning. Russia is quite literally on our doorstep. Intimidation in our waters must not be tolerated. A reminder that we cannot afford any more delays to the Defence Investment Plan www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

After months of delay, the Government's online safety plans don't go far enough. Children deserve better than this rushed hodgepodge of social media restrictions, which don't keep them safe, nor hold tech companies feet to the fire. @victoria-collins.bsky.social

Ed Davey and I have written to the Minister for Women & Equalities, asking her to withdraw the EHRC Code of Practice. The Government have repeatedly assured trans people that they have protection from discrimination, yet this guidance does the opposite, breaking decades of precedent.

The new EHRC Code of Practice is not fit for purpose. It does not provide clear guidance or do enough to protect everyone from discrimination, and it is not compatible with longstanding British values. @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk and @MarieCGoldman.bsky.social have written to Bridget Phillipson. ⬇️

The Government has finally published the revised draft Code of Practice from the Equality and Human Rights Commission. I will be studying it very carefully to understand its practical applications and implications.

Though smaller than last year, the Unite the Kingdom march over the weekend was still sickening. The resurgence of out-and-out racism in the UK, from demands for remigration of British Asians to Antisemitic slurs on placards at both demonstrations, demands we meet this moment.

Horrifying news from North London. My heart goes out to the victims, their loved ones and the whole Jewish community. Hatred like this has no place in Britain. The Government must do more to keep Jewish communities safe and confront antisemitism wherever it appears.

Incredibly proud to represent a party that's putting forward genuine ideas and policies about how to move our country forward. Instead of scrapping with the official opposition, the government should listen to the constructive ideas and opposition from the Liberal Democrats.

Big shoutout to the amazing volunteers at Love Your Chelmsford! Last week, despite the cold, they were out litter picking on Kings Road. It’s thanks to amazing volunteers like this that Chelmsford remains such a special place to live. #LoveYourChelmsford

Shocking scenes coming out of Australia of a shooting at Bondi Beach. While we wait for answers, my thoughts go out to all those affected, especially the Jewish community who were celebrating the start of Hanukkah on the beach at the time. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...

Chelmsford constituents with BN(O) visas are worried about the Govt's plan to raise the English language requirement retroactively and to increase the income requirement. I raised this in a Westminster Hall debate and urged the Government to reconsider. #BNOVisa

In 2023, nearly 108,000 people received HIV care in the UK, showing progress. This World AIDS Day, we’re reminded there’s more to do as around 5,000 people remain undiagnosed. Recently, I met with the APPG on HIV, AIDS and Sexual Health to discuss raising awareness and expanding prevention.

Imagine being turned away from a bathroom, hospital, or cinema for “not looking female enough”. The leaked EHRC guidance could do just that. Along with my Lib Dem colleagues, I’ve written to the Minister calling for new, inclusive, practical guidance that protects everyone’s rights.

I had a lovely time visiting Beaulieu Park School and meeting students and staff. We talked about politics and the role of national and local government in our daily lives. The students asked some brilliant questions, and it was great to see how engaged and curious they were.

Had a great time chatting with #ChelmsfordCollege. We talked about devolution and local government, youth engagement and votes at 16. It’s fantastic to see young people using their voices and making change in their communities.

Yesterday's Budget had a few positives – scrapping the two-child benefit cap and freezing rail fares. But overall, it fell short with no help for Chelmsford’s hospitality, and more people dragged into higher tax brackets. My quick thoughts on yesterday's Budget are in the link in the comments.

Marie Goldman MP @mariecgoldman.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

Another #Budget, another disappointment. People in Chelmsford and beyond face a real cost-of-living crisis, which this Government ignores, leaving people with higher taxes and growing uncertainty.

Marie Goldman MP @mariecgoldman.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

Women wait longer for diagnoses, face unequal health outcomes, and too often have their symptoms dismissed. I spoke with the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Women’s Health about how we can change this. It’s time to act. The Government must listen to women and prioritise urgent reform.

Hospices are under immense pressure, with staff being let go and beds shutting down across the country. I visited Farleigh Hospice to chat about the challenges facing the sector, tour the facilities, and meet some of the lovely team. We’re lucky to have them in #Chelmsford.

Hi Chelmsford 👋🏼 Here are some things I’ve been up to this week.

Marie Goldman MP @mariecgoldman.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

It was great to visit Moto Pizza in Chelmsford today but sad to see thriving local businesses struggling with rising costs. The owner told me a VAT cut would make a real difference for them. That's why the Lib Dems are pushing for a 5% cut to help businesses keep prices fair and staff supported.

050

Marie Goldman MP @mariecgoldman.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

Change happens when someone asks. As Women and Equalities spokesperson and a woman myself, I know how important it is for more women to step into politics. Only 40% of MPs are women, and we need more. I almost didn’t stand until someone asked. Now, I challenge you to ask too. #AskHerToStand

Marie Goldman MP @mariecgoldman.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

I'm aware of local concerns about mini-buses bringing asylum seekers from RAF Wethersfield to Chelmsford. But Essex Police are unable to access the £2m funding given to Braintree Council to support local policing in Chelmsford. I've urged the Home Secretary to provide more funds to Essex Police.

Today I joined my #LibDem colleagues at a rally to call for an emergency VAT cut for hospitality. Going out for a meal, a takeaway, or a family trip shouldn’t be an unaffordable luxury. Lib Dem’s plan will help put money back in people’s pockets while supporting #Chelmsford’s local businesses.

Hi Chelmsford ☀️ Here are a few highlights from this week.

Marie Goldman MP @mariecgoldman.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

Chelmsford families are paying too much for energy. The Liberal Democrats’ plan would slash the average household bill by more than £90 a year, putting money back where it belongs – in your pockets. Affordable energy means warmer homes and stronger local businesses. It’s time for action.

Thrilled to officially open the new Beaulieu Health Centre. A modern facility ready to support Chelmsford residents. 🩺 Huge thanks to everyone who helped bring this project to life. It was a long time coming and a big team effort. An important investment in our local healthcare.
