Cross party working MPs from different parties often work best together, as we each bring something different to the table. For me, that perspective comes from years working in the charity sector, and it's something I draw on regularly in my work on the Women and Equalities Select Committee.

Great to meet so many brilliant charities at Conference earlier this week. Before becoming an MP, I worked in the charity sector, running a charity supporting children and young people with Down syndrome, and a women’s refuge.

Fixing Family Courts Before becoming an MP, I worked for a domestic abuse charity and spent countless hours in family courts supporting women and children fleeing violence. I saw first-hand how children were sometimes required to spend time with a parent who had been abusive in their home.

Great to be back at the Liberal Democrat conference this year. I had a busy first day catching up with local party members and colleagues and hearing some great speeches on how the party is working to fight for the issues you all care about.

Listening to you This week I've been busy with casework, emails, and in-person surgeries, giving me the chance to hear directly from you and help tackle the issues you face. With hundreds of you contacting me each week, I'm grateful for the opportunity to make a difference where it matters most.

Get this petition to number 10 🚑We have had so many signatures for our petition, but we need a few more. Once we have enough, I'll be taking it straight to No.10 to put further pressure on the Prime Minister to move Basingstoke Hospital up the waiting list.

Positive male role models Last Thursday, I spoke for the Liberal Democrats in the Westminster Hall debate on positive male role models. Boys need men in their lives they can look up to: fathers, grandfathers, teachers, coaches, youth workers.

Today, Parliament sat again for the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Private Member's Bill. The Bill remains unchanged from last year and I again voted in favour. This is a decision that is of the highest significance and I feel very much the weight of responsibility of this vote.

North East Hampshire Fire Services Crews from across Hart, Rushmoor and Basingstoke and Deane have tackled fire after fire in extreme heat, protecting the heathland and woodland that makes our constituency so special. Our natural environment is irreplaceable and right now, dangerously vulnerable.

Proud to celebrate local businesses in Parliament. 💼Our hairdressers, garages, care homes, pubs, garden centres and beauty salons are the backbone of our community. They create jobs, support local families and keep our high streets thriving, and they deserve a Government that backs them.

Babies Bill 👶 It was my work in the charity sector that ignited a political spark and motivated me to stand for Parliament. I saw first hand the impact that underinvestment in public services has on children and families when they need it most.

Let's be clear on planning. 🏠The previous Conservative Government failed to build homes, invest in infrastructure and plan sustainably for the future. Locally, the Conservatives failed to bring in a local plan in either Hart or Basingstoke councils.

There's so much I do as your MP that just doesn't fit into a social media post, that's why I write a newsletter, to give you a fuller picture. I want to keep things open and honest, so you never have to wonder what your MP is up to.

Rural pubs are struggling; many tell me it's worse than the Covid years. Burnham's 20% cut in business rates for pubs in England is a welcome first step, but it's not enough. The broken business rates system needs a complete overhaul.

Andy Burnham, we need urgent changes to planning. 💧 70,000 residents in Basingstoke and Deane could see their water supply put at risk, after South East Water's failed to deliver a pipeline that would help secure our water supply and reduce the need to take water from local chalk aquifers.
