Today I've written to the Prime Minister and Health Secretary about the funding crisis facing hospices and palliative care. Hospices do incredible work, but they are being squeezed and it is patients and families who pay the price.

Grateful to the team at Mountbatten Hampshire based in my constituency for taking the time to meet with me and talk through the current challenges facing hospices and palliative care.

After campaigning and raising the issue in Parliament I’m delighted the Government has finally listened and will scrap time restrictions for disabled bus pass holders next April. This incredibly unfair and discriminatory policy should never have been introduced.

Ann Droid is a joy to watch and both Sue Johnston and Diane Morgan are superb. It also has a really important message about carers. Really recommend.

Great to be at Feastleigh (and just met Amanda from the Repair Shop - AKA one of the Teddy Ladies!)

Jo Cox’s maiden speech gave me the courage to stand for Parliament. As she said, we are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us. A pleasure to join Kim ahead of the Great Get Together.

A pleasure to visit GE Aerospace this morning and hear more about this fantastic local employer, their support for local students and their ambitions for the future.

📣 SEND 📣: I have written to the Secretary of State once again with my constituents’ concerns. I know that many parents are feeling let down by the Government’s White Paper and I will continue to do everything I can to ask Ministers to listen to the voices of lived experience.

Sincerely hope he means it. All Labour have done on social care since they came to power is kick the can down the road.

Today I asked the Home Secretary what action she is taking to get knives off our streets.

I raised the issue of potential jet fuel shortages on the 20th March. The response from the Minister on 17th April implied there was nothing to worry about. And yet here we are.

Gorgeous evening for canvassing, warm reception on the doors and the message is clear - only the @libdems.org.uk can beat Reform in Eastleigh 🔶

Today I asked the SoS if he agrees that, so long as the price of wholesale electricity is directly linked to volatile gas, we will be at the mercy of despots and dictators, and that decoupling is essential if people in my constituency and across the UK are to have energy security. His response ⬇️

Last night I voted AGAINST the Government’s Courts & Tribunals Bill because it would erode the right to trial by jury. These proposals would severely reduce the number of trials involving juries while doing nothing to tackle the Crown Court backlog, which could negatively impact vulnerable victims.

For too long, tech companies have treated children as data to be mined, rather than young people to be protected. We cannot let social media bosses off the hook for the way they have normalised harm, prioritised profit and ignored warning signs.

Liz Jarvis MP @lizjarvis.bsky.social · 24/02/2026
Today I will be voting to protect children from harmful social media. @libdems.org.uk message to social media giants is clear: if your platform spreads harmful content or relies on addictive algorithms, it is not safe for children. Tag your own MP and ask them to back our plan.

2026 marks the 90th anniversary of the Spitfire's first flight from Southampton airfield, and after a constituent contacted me to say the Spitfire statue was looking worse for wear, I reached out to Southampton Airport who have given it a much-needed clean! ✈️

My office will be closed from tomorrow (the 23rd) until the 2nd January to give my team a well-earned break. If you need help during that time you can find emergency contacts and useful numbers at this link www.lizjarvis.uk/useful-links

It was lovely to be able to show Mr Speaker the winning design from my annual Christmas card competition in Parliament. He was very impressed by the colourful drawing by a pupil from a local primary school.🎄

In last night’s debate on digital ID I urged the Government to scrap this ill-judged plan and turn their attention to the reforms that will genuinely improve lives. Mandatory digital ID will not fix our public services, get our economy going again or address the real challenges facing the country.

It’s #SmallBusinessSaturday! Our high streets are the beating hearts of our communities. Shop local and support fantastic small businesses this Christmas!🎄

We are so lucky to have amazing pubs in Eastleigh including the Fox and Hounds Fair Oak. Ahead of Small Business Saturday I was delighted to pop in for a drink and meet with Landlady Julie and her wonderful team.

At PMQs today I raised the impact that the Budget will have on hospitality businesses in Eastleigh and asked the Prime Minister if he would look again at an emergency cut on VAT for the sector.

Liz Jarvis MP @lizjarvis.bsky.social · 28/11/2025
I spent the day talking to local businesses in my constituency about their reaction to the budget. They feel let down by the Government.

This Remembrance Sunday, we remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We pay tribute to them and all the veterans and serving personnel who continue to protect our freedom.

At the debate on supporting our high streets I urged the Government to take action to revive our high streets, restore pride in our towns and put small businesses at the centre of Britain’s economic recovery. Reform didn’t even bother to show up to the debate.

Ahead of Remembrance Day it was an honour to plant a poppy in the Speaker’s Constituency Garden at Westminster for all those from Eastleigh who served and who continue to serve. Lest we forget.

On Tuesday evening I was honoured to hold a debate on Support for Disabled Veterans in the House of Commons. Our disabled veterans deserve our gratitude and respect. They should not have to fight for support and care.

Today I presented my Young Carers (Educational and Employment Support) Bill in Parliament which would: • Require schools to maintain a record of pupils with caring responsibilities. • Ensure there is a Young Carers Lead in every school. 1/2

I’ve signed this letter calling on Keir Starmer to rethink his plans for mandatory digital ID. A mandatory digital ID system risks deepening digital exclusion. It would disproportionately affect older people, disabled people, and those living in poverty.

I have written to Local Government Minister Alison McGovern along with my Hampshire @libdems.org.uk MP colleagues @dannychambers.bsky.social and @alexkbrewer.bsky.social to express our concerns about Hampshire County Council's plan for local government reorganisation.

I’ve signed this @libdems.org.uk letter calling on the Government to scrap the two child benefit cap. My colleagues and I have been pushing for this in Parliament at every opportunity. It’s time to scrap the cap and lift thousands of children out of poverty.

A few constituents have contacted me about the decision to remove the CCTV Cameras in Eastleigh town centre. I’m in contact with the local police and council and hopeful that a solution can be found. Meanwhile I’m continuing to call for a new police station for Eastleigh.
