Housing is the top issue in my inbox as #Woking’s MP - including problems with property management companies. Pleased the Government have now U-turned and will soon regulate them.

Thank you @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social. Pleased the Government has U-turned on regulating property management agents after the Housing, Communities and Local Government Select Committee recommended regulation. Hope the improved Leasehold Reform Bill will be introduced straight after recess.

Out knocking on doors in #Woking to hear first hand from constituents. Listening to opinions and experiences are crucial to understanding how I can best support our community - if I haven't already, I hope to see you soon! If you need my support ⬇️ will.forster.mp@parliament.uk

A #Woking resident lives in fear after the Probation Service released her former partner and warned her that he had made threats against both her and her child - and that she needs rehousing for her safety. The Government must boost probation staffing to prevent cases like this.

#Woking has almost 180 families in temporary accommodation, with 20 of them being housed outside of the borough. People housed in temporary accommodation should be able to stay in their communities, and I'm pushing to ensure that councils can do this.

The @libdems.org.uk’ Autumn Conference ended with a bang - with our plan cut your taxes by increasing the personal allowance to £15,000. Over 4 days, I spoke on range of issues including fixing family courts, human rights, housing and vulnerable children.

Rail passengers in #Woking are suffering ever-higher fares for a declining service, with increasing delays and cancellations that are making journeys a nightmare. I want to hear your experience of SWR services, so I can push for improvements. digitallibdems.typeform.com/to/dE09xnTW?...

Raising the tax-free personal allowance. Trusting people to spend their own money, not telling them the state knows best. Real money, £680 a year, back in people’s pockets.

Liberal Democrats took more than 3 million people out of paying income tax with the personal allowance. 

So we will raise the tax-free personal allowance to £15,000. Taking 2 million more people out of paying tax altogether, and giving most taxpayers a £680 tax cut.

In my latest fortnightly column for the #Woking News and Mail, I’ve written about campaigning in Parliament after the summer recess - raising everything from sports to sports cars.

From sports to sports cars, it's good to be back
I hope you have all had a fantastic summer. Parliament has returned from summer recess and I’m pleased to finally be back in Westminster after a busy but enjoyable break.

I'm deeply concerned that #RNLI lifeboats were recently turned away from two ports, Portsmouth and Southampton. I've demanded that the Government explains why harbourmasters were allowed to turn away lifeboats that are there to save lives.

For the first time in its history, the last Commonwealth Games wasn’t broadcast for all to watch. Football fans are having to pay almost £700 to follow their club in this season’s Premier League. I’ve called on the Government to ensure there is more, not less, free-to-air sport.

Britain isn’t broken. It’s being held back. Held back by a system that protects failure and rewards the easy way out, instead of delivering the bold change our country needs. It’s time to set Britain free.

The idea that water companies could be permitted to raise prices during periods of drought is disgraceful. I have written to the Secretary of State to express my anger at what is effectively "surge pricing." Water is not a luxury good. The Government must stop these proposals.

Free local bus travel is a vital lifeline for many disabled people. After an almost two-year campaign the Government has finally listened to Liberal Democrat calls to stop restrictions to disabled bus passes. Disabilities don’t start at 9.30am. Neither should disabled bus passes.
BBC News headline announces 24-hour free bus travel for disabled people in England; a crowd of cheering Liberal Democrat supporters hold bus-shaped placards and party signs celebrating the policy.

As it’s parliamentary recess, I’ve got a summer job at the Domino’s branch in #Woking!

Was fun to make a pizza and chat to the staff. Sadly, Labour’s NICs hike has had such a negative impact on their business.
  P.S: I'm glad pizza making is in the hands of professionals...

This is a stark warning: the climate emergency is here, yet the Government moves at a snail’s pace. It's time for a national strategy: funding cool hubs for vulnerable groups, mandating cooling and ventilation in new homes, supporting drought-affected farmers and heat-proofing NHS facilities.
