The highlights from a very busy last 2 weeks as your MP:

For Deaf Awareness Week this week, I wanted to highlight an amazing session the Women and Equalities select committee had with senior representatives from the BSL Advisory Board and the British Deaf Association.

Yesterday I spoke in the Health Bill debate to raise serious concerns about the proposed abolition of Healthwatch.

💧 An update on water, one of my top priorities in Westminster and something residents across North East Hampshire raise with me constantly. I've seen the sewage gushing into our rivers with my own eyes. Fish dying. Waterways polluted. Communities let down. 😤

🎄Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas 🎄 My office is closed for a few days, while my team and I take time with our families. But we're monitoring the inbox for emergencies

🎉 Campaign Win! 💧 Protection for chalk stream rivers has been a key campaign and I've called for this many times. So I'm pleased the Government is introducing this.

🏦 It was a real pleasure to open the new Nationwide branch on Fleet high street, which will soon be the only physical bank left in the constituency. 💷 Although banking is increasingly done online, a physical teller can often still be a huge help.

Today in Parliament was the International Women’s Day debate. To be surrounded by so many brilliant women, in a room so rich with history, was a powerful reminder of how far we have come. It wasn’t long ago that women couldn’t stand for Parliament or even vote. But we still have a long way to go.

A constituent who has prostate cancer is crocheting these Moustaches in his chemotherapy sessions to raise awareness men's health issues. Movember has taken off as an awareness and fundraising campaign. It takes real strength to talk about personal issues like cancer and mental health.

EU Economy Commissioner Dombrovskis: EU doesn't believe this is time to ease pressure on Russia, as Secretary Bessent has done with second extension already. In fact, Russia is the one gaining from Iran war and increase in fuel prices. We need to strengthen pressure on Russia.

He will not be alone this time

If this country can find trillions for tax breaks for the rich and wars of choice, it can find the resources to guarantee paid leave for every worker in America.    Virginia led. Now Congress must act. Let's pass the FAMILY Act.

"My Melancholy Blues" is the closing track of Queen’s 1977 album, News of the World. While the album is famous for the stadium-shaking anthems "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions," this track serves as a stark, sophisticated contrast—a "hangover" song to end the party.

On March 8, Donald Trump’s Energy Secretary said gas would drop below $3 “within weeks.” Now? Americans won't see pre-war gas prices FOR YEARS. MAGA: you good with this?

The President of the United States decided to take the country into war. House and Senate Republicans? They voted against the War Powers resolutions - and gave him the green light to do so on his own. One man decides. Who pays for it?
