After Boris Johnson, many of us expected boring competence from Keir Starmer - no more scandals, no more sleaze. Yet here we are - spending days on the terrible judgement to appoint Mandelson, rather than focussing on tackling the cost of living and helping our struggling healthcare services.

Happy World Book Day!📚 Today also marks the beginning of Winchester Book Festival. To celebrate, here are some of my favourite books:

Fed up of potholes? We are too. After 29 years of Conservatives running Hampshire County Council, it is time for a change.

Women and babies are being let down. Over half of maternity units in England do not reach 'good standards' for safety, causing avoidable harm and even deaths. The @libdems.org.uk have a plan to back our #NHS staff and keep new mums and babies safe.

The giant tech and social media companies need to be regulated and held account for the effect they're having on young people's mental health.

AI is changing the job market as we know it. I hear far too often from constituents who are desperate to get on the job ladder, yet do not even hear back when they apply. I asked the Secretary of State to address the impact AI is having on graduate employment.

This is outrageous in modern Britain. Far too many women are having to fight for years to be listened to when they have endometriosis. No one should have to go through that. We must do all we can to ensure that women receive appropriate support and treatment for endometriosis.

Poor mental health could affect anyone. That's why community groups like Winchester Youth Counselling are so important. We teamed up to raise thousands of pounds for their invaluable work recently. Find more here:

"Nobody wins unless everybody wins." If a disease with pandemic potential emerges anywhere, it quickly becomes everyone's problem. If crops fail in one part of the world, the consequences are felt globally.

Scrolling is the new smoking. I hear it from parents, teachers, and from children themselves. Big tech companies have created addictive algorithms that monetises attention. We did not expect parents to take on the smoking industry alone, so we cannot abandon them on social media safety either.

Cockroaches tend to scurry away ..... Florida Governor Ron DeSantis quickly ran when the media asked his opinion on Trump's new weaponization fund/slush fund totaling $1.776 billion in taxpayer money.

lrp context

Americans have paid over $28 billion more for gas since Trump began his war in Iran. And that’s not even counting the price hikes on everything that needs to be trucked to stores across America.

TALK TO THE PEOPLE MAKING THE PLAN. Even if you are aware and highly involved with the work of the Universal Health Plan Governance Board, the process is long, involved, and confusing. Oregon is on track to be the first state to transition to a universal healthcare system, and the time is now.

Guest: I think a lot of people are done with Trump. And I think Trump's seeing it, and he's feeling it, especially from his base. It's Epstein. It's the terribly unpopular situation with ICE. And now it's the Iran war. He wants to change the narrative by getting rid of Pam Bondi

We need to come together as a country to tone down the political rhetoric. President Trump is only interested in fanning the flames of division. He always puts his short-term political interests above the country’s well-being.
