What do my @libdems.org.uk colleagues do to improve their mental health?

Mental Health funding for NHS services is being cut. Again. It is time to start treating mental health with the same seriousness that we treat physical health. That is why @libdems.org.uk are calling for the Mental Health Investment Standard. Find my explainer here:

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

We don't have time for all this Starmer Drama when bills are soaring and conflicts are raging around the world. We should be focussed on our food, energy and national security.

Who do you think should be leading the discussion on the regulation of AI chatbots - Parliament or the Pope? #StoptheBots

Be it maternity services, the difficulty of receiving an endometriosis diagnosis or gynaecology waiting lists, women are being let down. The Women's Health Strategy includes a commitment to ending the medication postcode lottery for hyperemesis gravadarium, a very severe type of morning sickness.

There's a proven link between people deliberately harming animals and going on to commit domestic abuse. Currently the law does not allow us to identify these people early. I brought this up in parliament and introduced a motion asking the government to address this gap in the legislation.

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:

Off-roading in our chalk streams destroys our natural environment and kills wildlife. The Conservative-run Hampshire County Council must listen and take decisive action. I secured a meeting with the Minister to discuss ways to ensure this ecological vandalism is stopped for good.

Juries are a fundamental part of our justice system. Taking a sledgehammer to them will not address the court backlog. Investment in the crumbling buildings or doubling sitting days will ensure that these waiting lists come down so that all victims get their day in court.

John Oliver: Just last week, administration officials triumphantly announced indictments as part of their ongoing crackdown on health care fraud. But [...] some of those fraud cases seem strikingly similar to those for which Trump has granted clemency, when people have had connections to him.

after everything I read today regarding the new god of war... If a female lead gets ur balls this twisted ur genuinely pathetic and I wont even waste my time to feel sorry for you being this sad. Women exist, they are real and they are awesome. Your Mother is a woman too, dont forget that, fool. 😠💢

Today I raised the Ebola outbreak in the DRC and Uganda. Years of cuts to UK aid mean we’re responding to global health crises with one hand tied behind our backs. I’ve asked the Government to update the House on its compliance with the International Development Act 2015.

Ukraine: Russian fascists struck an ambulance in liberated Kherson with an FPV drone. This is not an "accident," just like the Russian drone strike on the apartment building that injured 2 civilians in Romania was not an "accident." Russians commit war crimes daily.

MacFarlane: 60 minutes is still going to be on. Jen. After the greatest television program ratings deliverer of all—the NFL. It'll still be Patrick Mahomes and 60 minutes. It'll still be Josh Allen and 60 minutes, which means people are going to, if nothing else, stumble upon the new show.
