Organisations like @trinitywinchester.bsky.social and @dogstrust.bsky.social do incredible work to support vulnerable people fleeing domestic abuse day-in, day-out. I urged the House to celebrate their invaluable work to keep people safe and supported.

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

There is rightly a lot of discussion on MPs having second jobs, although some may be surprised about my only veterinary work last year at Marwell Zoo - blood testing penguins. Not the most glamorous, but certainly a challenge!

Local pharmacies are a brilliant resource that keeps pressure off GPs and allows patients to receive help on the high street. I spoke today in a debate to urge the Government to implement a long-term sustainable funding model for pharmacies so that we can keep our pharmacies open.

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.

The intelligence of an animal has no effect on its capacity to feel emotion. Like humans, we know animals experience pain, excitement and suffering. I brought this up in a debate on animal testing this week - and urged the Minister to strengthen our commitment to high animal welfare standards.

Not once, not twice, not three times. Four times the Liberal Democrats have voted to ban harmful social media for under 16s. Parents, teachers and children themselves tell me: we do not need a lengthy, bureaucratic consultation. We need action now.

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.

I've been speaking with parents in Winchester about the impact of AI chatbots. Children are writing less because AI "can do it better.” They’re spending more time indoors. They feel less confident. We must regulate AI before it's placed in the hands of children, not after the damage is done.

The Conservatives' Brexit project left us weaker and poorer. If the government is serious about boosting our economy, they should listen to @libdems.org.uk proposals for a bespoke customs union with the largest trading bloc in the world - which is already right on our doorstep.

Also, I started playing Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions after I got back from my trip. Never played the OG and I’m enjoying it a lot.

I agree 100%! Dem's have to expand the court soon as they get power back! This is the worst court in history in more ways than one! 🌊FREE resistance GIF's chips-gifs.com

When elected, I’ll fight for accessible child care, lowering prescription drug prices, and investing in strong affordable housing. We must address this affordability crisis. #AZ01

The traitor that sold America for cheap. Always a gimmick without an ounce of substance

"Living with Humans" by Kal Fulsom a.co/d/ddaGXP1 Book 02 of the SHIFTERS series. A compelling story of two species, Humans & Elysians. A science fiction tale, weaving together personal relationships, cultural clashes, libertine lifestyles, new technology, and futurism.

Russian industrialist and founder of the Moscow Economic Forum Konstantin Babkin discussing robotics in Russia with political blogger Pavel Ivanov is just hysterical!

I first spoke with Julie Moreno back in October, when she and her husband Neff made the difficult decision for him to self-deport to Mexico after more than twenty years of building a life together in the United States watch: austinkocher.substack.com/p/it-still-f...

“...total callousness, total lack of understanding [of] how people across this country [are] hurting.” Rep. @debbiedingell.house.gov slams President Trump as the disconnect deepens between his priorities and what the American people want from him, especially as they struggle economically.

HMMM I wonder what this could be about

#Israel has killed at least 881 people during the 'ceasefire' in #Gaza & claims it killed dozens more. Today: "The first moments of the bombing of a Jeep on Al-Shuhada Street in western Gaza City" اللحظات الأولى لقصف مركبة جيب في شارع الشهد..اء غرب مدينة غزة www.threads.com/@moein_gaza/...

The women and men of America’s public shipyards are mission-critical for our national security. These patriots have some of the toughest and most important jobs. We should be doing everything we can to retain talent, remove unnecessary barriers, and provide stability—not create new obstacles.

Good night, everyone. 💗💗💗

True, they can be a barrier. I didn’t mean to suggest no one is discouraged, just that you can still have plenty of cycling.

🚨 Seniors were already struggling to pay for necessities, and now oil prices are at a record high thanks to Trump's war. Experts predict they won't get back to where they were until 2032!! We need a Congress that will hold Trump accountable and focus on our needs.

In a tense match, the urge to change everything is real. But before making it permanent, ask: is it forever or just for now? Don't do something permanently stupid because you are temporarily upset. Protect and refresh your gear confidently. Breathe, reset, and change your gear, not your fate. 😉💡

Need a laugh? #liar #Pinocchio

We should not allow people to gamble on war or on human lives. Full stop.

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.
