Diana Morita Cole was born in the Minidoka concentration camp, Idaho. Although the closure of the camps began in December 1944, Diana’s family still lived in Minidoka until October 1945. When she was just a year and a half old, her family left for Chicago, Illinois.

Whipps Cross Hospital hosted the Crampsta period pain simulator! The contrast was wild: men were shocked by the extreme pain, while women normalized it during long shifts. We have to make men aware of what women experience monthly and make it ok to have sick leaves when needed.

No one ever says 'I fired them too soon.' Hard decisions don't get easier with time. They get heavier. In 2026, speed of decision is the differentiator. You probably already know what needs to happen next. I know I do.
This moment is bigger than party. It’s about whether we're working to improve people’s lives. Where things are working, let's continue them. But where they're not, let's be bold enough to redefine our politics and just solve problems.

It was great to join BBC Radio Oxford yesterday to take calls from listeners. I am so pleased to see progress on Lodge Hill after many years of campaigning on this issue by local residents and Oxfordshire Lib Dems. The works will greatly improve congestion around Abingdon.

“There is no price tag in the economy as tall as gas prices, and that you pass as often.” Visibility matters. Economics isn't just about prices; it's about attention. Gas prices shape how people feel about the economy because they're impossible to ignore.
