In case you missed it on the news - here I am speaking about my recent meeting with Travelodge RE safety concerns in their hotels.
Earlier this week the Thame–Haddenham Greenway campaign reached 10 Downing Street. With Cllr Kate Gregory, Mayor Andy Gilbert, Greg Smith MP & campaigners, we presented a petition signed by 3,630 residents. We’ll keep pushing for a safe A418 alternative for walking, cycling & wheeling
I spoke with senior leadership at Travelodge headquarters in Thame to discuss the safety of guests and employees. They have promised root and branch change, and I will continue to engage with them to ensure they fulfil these commitments.
I had the chance to speak with representatives about UK space investment and its legacy since leaving the EU, which has increased the need for domestic capability and reliance on the US. The space industry is essential in providing services, from weather forecasting to navigation, for UK residents.
I asked Dr Rebecca Foljambe from Health Professionals for Safer Screens about the physical health impacts of children spending significant time on social media. Short-sightedness, obesity, and poor speech and language are a few of the negative effects, there must be education to support families.
Today, Vikki Slade MP raised Dr Jasmine Kelland’s research on fathering in prison with the Secretary of State for Justice. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Kelland earlier this year to discuss her work and the importance of her policy recommendations for rehabilitation.
I have secured a meeting with the Minister to discuss my amendment on better overseas voting provision. Let's make sure citizens abroad are not left behind.
Social media algorithms are pushing content to young girls that encourages eating disorders, I asked the Minister for Health what work they are doing with DSIT to tackle this problem.
I am continuing to push for better access to medicines where there are currently shortages. Medicines that support those with ADHD and menopause are life-changing, and it is unacceptable for constituents to be left without the care they need.
I had the chance to speak with representatives from CERN about the work they do. CERN is a European Organization for Nuclear Research, and although the UK was a founding member, funding allocated for research projects has been uncertain. I asked what this uncertainty means for future projects.

Maria En España se está dando un golpe de Estado incruento desde el 2023 para derribar al Gobierno. Jueces, medios y aparatos de poder actuando coordinadamente mientras PP y Vox esperan llegar al poder para tapar su corrupción y controlar TVE. Quién no lo vea a estas alturas está ciego
A war is raging in Europe, and Trump has said basically we won’t defend them. So they have to think about their own defense without the US, all while the US began military action without consulting them and is now demanding they send their already stretched defenses to Iran.
No more “wait and see.” No more “let’s be polite.” ICE is escalating. Trump is enabling. We are not waiting for permission to fight back. This weekend — we show up. We stand up. We shut it down. #ICEOutForGood social.demcast.com/s/gEzZJde6

Stephen A Smith sexually harassed Chiney Ogwumike on air, and when Coach Jackie made a video about it, Shaq (yes, Shaquille O’Neal) wrote a rude and condescending comment on Jackie’s video. As a sexual harassment researcher who studied French and grew up watching Shaq, I had to weigh in.
Top military officials kept Trump out of the situation room during the rescue of downed soldiers bc of his erratic behavior. This is more proof that he isn’t fit to be president and is a threat to national security. This needs to be top news.

In Cuba, OCHA's Crisis Response Division Director, Edem Wosornu, visited a community project in Havana where community kitchens are a lifeline for many elderly facing rising prices, limited pensions and economic hardship. Continued support is essential to help the most vulnerable.
I’m in this fight for the people of Arizona. I’ll keep standing up to the Saudi’s, standing against these illegal tariffs and price increases, and standing up to the giant corporate landlords colluding to raise our rents. Because you deserve an Attorney General on your side.
Climate skeptics will often reference Al Gore’s statement in 2009 about an ice free Arctic. Gore was closer than most people realize. #climatechange #climateaction #factcheck #science #STEM

Things got pretty sentimental telling my son he’s going to be a big brother. But there are practical concerns too. Lotta logistics. Double the car seats. Double the daycare. And a preternaturally verbal witness to silence if we ever want to successfully convince the new one he’s adopted.
Trump on his return from Arlington National Cemetery spent 6 whole minutes scrutinizing a column under the North Portico. Is it another dementia moment or is he planning another of his “projects”?

At full Council I asked about the average cost of a pedestrian crossing, previously I've received answers from the Cabinet Member on a crossing not going in on Bridge Road prior to any larger transport plans, due to potential risk in altering it. I wanted to get a clear picture of that risk cost.
