The 100k tax trap limits re-investment in our economy, and disincentivises people from earning above this threshold. Those with a student loan pay 71% marginal rates. Those with children LOSE money by earning over the threshold. I asked the Chancellor what she is doing to tackle this issue.

During the Liberal Democrats Opposition Day, the House debated Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Titles should not protect individuals from scrutiny. I thank the media outlets for their work in bringing important information about this matter to light.
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
Youth unemployment is soaring. The Chancellor’s jobs tax, combined with the threat of AI, is bearing down on opportunities, and young people are facing increasingly difficult and uncertain times. With no clear action being taken, I asked the government to set out its plans to tackle this issue.
Lowland Rescue Oxfordshire provides essential support to residents, their responsibilities include finding vulnerable people and ensuring their safety. During this debate MPs considered ways that the government can better support and sustain similar organisations.
The current provision of IVF under the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West ICB does not meet NICE guidelines and fails to reflect demographic evidence. I have called the Minister to re-evaluate decisions like this in healthcare, which are currently being made primarily on affordability.
I visited Wheatley residents who have spent the past six years battling to stop raw sewage flooding into their homes during heavy rain. My Bill would stop Thames Water delaying or avoiding fines and ensure water companies face enforceable consequences for environmental breaches.
I was pleased to welcome @hrwallingford.bsky.social to the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee’s Innovation Showcase. HR Wallingford is doing important work on water challenges and the UK must invest in sovereign science to strengthen our position as an attractive hub for innovation.
In the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee, we scrutinised the Government’s preferred candidate for the role of Chair of UK Research and Innovation. I asked Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz how he would ensure taxpayers’ money is used in the most efficient way.
During today’s debate, I asked the Government to set out a clear timeline to review the 10% commission charge applied when selling park homes. Park homes provide affordable housing for many residents, but charges like these can make properties difficult to sell.
The government is not providing enough funding for SEND care. In Oxfordshire, there is a significant lack of specialist places and the funding provided by EHCPs often falls short of what is needed. Steps must be taken to improve SEND funding and reduce the burden on parents to fight for EHCPs.

Joe Ceballos, the former Republican mayor of Coldwater, Kansas, voted for Trump, believed the “only violent criminals” line, then ended up in ICE detention himself after pleading guilty to voting as a noncitizen. And get this shit: He says he does not regret voting for Trump. 1/2

Great news! The govt will finally introduce local content rules for streaming platforms. This is a huge win for Aussie stories, jobs and our screen industry. Proud to have stood alongside actors, creators and so many others who helped push for this outcome. It’s a great day for Australian stories.

Day 495 - Cutting gasoline prices 50% by 19 JAN 2026 ? Just another broken promise. This video shows trump making that promise on 10 October 2024 at the Detroit Economic Club in Detroit Michigan. He also promised to NOT allow cuts to Medicaid/Medicare, and to lower grocery prices on day 1. Nope.

A 3-year moratorium on massive AI data center projects is not “anti-progress.” It’s about giving communities time to understand the long-term impacts before irreversible decisions are made. >
Dems held the line: fund DHS, not ICE abuses. We passed a bipartisan deal through the Senate unanimously. Twice. Then Mike Johnson flip-flopped and blocked it. I went on @cnn.com to lay out the facts:
