This week I spoke about the ill-thought-through proposals in Chalgrove. Developers unfairly return again and again to push for approval of their plans, as seen in the recent decision to allow 160 homes on appeal, as reported by the Oxford Mail.

Today, I introduced the Water Industry Act 1991 (Amendment) (Payment of Fines) Bill. This Bill would prevent water companies, like Thames Water, from negotiating away fines. The...

It can’t go on. Water companies are being let off the hook by Ofwat. My request to the PM to ban water companies from negotiating away their fines for polluting our rivers 👇

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.
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.
At the Second Reading of the Health Bill, I highlighted concerns over ICB commissioning, safeguarding confidentiality in a single patient record, and the absence of reform of JCVI and the National Screening Committee. I will hold the Government to account as the Bill proceeds through Parliament.
Yesterday with Liz Twist I joined Jayne Hepburn to hand in a petition at 10 Downing Street for Jason’s Law. Jayne speaks movingly about losing her son to suicide. We’re calling for better, joined-up support for families bereaved by suicide.
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.
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.
Today, I met with the Minister for Housing and Planning to demand that Homes England stop all work on their proposed development of Chalgrove Airfield. The Minister refused to halt the plans but committed to providing an update on progress, which I will share as soon as possible.
In Parliament, I raised how rural pharmacies in Benson and across Henley & Thames are being penalised. Under Pharmacy First, thresholds have risen from 5 to 30 consultations — leaving many effectively delivering the service unpaid. I asked what will be done to fix it.
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.
I have secured a meeting with the Minister to discuss funding issues facing RAF Benson Community Primary School. I saw first-hand the excellent education provided to 'behind the wire' families. A considerable amount of care is shown to pupils so they feel supported when parents are away serving.
Rubio: "Cuba is not going to be able to wait us out or buy time. As I said in the context of Iran, the president's preference is always a negotiated agreement that's peaceful. With Cuba, the likelihood of that happening is not high."

When a chatter asks Matt Taibbi why he thinks the Epstein story is "boring", he's immediately interrupted by his crazy co-host Walter Kirn ranting about COVID "concentration camps". Matt does not come back to this question for the rest of the episode.

This is a cover-up that goes all the way to the top of government. Soon, Pam Bondi will have to explain why half of the Epstein files have yet to be released and why she continues to delay justice for survivors.
Q: Was fraud found or lower standards used to verify the Forever Canada petition than others? A: No. Elections Alberta’s verification process is robust and standardized, applied to all petitions unless there are indications of fraud found. Any suggestions to the contrary are disinformation.
Yesterday marked the start of the spring term, Hilary term, in Oxford. Yiming Cheng, a 2025 Scholar from China, reflects upon her first term as a #RhodesScholar, finding work-life balance, finding community and finding a home in Oxford. We wish all of our Scholars in Residence a great term ahead!
When we all said that MAGA/Republicans would vote for Satan before a Democrat... We didn't expect them to prove it...AGAIN!
