Freddie van Mierlo MP 🔶

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.

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.
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.
Two weeks is not enough. When raising a child, couples face many challenges, and the current paternity leave offer only adds to their burden. Paternity leave should be increased to at least six weeks at 90% of earnings, with self-employed parents also eligible.
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.
I asked the Minister to increase funding for active travel, given the significantly larger sums invested in major infrastructure projects such as HS2. The Thame to Haddenham Greenway would provide a safe walking and wheeling route that campaigners have been asking for over the last 25 years.
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.
I questioned the Minister about the suitability of the Pharmacy First scheme for rural areas. In Benson, pharmacists are struggling to meet the threshold for consultations. The Minister committed to raising my concerns with his department to ensure that Pharmacy First can be delivered effectively.
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.
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.

No tricks. No shortcuts. Just how it works. If you consistently use more energy than you take in… your weight goes down over time. If you don’t… it won’t. That’s why random “good days” don’t do much. It’s the consistent habits that move the needle. 👉 Not perfect 👉 Not extreme 👉 Just consistent

I'm gonna be live tomorrow for the LATE shift of the @fruitiesteam.bsky.social Masquerade raid train. Gonna start stream around 3-3:30 am ET and hang out, maybe provide a chill atmosphere while I hang out and play Borderlands or Destiny 2 (kinda depends on my vibe).
