Happy New Year! Wishing everyone across Oxford West & Abingdon a happy and prosperous 2026! Here's a little look at what I got up to in 2025...

🧵 It is unacceptable that Jewish people now feel less safe in Britain. In Oxford, our interfaith community stand in solidarity with each other against all forms of attack against any faith. (1/2)

Making sure that our GP services are revving on all cylinders is key to making sure that patients get the access to NHS services that they need. We are at a crucial moment in securing a new site in Summertown. I raised with Wes Streeting the role of the District Valuer in this process today.

Are we all destined to end up in a wheelchair? Abingdon Green Gym volunteers and Sir Muir Grey helped me launch the latest Health and Social Care Committee Report which says definitely not!

I'm so pleased that the two-child benefit cap has been scrapped, something the Lib Dems have long campaigned for. However, the Chancellor missed a huge opportunity to reverse the £90bn a year cost of the Tories botched Brexit deal and announce a new UK-EU Customs Union.

🧵 I don't like that we are now in the era of the 'strong man.' I'm proud of this country and how we were part of the countries which came together to establish the League of Nations and then the United Nations after the Second World War. (1/2)

Yesterday I met with the Minister for Water, following on from my PMQ where I challenged the PM on the future of Thames Water. She made me aware of panels held by the Consumer Council for Water which will listen to the views of customers. I will update constituents as I hear more about them.

In yesterday's Budget debate, I raised the issue of mental health services. I am alarmed by reports that the Government may water down the investment standard for mental health. This investment has proven to be vital in creating a parity between physical and mental health.

Around 300,000 women have been affected as a result of being administered DES to prevent miscarriages. It was right that the Health Secretary apologised for this, but more must be done. I am pleased that he will meet with me and campaigners to discuss the issue further.

🧵 The latest round of resident doctors strikes announced yesterday are again coming at the wrong time. It is stark how many of our constituents want to see the NHS improve and this is yet again another stumbling block. (1/2)

This graduation season, schools across the U.S. have continued their attempts to silence pro-Palestine speech. Rutgers professor Noura Erakat says repression of Palestine protest only spreads outwards. "We are the Trojan horse to bring in these policies that will affect everyone."

Will this 'examination' ever be complete?🤔 We need full BDS. Our bill to sanction Israel will be voted on in the Dáil this Wednesday evening. We need to fully cut genocidal Israel off economically, just like was done with apartheid South Africa. #VoteToSanctionIsrael

Both Trump and Iran need a deal. Even short of war, the ceasefire is putting too much pressure on the US economy and the GOP's political prospects. And Iran needs to translate the outcome of the war into much-needed sanctions relief. Both will lose if a deal is missed.

Video from last night shows Palestinian fishermen coming under fire from Israeli attacks. Israel first banned the practice of fishing during the height of the genocide, however, fishermen still face the risk of attack at all times.

Yesterday, the tracks fell silent at Utrecht Centraal. Twenty rebels who refused to look away from Gaza held the rails. On July 4 the ring road stops again. Each action answered with arrests. Each arrest answered with more bodies. The movement does not shrink. It grows. Join it.

Card's not getting any redder

“You’re more likely to lose your job to someone who is using AI, than to AI itself...” Rishi Sunak speaks to @faisalislam.bsky.social about how AI could impact jobs, with the former PM saying the “best protection” is to have a “competence and confidence using these new tools.” #Newsnight

Just to close the thread, FB put the nail in the coffin with some more of the cross screen set, including a rip screen variant (Rupert missed). Meesseman got a good look off the usual and hit a few straight middies to put the game out of reach (OLY head coach Froso Drakaki was not happy).

In Gaza, MSF treats many patients with severe facial burns—85 per cent of 88 are children. They need 3D-printed pressure masks to prevent lifelong disfigurement. Since 3 December 2025, we have not able to bring in new supplies and only two functioning scanners remain in the entire Strip.
