Right across our local area, SWR is delaying and cancelling more and more services. While I look forward to meeting with SWR's Managing Director to press these issues in person, I have, today, also called for a debate in Parliament to discuss SWR's poor service.

A number of stay at home parents in our area who don't earn £12,500 are concerned they are going to face punishing childcare costs to qualify for the Government's new permanent residency rules. I hope ministers will think again and value caring as much as earning.

My response to the Government's reforms to the special educational needs system 👆️

The Government's attempt to override local councils is as undemocratic as it is destructive. I spoke out in Parliament to criticise this blatant abuse of power and call for councils like Richmond upon Thames to be left alone to run themselves in the most effective way possible.

Parents and carers are concerned that reforms to the special educational needs system could strip their children of important rights. Change is desperately needed, but we must avoid trapping families in an endless doom-loop of disputes.

I am proud that @libdems.org.uk introduced premium funding to ensure disadvantaged children - wherever they live - get more support at school. Ministers are proposing to "rebalance" funding and need to come clean as to who will lose out, and guarantee cash will always follow the child.

This Government can move quickly when it wants to, yet parents, carers and children were initially told they would have to wait 3 years, and now are being left to wait up to 21 months, for action on online safety. That delay is unacceptable.

The Home Secretary can make promises about community policing, but without proper investment, our area will see little difference. We're losing our police front counter, with Parks Police and School Liaison Officers already cut. It's time for more than just words, we need action.

Good to see my campaign to sell unused public sites for community benefit and affordable homes being picked up on the Labour backbenches. I hope the Minister will take note of the new cross-party support and be bold enough to tackle the crisis in housing across London!

Thames Water recycled sewage proposals at Teddington and bathing water designation are simply incompatible. It's time for Government to stop the TDRA and focus on cleaning up our river!

I’m relieved that Kristi Noem was fired, but that’s just not enough—she must also be prosecuted. Markwayne Mullin’s comments about Alex Pretti and Renee Good were disgraceful. Someone who speaks that way is completely unfit to lead DHS, and I strongly oppose his appointment. #NHPolitics
