Roz Savage MP

I spoke on shady party funding in parliament yesterday. For too long uncapped donations have allowed for a huge amount of influence to be exercised on our democracy from outside of our political system. It’s time for that to change. #pmqs #parliament #westminster #politics #partyfunding

Do I want us to be back in the customs union and eventually the EU… yes. #EU #politics #bbc #debate #libdem

I spoke about the changing state of our high streets on Politics West this weekend. The community and local identity they offer us, especially in a constituency as rural as ours, has to be protected and promoted. #politics #bbc #politicswest #debate #highstreet

With Rachel Reeves announcing free bus travel for children 5-15, and a Guardian article this week highlighting how people without cars can struggle to make basic trips for food in the constituency, I know how hard it can be to get where you want.

An update from me as my time in Westminster comes to an end for the week. #mp #westminster #politics #libdem #southcotswolds

If you had the opportunity to put one thing into British law - an opportunity that any MP can get through the selection of Private Members Bills that are happening tomorrow - what would you choose? Comment below! #laws #parliament #mp #pmb #westminster

As Witsun recess approaches, I have had some time to reflect on why I became an MP in the first place. Everyday is an honour in this job. Reminding myself why I’m here helps keep things really simple - to make a difference. #mp #parliament #politics #localpolitics #election

The renationalisation of railways has been one of the key policies in this Government’s manifesto. Clearly, the system that we have had in the recent past has failed passengers. #itv #debate #railways #travel #mp

Here were my main thoughts on the King’s Speech, which I voiced in the ITV debate last week. Environmental collapse is not a problem you can ignore. Having an approach backed by solid policy is the only way to protect our future. #kingsspeech #environment #mp #itv #debate

It has been clear for a long time that the privatisation of water companies has failed this country. We all deserve better. A system built for us, not CEOs and shareholders. #water #mp #ITV #debate #fyp

Here is what I had to say on the recent local election results while on last nights ITV West Country Debate. The full show is now on ITV X and YouTube.

My immediate thoughts after a disappointing King’s Speech. #westminster #mp #parliament #government

Here’s a little insight into today’s King’s speech! #westminster #parliament #government #kingcharles

🏡 Housing targets matter, but in rural communities like ours, it’s not just about hitting numbers. It’s about building the right homes, in the right places, in a way that protects the character, infrastructure, and sustainability of our villages for generations to come.

My weekly newsletter has always been a great way for me to go into a bit more detail on the things I have been up to and what to expect of me moving forward so it’s important to me that its as good as it can be! If you haven’t already, sign up to it here: www.rozsavage.uk/weekly-newsl...

This week I visited RAF Fairford to see for myself what is happening on the ground.

There is understandable concern around RAF Fairford being used for US defensive operations. The safety of residents in Fairford, Kempsford, Lechlade, and the surrounding areas is a priority to me, and I will keep doing all I can to represent you on this issue in Parliament.

Yesterday I asked the Justice Secretary what he’s doing to tackle court backlogs. ⚖️ Constituents are right to be worried, victims are being denied justice and delays are growing. I’ll keep pushing the Govt to fix this and ensure our courts deliver for everyone.

Yesterday I had the privilege of leading a Westminster Hall debate on the petition to retain the legal right to assessment and support in education for children with SEND ✍️ #SEND #SouthCotswolds

🌿 The Thames Path starts here in South Cotswolds — a beautiful walking route & vital wildlife corridor. I pressed the Nature Minister on funding for biodiversity 🌱 and resilience against flooding 🌧️. She agreed to take my suggestion back to DEFRA. 💚 #SouthCotswolds #Nature #Thames

Yesterday MPs debated the Bus Services Bill. I tabled an amendment to ensure those with SEND & their reps have a voice in bus franchising. It wasn’t voted on, but I’ll keep campaigning for SEND & rural transport and holding govt to account. #BusServicesBill #SEND #RuralTransport

Fighting for community strength in Parliament this week 💪🌱 I sponsored the Museum of Broken Dreams exhibition, highlighting community projects blocked by a broken system. With the English Devolution Bill, we can shift power to people + strengthen protections for our environment. #CommunityPower

As I learned rowing solo across oceans, survival depends on protecting your vessel & resources. Ukraine is no different. Sovereignty isn’t just borders - it’s fertile soils, minerals, energy. No agreement about Ukraine should be made without Ukraine at the table. 🇺🇦

Fossil fuel ads are greenwashing the truth and the climate crisis won’t wait. In Parliament, I urged the Govt to ban misleading ads and give the Climate & Nature Bill the time it deserves. Take action: action.zerohour.uk #ClimateAndNatureBill #BanFossilAds

I spoke in Parliament yesterday on the new Buses Bill, highlighting how vital reliable, affordable public transport is for our communities. From helping young people get to college to reducing rural isolation and cutting emissions, local bus services are a lifeline. 🚌

A morning of testing water quality in Cricklade with @earthwatcheurope.bsky.social Recent figures for South Cotswolds: 🚨 49 storm overflows 🌧️ 3,085 spills ⏳ 40,415 hours spilled Poor ecological status confirmed. We must keep monitoring and water companies must do their bit too #ProtectOurRivers

1/ Yesterday in Parliament, I contributed to a debate led by @carolinevoadenmp on leasehold & estate management reform. Here’s what I was able to say to Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook ⬇️ #LeaseholdReform #HousingManagement #Parliament

Yesterday, in the House of Commons, I asked the Secretary of State for Defence about the UK’s allyship with the EU on defence. Here’s his response ⬇️

My thoughts just before leading an important debate on a petition that calls for compensation for women affected by state pension changes…

Happy International Women’s Day! 💜 Since becoming MP for the South Cotswolds, I’ve met so many incredible women whose resilience and dedication inspire me. And a special thanks to the brilliant women in my team - your hard work makes such a difference! #IWD2025 #InternationalWomensDay
