Happy Somerset Day! 11th May marks Alfred the Great’s call to arms and the gathering of all the people of Somerset to march against the invading Viking army in 878 AD. I had a wonderful time celebrating all things Somerset with the Somerset Cider Brandy Company at Burrow Hill Farm.

Today I pushed the Minister to provide a detailed breakdown of how many of the additional 1.8 million NHS dental appointments provided have been urgent appointments, as opposed to routine checkups.

I am glad to hear that the first application window for SFI 2026 will soon be opened to small farms and those without an existing agreement. I will continue pushing for clarity for the 28,000 farmers with agreements due to expire later this year or in early 2027.

While I’m glad that the Government has agreed to postpone the Chancellor’s planned 5p increase in fuel duty, they must scrap their planned hike altogether, roll out our fully-costed plan to slash petrol prices by 12p per litre, and implement my Good Food Bill to safeguard our food supply chains.

As April 6 approaches, farmers are facing the reality of the Family Farm Tax. They're already dealing with spiralling costs & now the very real possibility they won’t be able to pass on the farms their families have built over generations. I'm calling on the Govt to axe the tax & back our farmers.

In yesterday’s Pride Month debate, I reiterated my calls for more lesbians – and more people from across the LGBTQ+ community – to stand for election, whether that be in local elections or for Parliament.

Today in Parliament I reiterated the Liberal Democrats’ demands for an immediate 3 month zero-rating for VAT on heating oil for all residential homes, and a price cap to protect them from international shocks. To listen to my speech in full, please visit my YouTube channel here: buff.ly/bkPmqEu

Rural pubs are the beating heart of our communities. Despite this, recent increases to business rates and VAT for hospitality venues are putting pubs like the White Hart in Castle Cary under threat.

I enjoyed the sunshine on the banks of the River Parrett even more after receiving confirmation from Wessex Water that new real-time water quality monitoring equipment will be installed in Langport this week.

Today in Westminster, I responded to the King’s Speech, pointing out that the delay in awarding Leonardo the new Medium Helicopter Contract is symptomatic of a Government which doesn’t take the UK’s security seriously.
