My time on X has come to an end.
I canβt sleep knowing that Iβm leading traffic to a site that actively enables sexual exploitation of women and children.
Instead, you can find me on Bluesky, Facebook and Instagram. Links below. See you there β₯οΈ

The chronic mismanagement of Thames Water is why I called a debate on its future in Parliament yesterday.
Sadly, stories like Len and Jenny's of sewage in peoples homes are all too common.
If Thames Water cannot be trusted to do the basics, then what can they be trusted to do?

The Liberal Democrats have long argued for shifting the big levers on the economy to make a difference to people's lives.
That's why we are pushing for a Customs Union with the EU.
We have to see shifts in the economy so that small business can thrive.

Very sorry to hear that former Conservative Oxfordshire County Council Leader Cllr Ian Hudspeth has passed away. We crossed swords many a time but he was a good man and dilligent public servant. My thoughts with his loved ones and friends at this difficult time.

Yesterday in @CommonsHealth we were joined by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Wes Streeting.
This is what we asked him...

The Government has responded to our report on black maternal health π
ALT Text that reads: The Government will soon implement its new system for identifying the cause of severe failures in maternity care, responding to our report on black maternal health.
ALT Text that reads: A new indicator system will be used to collect data on complications that take place in the care and treatment of pregnant women and babies, and analyse for patterns.

This morning I spoke to @bbcr4today about weight loss jabs.
Many perceive them as being a silver bullet but the @commonshealth Committee don't think they are.
Weβre running an inquiry looking at this but also the food industry which lies at the root case if the problem

Alongside other civic and faith leaders in Oxfordshire, I stand against all forms of hate. Here is our joint statement:

Itβs encouraging to see @CCWvoice urging Ofwat to hold Thames Water to its responsibilities. Any Thames Water deal must ensure the company tackles sewage pollution and does not pass additional costs on to customers who are already feeling the strain.

Since 2019, the NHS has spent more money on maternity negligence claims than the entire NHS maternity budget for same period.
Investment now in maternity services will reap rewards very quickly.
The Government does not need to wait for the Amos review to start making a change.

It's #SmallBusinessSaturday β a great chance to support the brilliant independents that keep our high streets thriving.
I recently visited The Handlebar CafΓ© in Oxford with my team. Fantastic food, friendly people, and a reminder of how important our local businesses are.

The Tories botched Brexit deal has left us Β£90 billion worse per year.
The Lib Dems have a plan for a Customs Union with the EU that would bring around Β£25 billion to the economy.
The Lib Dems will bring a vote on this next week and I hope Labour backbenchers will support us.

The Secretary of State for Health is absolutely right that the NHS must innovate and renew.
I am concerned that the focus on physical health in last weeks budget risks deprioritising mental health instead.

This week the Health and Social Care Committee published its report into community mental health services.
The report is clear that we must take a radical new approach to mental health and indeed its funding.

I am disappointed to see that the mental health investment standard has been watered down in this Budget.

Today I asked the Prime Minister if he would look at Lib Dem plans to introduce a regulator and a cap on outrageous, rip-off service charges.
The stories of Allison and Rebecca being ripped off by the wild west of the service charge sector are sadly all too common.

The news that the NHS may now have to pay up to Β£3 billion more for drugs from the US is concerning.
There needs to be clarity from the Government about who exactly will pay for this.
The Government shouldn't prioritise economic growth over the health of the NHS.
