Let the games begin! Athletes from across the world are gathering today to kick off the 2024 #Olympics – pushing boundaries and inspiring generations. If you were an Olympic athlete, which sport would you play?

Visited Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust at the Royal Berks in Reading today to talk about the impact of any delays to the New Hopsital Programme, ambulance handover times and how West Berks Commujity hospital can deliver more services locally.

Yesterday I joined the Waterside Centre Newbury to celebrate their 3rd birthday! 🎉 This incredible community hub is a lifeline for our young people & wider community. #WatersideCentre #Newbury #community #youth #MentalHealth #support Newbury Today

Using a child's death to fuel hate against communities is despicable. We are all appalled and heartbroken by the attack, but violence, hatred, and destruction are never the answer. We must stand united against those who seek to divide us. #Community #StopTheHate

Today, we're proposing substantial fines totalling £168 million, in an initial outcome from our investigation into Thames Water, Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water on the management of their sewage treatment works. 1/

It's a start - Thames Water 💧 fined, but £104m fine vs. £154m shareholder payouts? Outrageous. I will continue to put pressure on Ofwat, Defra UK & more. With 561 sewage spills in Newbury last year, we need action & accountability. #EndSewageScandal bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

With riots around the country, I've reached out to local mosques & community groups. Thanks for the many messages of support & concern from our community. I want to reassure everyone that we're united in our commitment to safety, respect, & inclusivity. #CommunityUnity #Newbury

Congratulations to all the young people in Newbury and the surrounding areas for starting their The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Award. 557 young people took part in the Award last year, which is a record-breaking number. Find out more about the award: dofe.org #YouthWithoutLimits

'It looks like the Government's first big mistake' Liberal Democrats leader Sir Ed Davey told #BBCBreakfast he wants MP's to vote on Government plans to end automatic winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Today, I challenged the Secretary of State about better planning for new housing developments. With 1.5 million homes in the pipeline, community infrastructure & essential services must come first. Our communities deserve better #Housing #NPPF

At this time of huge uncertainty for British farmers, a Tenant Farming Commissioner is badly needed to protect tenant farmers from reckless decisions made by some landlords. Liberal Democrats will always fight for Britain's farmers.

With millions of pensioners already struggling to make ends meet and energy bills rising, cutting Winter Fuel Payments will only make things harder. The Government must reconsider and act now to protect the poorest and most vulnerable.

West Berkshire has the lowest number of pharmacies per head in the UK—just 1 for every 7,200 people. We need urgent investment, support for independent pharmacies, and a plan to fix this crisis. #PharmacyCrisis #SaveOurPharmacies fleet.libdems.org.uk/001b000000Q0NJ…

Newbury Lib Dem MP Lee Dillon MP 🔶 tells me he’ll work with ministers and local chemists to understand why West Berkshire has the lowest level of pharmacy provision in the country. Four pharmacies closed there in the past year alone, according to National Pharmacy Association.
