Pleased that my 1st vote as MP was to lift the 2 child benefit cap. V disappointed Labour has refused to give ground & will keep cap in place. Lifting the cap is the most efficient lever to lift children out of poverty in UK. That’ll be Labour’s child benefit cap then Liberal Democrats

Absolutely humbled to have been awarded the Young Liberals 🏳️⚧️ Emily Price award last night. I was never fortunate enough to meet Emily, but she is remembered so fondly and spoken of so highly by those that did.
