It was a privilege to attend the Duchenne UK drop-in. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare condition and we must urgently work towards widening access to transformative drug treatments through the Early Access Programme (EAP).
Today members of the Foreign Affairs Committee Affairs Committee met with the Tom Fletcher to discuss the on-going situation in Gaza and the West Bank, Ukraine, and Syria, as well as US cuts to aid. I am extremely grateful for his time and valuable insights.
Just this morning we Liberal Democrats said that, following the PM’s Trump trip, we remained worried about what would happen next. Just hours later and here we are - witnessing Trump & Vance execute an ambush on President Zelensky in the Oval Office.
Today I asked Minsters about funding for agricultural courses, at places like Kingston Maurward. Sadly the answer was wholly unsatisfactory.
Thanks to Tim Farron for consistently standing up for British farming and our values.
Extremely interesting Foreign Affairs Committee evidence session on the conflict in Eastern DRC. Estimates of 8-12,000 Rwandan troops vs 3,000 M23 soldiers. Time we stopped talking about an M23 insurgency, and about a Rwandan invasion instead?
At todays Foreign Affairs Committee on DRC we discussed conflict minerals.
My thanks to Alex Brewer MP 🔶 for her excellent speech and for agreeing with the importance of protecting our precious chalk streams.
Wera Hobhouse Liberal Democrats says she was treated ‘like a criminal’ after being refused entry to Hong Kong, where she was visiting to see her grandson for the first time
China can’t expect to benefit from the UK’s openness while denying entry to British MPs and targeting pro-democracy voices. It’s unacceptable. We’re urging the Foreign Secretary to summon the Chinese ambassador and demand answers for Wera Hobhouse MP 🔶 🇺🇦
Great Liberal Democrats turnout for this evening's Countryside Alliance Rural Reception in Parliament.
