Infection is the second leading cause of death among people with cancer, after the cancer itself. So why does the Government's National Cancer Plan only mention it once, in the foreword? You can find my letter to the Minister here:

No one with a full-time job should have to turn to a food bank. In-work poverty is all too common and that has to change.

Britain feels broken because it is being held back. People feel powerless, and they can't hold the powerful to account. Liberal Democrats want to change our politics so that, together, we can fix our country.

Yesterday, funds for the Government's Sustainable Farming Incentive ran out in just 6 hours. Farmers are being left saddled with debt with no support from the Government. If you are a constituent and have been affected by this, I want to hear from you.

“There’s a lot of extreme politicians (Trump, Farage) sucking up all the oxygen by saying wild & crazy things….we’re talking about really sensible things”, Lib Dem Danny Chambers explains why it’s hard for them to cut-through with the public.

National security, food security and energy security are all linked. If we are serious about building resilience during a time of such turbulent geopolitics and extreme weather, we have to tackle these issues holistically. Find my answer from BBC South here:

Really great to chat to @AlisonEBennett & @DannyVet from @LibDems health team about impact of #arthritis and why it's time to have a national plan to finally take it seriously @arthritisukorg.

Sepsis is the second biggest killer of cancer patients. Yet infection is only mentioned once in the National Cancer Plan. We need more diagnostic tests so we can protect vulnerable patients.

The RNLI rescue people in difficulty at sea and make no value judgments as to who they rescue. One day we all may find ourselves in difficulty and we will wish to be rescued and not judged. Proud to sign EDM794 which pays tribute to the incredible, selfless work of the RNLI.

People who deliberately harm animals are much more likely to commit domestic abuse. For 25 years, The Links Group have been researching and raising awareness of this. If we are serious about protecting victims of domestic abuse, we have to identify these people earlier.

Water companies have gotten away with hiking bills, dumping sewage and paying their shareholders for too long. Let's call it what it is: ecological vandalism. It is completely unacceptable that our chalk streams and wildlife are being put at risk.

Last weekend, our co-founder Jules Booker was invited to an Animal Welfare Question Time event with MPs @DannyVet and @VikkiSlade72. Following an interesting session on many topics, it was great to receive their support for our new "Protect the 'Pods" campaign, which we're running in partnership with Compassion in World Farming. We're looking forward to working with Danny, Vikki, and other supportive MPs to build momentum for the campaign and help secure better protection for decapod crustaceans and cephalopod molluscs. #ProtectThePods #CrustaceanCompassion

It's been a particularly tough year for British Farming, with a record wet winter, a drought and a disease outbreak. My colleague @AlisonEBennett and I joined the @NFUPolitical event in parliament to discuss farming, agriculture and food security.

'Vaccines have saved hundreds of millions of lives, eradicated diseases, prevented lifelong disability, protected our livestock and reduced our dependence on antibiotics. The greatest problem with vaccines is that they are a victim of their own success.' dannychambers.substack.com/p…

Cancer patients are waiting months to begin vital radiotherapy treatment. Research shows that every four-week delay reduces patient survival by an average of 10% I'm working cross-party to urge the Government to increase access to lifesaving radiotherapy.

Settlers in the West Bank are killing and stealing Palestinian livestock. For pastoral communities, this isn't just violence, it's another mechanism of forced displacement. Will the government sanction the Israeli ministers who are encouraging and endorsing this violence?

I understand that today in Canada 🇨🇦 is Star Trek day having aired the first episode two days before it was shown in the US. 🖖🏻 Good job Canada! 😉🤣

Women are suffering horrific injuries and dying in childbirth. This national scandal cannot continue. This week, we’ll force a vote in Parliament to demand safer maternity care for every mum. Britain must be the safest place to have a baby.
