Thank you @LisaSmartMP for your visit to the #Tibet exhibition at the @LibDems party conference in Brighton today. It was a privilege to explain the ecological significance of Tibetan plateau. @freetibetorg @UkTibetan

Nigel Farage's phoney by-election was an attempt to dodge scrutiny over his £5m donation. He can’t dodge it forever. Now he’s back in Westminster, the investigation must resume. @LisaSmartMP

Tonight's Granada Debate: Andy Burnham's plan for a Number 10 North- good idea or gimmick? Plus, will the law change to deport grooming gang criminals? And should we get a Bank Holiday if England win the World Cup? With: 🔴 @ConnorRand4ASW 🔵 @A_J_Snowden 🟡 @LisaSmartMP

Our volunteers attended #Marple Carnifest to share the work of @samaritans Thanks to #HazelGrove MP Lisa Smart for stopping by. @LisaSmartMP @StockportMBC @marplewebsite

Pleasure to meet @LisaSmartMP in Parliament today to talk about the cost to both people’s health and wellbeing and to the wider economy of the failure to invest in NHS dentistry. Thank you for speaking up for those who can’t access the care they desperately need. @TheBDA

Fish and chips are out, roasted chickpeas are in... Lots for our political panel to get their teeth into (sorry) on this month's episode of the Granada Debate - including the Prime Minister's plan to overhaul school dinners. With @A_J_Snowden, @OliverRyanUK and @LisaSmartMP:

🗳️"Our First Past the Post voting system was outdated decades ago, [it's] a millstone around the neck of our democratic life." 💬 Our Vice-Chair @LisaSmartMP during last night's Second Reading debate of the Representation of the People Bill 👇

"So that people who can use public transport make that choice." The MP for Hazel Grove is calling on 'Transport for Greater Manchester' to explain how they will improve public transport links for the wider region after the announcement of the Metrolink line to Stockport. @LisaSmartMP told That's TV that her constituents want better public transport options.

Local schools can book on for a school visit to Parliament from 10am on January 28. The visits take place between April and July this year. Get more information at learning.parliament.uk/en/se…

"PR puts the power in the hands of voters rather than in the hands of politicians." Such an important point by @FairElectionsUK Vice Chair @LisaSmartMP at @UKandEU Lunch Hour. Under FPTP, big decisions are made within the large parties. Under PR, voters have real choice.

"I really hope they have children at the centre." The MP for Hazel Grove says there ' needs to be a reset' around SEND provisions in schools after meeting with the Minister for School Standards, @Georgia_Gould. That's TV spoke with @LisaSmartMP about how she hopes the government focus on the children when they release the Schools White Paper later this year.

"Evidence shows that PR leads to higher turnout, more representative governments and more stable policymaking." Yesterday in Parliament, several MPs raised the urgent need to fix our voting system. Thank you @DrScottArthurMP @OllyGloverLD @LisaSmartMP for your contributions! 👏

I met with Minister Georgia Gould, who was in Manchester on Friday to listen to the issues around SEND provision as part of her national fact finding work. Clearly there needs to be a reset around SEND provision to improve it across the country.

Rather than waste money on a digital ID scheme no-one wants or needs, we should be cutting people’s energy bills zurl.co/ITKvt

It was lovely to get such a supportive letter from the Canal and River Trust over Christmas for the work that I've been doing this year. Whether it's Marple Locks, or the impact of droughts on local canals, this is a critical for our heritage and our future.

I tried to get the Minister to commit to an answer on caps on donations to political parties or restoring the independence of the Electoral Commission. I'm not convinced I got a clear answer. What do you think?

I raised again the issue of mothers fleeing domestic abuse, being forced to return to the country, and even homes, where they suffered that abuse because of flaws in the Hague Convention. I am glad to see the Government listening, and starting the work needed to change this.

Stockport is worse off under the Labour Government's funding settlement, despite containing the most deprived part of GM. We appear to have missed out on the recovery grant by 0.01%. I want the Gov't to ensure the most vulnerable people won't be affected by their decision.
