In yesterday's Budget debate, I raised the issue of mental health services.
I am alarmed by reports that the Government may water down the investment standard for mental health.
This investment has proven to be vital in creating a parity between physical and mental health.

I'm so pleased that the two-child benefit cap has been scrapped, something the Lib Dems have long campaigned for.
However, the Chancellor missed a huge opportunity to reverse the £90bn a year cost of the Tories botched Brexit deal and announce a new UK-EU Customs Union.

Around 300,000 women have been affected as a result of being administered DES to prevent miscarriages.
It was right that the Health Secretary apologised for this, but more must be done.
I am pleased that he will meet with me and campaigners to discuss the issue further.

On Monday, market traders in Oxford were telling me how shoppers are hanging off doing their Christmas shopping as they wait for The Budget.
Shoppers are worried about how much money they will have in their pocket after tomorrow's Budget and the speculation has only added to it.

It was great to meet traders in Oxford’s Covered Market ahead of today's Budget. Traders explained how costs and staffing pressures continue to bite. An emergency VAT cut would give our local hospitality and retail sectors the support they urgently need. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2564685...

As we approach the Budget, I have written to the Chancellor, urging her to take action on Cost-of-Living and SEND provision.
Both of these issues are major concerns for my constituents and the Lib Dems have a plan to tackle them.

My thoughts are first and foremost with those who lost loved ones or live with life-limiting conditions like Long Covid. The Inquiry’s finding that an earlier lockdown could have saved 23,000 lives is devastating. We must learn lessons: act early, protect lives & jobs, and ensure Govt is prepared.

I know that flooding is something which my constituents are worried about.
The rainfall over the weekend raised concerns, particularly in South Abingdon, which has been badly hit recently.
The EA have flood barriers ready to go in the event of future flood threats in the area.

Many constituents write to me to say how shocked they are that international law often fails to hold those accountable for their actions.
We have a duty to bolster international law, not undermine it.
Today I asked for an update on the UK's response to the ICJ advisory opinion.

I join Calum in his calls for urgent action. The Secretary of State should step in and issue an immediate directive to the Environment Agency to clear up the illegal dump as has been done in similar previous cases. The National Crime Agency should also be brought in to investigate this vile crime.
The contaminated waste piled high in a field near Kidlington is now washing into River Cherwell. In the last 48 hours, the water level has risen 4+ feet and is lapping against the illegal dump.
We stand on the edge of an environmental disaster. We need urgent action from the Environment Agency.

The climate crisis is absolutely real and we must shift to renewable sources of energy.
However, there are significant issues with the Botley West solar farm plans.
The developers must cooperate with the planning inspectorate and offer more community benefit to the local area.

It was great to join BBC Radio Oxford yesterday to take calls from listeners.
I am so pleased to see progress on Lodge Hill after many years of campaigning on this issue by local residents and Oxfordshire Lib Dems.
The works will greatly improve congestion around Abingdon.

Research by Crisis shows that nearly 300,000 families are currently experiencing the worst forms of homelessness in England.

On Tuesday, I attended the Remembering Gaza ceremony in London.
I was honoured to give a speech drawing on this years theme of Hope and Renewal.
In my speech, I focused on the need for us to come together and remind people what our glorious homeland of Palestine has to offer.

The ITV News investigation into the illegal weight loss jab market is truly shocking.
This is clearly a huge problem that the regulator is not tackling. That is why I have written to the MHRA calling on them to crack down on this black market now.

I am supporting their campaign for justice for the women and their children suffering the effects of being administered the harmful Diethylstilbesterol drug during pregnancy.

I visited businesses along Botley Road last week to hear how they’re coping after such a tough few years. Goodwill payments are a positive step after years of pressure, but the disruption has gone on long enough- Network Rail must stick to its schedule and get the road reopened.

Nada, an Oxford plastic surgeon, told me stories of children in Gaza suffering wounds, which without care will lead to life-changing injuries.
I pushed the Government to work to establish a humanitarian corridor from Gaza to the West Bank for those injured to access treatment.
