A year ago, I won the #Chelmsford parliamentary seat, ending 74 years of Conservative rule. Since then, I’ve worked hard for my constituents, championing local issues and making sure Chelmsford’s voice is heard. Being an #MP isn’t easy, but I love it. Thanks for your support. #GeneralElection

Make sure you vote for the #LiberalDemocrats this Thursday. The Conservatives want to sell everything.
#Chelmsford Conservatives think John Shennan Field should have been built on.
Chelmsford Lib Dems - including our county council candidate, David Loxton - are delighted that the Lib Dem-run city council has now made it a Local Nature Reserve, hopefully protecting it for generations to come 🌍

True friends and allies have always been important but never more so than in these worrying times. It was genuinely an honour to visit Canada House and hear from the Canadian High Commissioner this morning. Pleased to be there with Lib Dem colleagues including @dannychambers.bsky.social.
Alongside @mariecgoldman.bsky.social it was a privilege to visit the High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom celebrating their presidency of the G7. In times like these, it's important we have principled leaders willing to stand with allies & defend democracy from tyranny at home and abroad.

I’m concerned about debts racked up by the incompetence of Tory council administrations and how residents in places such as Essex and Surrey might be left paying the price, with higher taxes and fewer services. This should have been fixed before the elections were cancelled. #LocalCouncils

It's great that the Liberal Democrats have managed to protect this green space in Moulsham Lodge from future development.
We held the official opening for John Shennan Field as a Local Nature Reserve yesterday!

The system for supporting children with special educational needs is broken and families are suffering. In Essex, just 0.9% of EHCPs are issued on time, and nationally, 37.4% are delayed by 6 months or more. The Government must act now. Children can’t wait.
