Israel today marks 2 years since atrocities were carried out there. Like many others, I’m hopeful that with peace talks underway, hostages can be returned and we see a lasting ceasefire. We must also reflect on the anniversary as a chance to strongly condemn all forms of terrorism and antisemitism.

I'm running the Oswestry 10k again, in aid of Hope House. They do incredible work for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions and provide much-needed support to parents. Please help if you can, I'd be so grateful www.justgiving.com/page/helen-m... #Oswestry10k

I’m horrified by the attack outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

My thoughts are with the victims, emergency services and the Jewish community.

There’s no place for violence like this in our society.

🚫 I cannot support a mandatory digital ID where people are forced to turn over their private data just to go about their daily lives.

Liberal Democrats have always stood up to defend civil liberties against government overreach.

We will fight tooth and nail to oppose these plans too.

Today I joined Market Drayton Councillor Jeremy Blandford for a look around the annual Ginger and Spice festival. Another great festival, this year featuring a parade in the afternoon. Of course I’ve come home with some Belton cheese and Billington’s gingerbread too!

Very sad to hear of the passing of Ming Campbell. He was delightful when I had the pleasure of meeting him and an inspiration to many, including me

Menzies Campbell, former Liberal Democrat leader, dies at 84

Campbell was North East Fife MP for nearly three decades and was made a peer, and once held UK 100m record Menzies Campbell, the long-serving Liberal Democrat MP who also led the party for 18 months, has died aged 84, his family have said. Lord Campbell, usually known as Ming, died in London after a period of respite care, his grandson Gregor Grant-Suttie said in a statement. He had spent some of his final days watching last weekend’s Lib Dem conference. Continue reading...

The role of grassroots sport is really important in fostering strong connections to the community. It was good to discuss that, and cricket provision across North Shropshire, with Cricket Shropshire and the England Cricket Board at Whittington Cricket Club yesterday.

Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson Helen Morgan:

"Nigel Farage wants to impose Trump's dangerous anti-science agenda here in the UK. Peddling this kind of nonsense is irresponsible and wrong.

"It seems Farage would rather see pregnant women suffer in pain than stand up to his idol Donald Trump."

2 years since #Whitchurch Civic Centre closed its doors after dangerous concrete was found, but no solution found. I told the BBC - while there’s deliberation, Whitchurch is without a permanent library & place to meet. I’m hopeful of progress with colleagues at #Shropshire Council.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

My amazing guide dog Jennie is the Westminster Dog of the Year! I couldn't be more proud of her. She is so much more than a guide dog; she's a good friend and my constant companion! She deserves all the treats and cuddles in the world! Thank you to everyone that voted! 🐾🏆

Pubs are at the heart of our community 🍻 But they're struggling... Will the Chancellor help? This week I've called on Rachel Reeves and her team to make sure there are measures in the upcoming budget to protect #pubs in North #Shropshire and beyond, and support our wonderful #hospitality industry.

North Shropshire farmers, and those across the country, deserve better. It’s time to stop neglecting them. Today I'm happy to support the NFU's #BackBritishFarmingDay. Earlier I met with their Midlands Regional Director and call on the Government for fairer funding and clearer labelling.

#EmergencyServicesDay lets us acknowledge the incredible role emergency responders play in keeping us safe and well. Day in, day out, the police, fire, ambulance and air ambulance services come to our aid and I'm grateful for all that they do in North Shropshire and beyond.🚨Thank you 🚨

It’s clear there is no lie too low or dangerous for Farage and his acolytes. Let there be no doubt: Reform are a threat to our health. We cannot let them get their hands on our NHS.

The dithering must stop! The Transport Minister has confirmed to me the total set aside for train station Access for All scheme, but with oven-ready designs, Whitchurch's plans need the green signal now. I pressed the Government today - and look forward to a response. #whitchurch #shropshire

A bit like fitting a square peg in a round hole. The Government wants greater devolution - including combining local authorities - but this metropolitan model doesn't work for Shropshire. I made that point in Parliament today and would urge the Minister to listen. #shropshire #devolution
