Today is Small Business Saturday!
Let’s buy local and support the backbone of our economy and community.
I’ll continue to listen to and champion our Chelmsford small businesses and press the Government to do the same.

What a fantastic Saturday afternoon I had last weekend at Chelmsford Theatre watching the classic panto tale Aladdin. 🎭 It was such a brilliant performance. Well done to everyone involved!

Real progress needs inclusion. Yet many people with disabilities still face poverty, job discrimination, weak social protection, and threats to dignity. This International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we commit to building fair, equitable, inclusive communities.

Chelmsford constituents with BN(O) visas are worried about the Govt's plan to raise the English language requirement retroactively and to increase the income requirement. I raised this in a Westminster Hall debate and urged the Government to reconsider. #BNOVisa

In 2023, nearly 108,000 people received HIV care in the UK, showing progress. This World AIDS Day, we’re reminded there’s more to do as around 5,000 people remain undiagnosed. Recently, I met with the APPG on HIV, AIDS and Sexual Health to discuss raising awareness and expanding prevention.

Imagine being turned away from a bathroom, hospital, or cinema for “not looking female enough”. The leaked EHRC guidance could do just that. Along with my Lib Dem colleagues, I’ve written to the Minister calling for new, inclusive, practical guidance that protects everyone’s rights.

I had a lovely time visiting Beaulieu Park School and meeting students and staff. We talked about politics and the role of national and local government in our daily lives. The students asked some brilliant questions, and it was great to see how engaged and curious they were.

Had a great time chatting with #ChelmsfordCollege. We talked about devolution and local government, youth engagement and votes at 16. It’s fantastic to see young people using their voices and making change in their communities.

Women wait longer for diagnoses, face unequal health outcomes, and too often have their symptoms dismissed. I spoke with the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Women’s Health about how we can change this. It’s time to act. The Government must listen to women and prioritise urgent reform.

Violence against women and girls remains widespread, yet funding for vital support services is still uncertain. Today marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the start of a campaign to raise awareness and drive action.

Hospices are under immense pressure, with staff being let go and beds shutting down across the country. I visited Farleigh Hospice to chat about the challenges facing the sector, tour the facilities, and meet some of the lovely team. We’re lucky to have them in #Chelmsford.

Hi Chelmsford 👋🏼 Here are some things I’ve been up to this week.

It was great to visit Moto Pizza in Chelmsford today but sad to see thriving local businesses struggling with rising costs. The owner told me a VAT cut would make a real difference for them. That's why the Lib Dems are pushing for a 5% cut to help businesses keep prices fair and staff supported.

Change happens when someone asks. As Women and Equalities spokesperson and a woman myself, I know how important it is for more women to step into politics. Only 40% of MPs are women, and we need more. I almost didn’t stand until someone asked. Now, I challenge you to ask too. #AskHerToStand

I'm aware of local concerns about mini-buses bringing asylum seekers from RAF Wethersfield to Chelmsford. But Essex Police are unable to access the £2m funding given to Braintree Council to support local policing in Chelmsford. I've urged the Home Secretary to provide more funds to Essex Police.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. We honour trans and non-binary lives lost to violence. We stand in solidarity with trans and non-binary people everywhere. Your lives matter, your voices matter, and your stories matter.

Today I joined my #LibDem colleagues at a rally to call for an emergency VAT cut for hospitality. Going out for a meal, a takeaway, or a family trip shouldn’t be an unaffordable luxury. Lib Dem’s plan will help put money back in people’s pockets while supporting #Chelmsford’s local businesses.

Sexual violence is widespread and under-reported. I met CARA Essex, who get over 2,000 referrals a year, yet funding is uncertain. My Lib Dem colleagues and I have urged the Home Secretary to secure long-term support and prioritise survivors’ needs.

Hi Chelmsford ☀️ Here are a few highlights from this week.
Chelmsford families are paying too much for energy. The Liberal Democrats’ plan would slash the average household bill by more than £90 a year, putting money back where it belongs – in your pockets.
Affordable energy means warmer homes and stronger local businesses. It’s time for action.

Thrilled to officially open the new Beaulieu Health Centre. A modern facility ready to support Chelmsford residents. 🩺
Huge thanks to everyone who helped bring this project to life. It was a long time coming and a big team effort. An important investment in our local healthcare.

I recently met with #CARA (the Centre for Action on Rape and Abuse), who help of thousands survivors of sexual violence across Essex, including #Chelmsford. They need help. I asked the Minister to confirm funding for Rape and Sexual Abuse Support and ISVA services beyond March 2026.
