Award winning Pharmacist and Labour Member of Parliament for North Somerset. The views I express are my own.
It was great to discuss prison leavers with the Wates Group who have been supporting prison leavers for over a decade.

Some of the highlights were hosting a roundtable on medicines optimisation, welcoming Butcombe Brewery to Parliament's Strangers Bar and participating in a roundtable discussion on access to vaccines!

🚨 Good news 🚨
Hungry children struggle with attainment and behaviour at school which is why the Government has announced an expansion of free school meals from September 2026.
This will save families up to £450 per child, a year and will help lift 100,000 children out of poverty.

25 November marks White Ribbon Day, the international day to end violence against women and girls.
This year’s theme is 'We Speak Up' because letting sexism slide, whether it’s “jokes,” catcalling, staring, or comments, puts women and girls at risk.

Delighted to have been re-elected as Co-Chair of the Beyond Pills APPG!
With nearly two decades as a pharmacist, I've seen firsthand how critical it is to move beyond over-prescribing and medication dependency for treatments.
