Thrilled to share our article in Nature on how global politics and conflict zones are fuelling the rise of antimicrobial resistance.

🌍 Global health security isn’t charity — it’s a strategic investment in a safer, healthier, and more resilient world.

🔬 With international collaboration, long-term thinking, and smart investment, the UK can lead efforts to tackle antimicrobial resistance while creating high-skilled jobs at home and abroad.

Thank you to the Daily Express for covering my concerns.

"This a profound threat to the health and resilience of our farming communities.

"Outbreaks devastate livestock, disrupt rural economies, and take a severe toll on the mental health of farmers and workers who are already under pressure.

"The ripple effects on food security and consumer confidence would be far-reaching.”

Animal disease outbreaks pose significant threats to agriculture, food security, and wildlife conservation.

The children in this concert were absolutely amazing, we were blown away!

I urged the government, alongside Tim Farron, to take action to prepare Britain against the threat of severe animal disease outbreaks.

Risks are rising due to climate change, antimicrobial resistance, and gaps in post-Brexit border protocols. We need to act before it's too late.

I have had lots of constituents contact me about property management companies and the sharp increase in charges.

Alongside Lee Dillon MP, I've signed a motion in Parliament asking the Government to ensure fairness, affordability and a service guarantee that matches the fee.

A quick reminder that no dog died from missing a walk, but many dogs have died as a result of being exercised in hot weather!

I've treated many dogs with heat stroke and it is often fatal, which is heartbreaking for the owners.

Dogs really struggle in the heat - they cannot sweat so they cool themselves down by panting.

☀️ Dogs die quickly in hot cars - even if they're only left for a few minutes!

☀️Dogs often get heat stroke on hot walks

☀️Animals can get heatstroke if they have no access to cool water

10 times as many dogs present for veterinary care for heatstroke after being exercised in hot weather than present following being entrapped in a car.

Flat-faced breeds such as pugs or French bulldogs are at an even bigger risk of heatstroke.

❌Do not leave animals in hot cars
❌ Ensure they aren't locked in rooms with no ventilation
❌ Provide access to plenty of cool, clean water
❌Do not exercise in the heat

If a dog is collapsed from heatstroke you should:

✅ Bring your dog inside into a shady, well ventilated, cool room
✅Call your local vets and follow their instructions
✅Cool them down by pouring cold water on them
✅ Offer them a small drink of cool water, don't allow they to lap up huge quantities at once in case they vomit
✅ Travel to the vets in a cold, air-conditioned car

There's loads more useful info on preventing and treating heatstroke at Veterinary Voices UK!

If we don’t support unpaid carers, more people will be forced into full-time residential care — which ends up costing the Council, and taxpayers, even more.

With the political will, proper investment and genuine commitment to care work, we can build a system that supports people with dementia and provides dignity, giving their families the help and hope they so desperately need.

Chesil Lodge is a lifeline for unpaid carers. We cannot let it go without a fight.

The Conservative-run county council has already closed too many facilities and now they're threatening to close Chesil Lodge Day Centre in the heart…

If it rains, they dump sewage in our rivers and if it doesn’t they tell you to take shorter showers. Bills have already been put up. Maybe they should concentrate on fixing their own leaks and not making all of us pay for it twice over.

Southern Water has advised customers to think about having shorter showers to save water.

The UK must formally recognise the state of Palestine.

I, alongside all 72 Lib Dem MPs, have co-signed this letter to the Foreign Secretary urging him to work with our allies at next week's summit in New York to formally recognise the state of Palestine along 1967 borders.

It was fantastic to join Itchen Abbas Primary School on a tour of parliament - I learned a lot too!
