📍 SUMMER POP-UP SURGERIES📍 Parliament is now in recess, which means I’ll be spending more time out in St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire meeting residents and listening to your views. This summer I’ll be holding a series of informal pop-up surgeries at venues across the constituency.

Residents of St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire must be able to benefit from the huge opportunity that upcoming housing and tourism development in Bedfordshire will bring to our area.

Here is my weekly roundup of some of my work from last week in Parliament and across St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire. 👇

The dust is now beginning to settle on a very busy election period. Across the country, we Liberal Democrats are on a record winning streak as voters reject the politics of hatred and division in favour of positive change and genuine community action.

Just cast my vote for the Lib Dems in today’s local elections! 🔶 🗳️ Polls are open until 10pm. Across St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire, your vote really does matter. Democracy matters. Please make your voice heard!

Yesterday's antisemitic attack in Golders Green was deeply disturbing, and my thoughts are with the victims, their families and to the entire Jewish community.

On Monday, the Prime Minister stood in the House of Commons for nearly two and a half hours, and said on at least 12 occasions that appointing Peter Mandelson as US Ambassador was an “error of judgment”. Not once in those two hours, however, did he tell us what his error of judgment actually was.

I was appalled to see figures revealed today that show shoplifting in Cambridgeshire has nearly tripled in five years and yet only one in four cases results in a charge.

At every opportunity, I am continuing to push the Government for fair and full compensation for everyone impacted by the Infected Blood Scandal.

‼️PIP Review – Have Your Say The Govt's review into Personal Independence Payment (PIP) has announced it is now taking evidence from the public. I urge anyone affected by PIP – people claiming, their friends, family & carers, as well as organisations representing them - to contribute their views.

**Local Health Survey Results Today I am launching the results from my health survey, which shows why local health services remain my top priority and means I will continue to press the Government for vital changes in our area.

Today I joined the charity @gingerbreadcharity.bsky.social, single parents and fellow MPs to celebrate Single Parents Day and to call on the Government to make good on its promise for urgent reforms to the Child Maintenance Service (CMS).

To mark #YoungCarersActionDay yesterday, I met with a really impressive group of young people to listen to how they are campaigning for proper support in schools for young carers, and the need for more funding so they don’t miss out on education because of their responsibilities at home.

Last week I had a fascinating visit to @nyobolt.bsky.social, an Impington-based company, which builds super-fast charging, high power, and long cycle-life lithium-ion batteries. It's a shining example of the world-class innovation that defines the Cambridge ecosystem.

I was delighted to celebrate with Cambridge Regional College and St Neots Citizen Hub after they won an award for excellence at the Association of Colleges (AoC) Beacon Awards in Parliament yesterday.

I am concerned to see the escalation of conflict in the Middle East, and that the UK has allowed the US to use its bases for strikes on Iran. No matter how the Prime Minister tries to redefine offensive as defensive, this is a mistake.

February has been LGBTQ+ month, where we reflect on the achievements of campaigners throughout history, and celebrate the huge contribution that so many LGBTQ+ people make to our society and communities.

Today, the Liberal Democrats successfully forced the Government to publish all files relating to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s appointment as trade envoy back in 2001.

Today after many months delay, the Government finally published its National Cancer Plan. We welcome its publication - especially as it is World Cancer Day - but so much more needs to be done to support cancer patients now and in the future, as well as boost research and prevention screening.
