Big thanks to @JoPlattLeigh for sharing her challenging journey with #LongCovid. Yes, current @DWPgovuk approaches to assessment fail #pwLC, #pwME. Proposed changes will deepen this injustice, with devastating consequences. Rethink time bigissue.com/opinion/living…
BBC Breakfast segment on the UK government's new #MECFS Delivery Plan (12 mins) Features Sarah Boothby and Dr Binita Kane, who warn the plan doesn't go far enough and won’t lead to immediate change for patients. youtu.be/GZbSrdtiA9k?si…
The long wait for the Final ME Delivery Plan has continued…The Times and campaign groups published details of the Plan at midnight, but it wasn’t available to the rest of us at midday. 🙏🏽 to Minister Ashley Dalton for coming to reiterate this isn’t how it should be. Fresh start?
Thanks for a helpful analysis @KarenLHargrave. Really helpful whilst we wait to see the Plan. 👇🏽
The Final Delivery Plan for ME/CFS has been released today. The full report was shared with some organisations and media outlets late yesterday. We’re waiting for it to go online. A short 🧵with some thoughts… (1/)
I recently spoke in a Westminster Hall debate to highlight that ADHD is significantly overrepresented in our prisons, negatively impacting on rehabilitation and reoffending. Time to investigate why and what can be done to help - good for people with ADHD, good to reduce numbers.
June 30 + 10… and with still no sign of the ME Delivery Plan, last Thursday I again asked the Leader of the House, @LucyMPowell, if she could help bring an end to the delay which is so disrespectful for #pwME. I’m grateful for her acknowledgement and commitment to follow up. 👍🏾
June 30 + 9……still no ME Delivery Plan. Very grateful to @HelenMorganMP LibDem Health Spokesperson for writing to @wesstreeting asking that the Plan be published very soon. We owe it to #pwME to recognise the urgency of the challenge and take immediate action to address it.
I'm honoured to have served the residents of Wells and Mendip Hills as their MP for the past 12 months. I'll always try to help if I can. To reach me call 01934 440639 or message me on [email protected] Thank you for entrusting me with this privilege. Tessa
It was wonderful to take part in the commemorative photocall of all women MPs, marking 97 years since women gained the right to vote on equal terms with men. Each MP received a personalised sash by @RemakeNewport, marking our place in the history of #WomenInParliament.
Big congrats @DannyVet ! A wonderful achievement! Such a great example one year on of the @LibDems contribution to Parliament as the constructive opposition. 👍🏾
I could not have asked for a better way to complete my first year as an MP today. Too many animals have been suffering at the hands of criminal abusers and as a vet, to see this bill pass means everything to me.
Broken promises - Labour has turned its back on people with ME thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…
It’s 30 June….the ME Delivery Plan is a no-show. It’s unacceptable. #pwME have been left in darkness for too long. I’m with @HelenMorganMP: ‘The government must think again, publish the plan without delay, and allocate it the resources it needs to make a real difference.’

The very long awaited Final Cross-government Delivery Plan for ME/CFS won’t fix everything, but could be a start. Y’day I sought confirmation of its publication by the end of June, bringing some government commitment to #pwME. 🙏🏽 @LucyMPowell for a sympathetic response.
The Liberal Democrats’ foreign affairs team have written to the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, urging them to take the vital step of formally recognising a state of Palestine.
