Liberal Democrat MP for Harrogate & Knaresborough
A bold and necessary step. Recognition of Palestine, alongside a secure Israel, is the only credible path to lasting peace. The UK should follow France’s lead.
Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine. I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September.…
I’m trying to find Sasha, she sent this letter about protecting our oceans - it’s something I care deeply about too. 🌍🌊 She didn’t include a return address, but I’d love to write back. If a parent/guardian could get in touch I’ll make sure a reply gets to her soon!

Liberal Democrats have been leading the fight to scrap Ofwat and replace it with a tougher regulator that will take action against polluters. Today, the Government appears to have finally listened. We will be holding their feet to the fire to ensure these promises are delivered
At last, the Government has listened to the Liberal Democrats. Since November 2022, we have been calling for Ofwat to be scrapped. If the Government do not commit to this, it would be a dereliction of their duty and a betrayal of millions of customers across the country.
The government says it wants to "rebuild trust in our democracy". This needs to start with reforming the voting system to give everyone an equal voice. Thank you to @tomgordonLD @sarahjolney1 @ChrisLawSNP @alexsobel @DrScottArthurMP @ShockatAdam for raising this in Parliament.
AMAZING NEWS 🗞️ 🥳 - we’ve managed to get the UK 🇬🇧 Government to agree to a debate on Diabetes in Sport on September the 3rd - Which I believe is the first time ever the government has spoken on this subject. But we need your support so please watch & raise awareness 🙏

Quelle surprise…
In 2020 @Moreincommon_ launched the British 7 Segments. After a pandemic, major global conflicts, political upheaval, cost of living crisis, changes in work/social/information habits it’s time to update them for 2025. Here’s an intro to our new tribes of Britain (Quiz link next)
Thanks @tomgordonLD for raising the challenges faced by blind and partially sighted people in accessing bus travel. Concessionary travel is a lifeline for accessing work, education, and community and it’s vital that it's maintained.
🚜I’ve had a fantastic start to the Great Yorkshire Show this morning on North Yorkshire Council’s policy discussion panel. 🗣️It’s given me the opportunity to listen to business and charity leaders from across the county about what policy should look like going forward.

Great to see @TomGordonLD raise the need to scrap the 9.30am restriction on disabled bus passes. This is an equality issue—disabled people should be able to travel when they need to, not just when the system allows. Time for reform. hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2025-0…
