This will be my final post on X until the platform cleans up its act.
I have decided that the platform is failing women, children, and society at large.

- Tomorrow I will be voting to stop the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill. It will have dire consequences for the disabled, the long term sick and of course those in their families who care for them.Replying to @CarersUK
- At the end of what has been one of the most extraordinary days of my life, I want to say thank you to the people of #MidSussex who chose me to represent them in parliament. Regardless of who you voted for, I will do my utmost to serve you. Thank you.🔶 Liberal Democrats GAIN Mid Sussex Congratulations Alison Bennett MP
- Today's devastating decision by the government not to pay compensation to millions of wronged @WASPI_Campaign women is shameful. Coming at a time when trust in politicians has never been lower, it will only undermine public trust in the PHSO process.
00:00 - A whirlwind first day in Parliament. Brilliant to meet so many Lib Dem colleagues including getting all five newly elected #LibDem Sussex MPs together for the first time with our Leader Ed Davey

- I am honoured to have the backing of #SteveCoogan who has endorsed me and @LibDems as the best tactical vote in #MidSussex to #StopTheTories @MVTFWD Thank you Steve 🙏
00:00 - Less than 4 weeks since the Conservatives lost control of the Council, we learn that Mims Davies is switching seats again Maybe she realised what we have known for a while: under the new boundaries #MidSussex becomes a marginal seat I am running to win it for @LibDems
- And so it begins... on my way from #MidSussex to London for my first day at Westminster. I can't wait to get started. There's lots to learn, so please bear with me whilst I get my office set up. A big thank you to everyone for their best wishes over the weekend.
00:00 - Today I was sworn in as the Member of Parliament for #MidSussex I am in awe at finding myself in this place. Surrounded by history, and ceremony, and mindful of the very many great people who have come before and will follow after my time has passed
00:00 - A brave decision by fellow my councillor at Mid Sussex to resign from the #Conservatives because of the #DowningStChristmasParty scandal I wonder how many other Conservatives are also wondering how far their loyalty can be stretched? chichester.co.uk/news/politics/…
- Announcement: It is a real honour to have been selected by #MidSussex @LibDems to be their next parliamentary candidate. midsussexlibdems.org.uk/en/article/202…
- Today I challenged @YvetteCooperMP to issue an impact assessment setting out what the consequences will be of stopping overseas care worker visas this year The Home Secretary avoided the question The government must consider the impacts on the sick, the frail and the elderly
00:00 - An absolute privilege to join fellow candidates and Deputy Leader @libdemdaisy at the @LibDems manifesto launch this morning Brilliant speech by @EdwardJDavey setting out our plans to rescue the NHS and give the people of #MidSussex a fair deal
- I am honoured that @EdwardJDavey has asked me to be the @LibDems Spokesperson for Care and Carers The new government must take action to fix care and properly support those who are carers. The future of the NHS depends upon it
