As we enter the final week of #GE2024 with just 3 days until polling day, #LiberalDemocrats are the tactical choice in #Runnymede and #Weybridge

It's really close in the polls and every vote will matter here #VoteLibDem

If you don’t already - have a listen to this podcast ( I’m in episode 10) - it’s refreshing and it humanises politics. Matt Forde is interviewing a candidate from each constituency

Very different characteristics from Egham in the north to Oxshott and Cobham in the south and everything in btw along the way. Fascinating and fun campaign.

Runnymede and Weybridge is shaping up to be a three way marginal - interesting times

Under new constituency boundaries #LibDems were second in the last general election and have more local councillors than other opposition parties.

Great to know the #LibDems manifesto is resonating so well with voters.

It includes a bold, ambitious & fully-costed plan to save the #NHS & fix the care crisis.

People across the UK are working hard, raising families and caring for others. They deserve a fair deal.

It's official, I'm on the ballot paper as #LiberalDemocrats candidate for Runnymede and Weybridge at the coming general election.

Proud, but at the same time, disappointed to be the only woman on the nomination paper.

We need more women in public life.

Great campaign launch today for Runnymede and Weybridge. So many people on the doorsteps have been saying change is needed, with many lifelong Conservatives switching to the #LiberalDemocrats

Across Runnymede and Weybridge there was a high proportion of unsolved burglaries in 2023 meaning that too many families now feel unsafe in their own homes.

#LiberalDemocrats are campaigning to stop river pollution. It’s scandalous that we have sewage released into our Surrey rivers, the rivers Wey and Bourne to name two.

Almost everyone that I’ve spoken to, is angry about private companies dumping sewage in our rivers. #sewagescandal

It’s outrageous that #thameswater wants to hike bills by 59%, while still dumping #sewage in our local waterways.

@LibDems plan is to ban bonuses, bring in a sewage tax, scrap Ofwat and make water companies put customers and the environment first.

On 4th July, the UK will go to the polls in the most important General Election in a generation. 🗳️ Here in Runnymede and Weybridge, this is an opportunity to finally change from Conservatives and send me to Parliament as your hard-working Liberal Democrat MP.

Just when you think they can't sink lower, the current Govt somehow manage to exceed expectations. My expectations of this Govt are now so low, I can't wait for a change.

I note many Conservative MPs voted for this bill, including Runnymede and Weybridge MP, #BenSpencer, ignoring the Supreme Court ruling & possible consequences that to send people to Rwanda would violate the principle of “non-refoulement”, in international law.

A sad day for the UK!

Parliament legislating that Rwanda is a safe country after the Supreme Court stated the policy is unlawful and leaves people open to human rights breaches, is a very dangerous precedent.

Surrey's schools set to receive a £24.8 million cut to spending power in 2024/25, a £167 fall in funding per pupil in Runnymede & Weybridge.

Ahead of today’s #budget, Runnymede & Weybridge #LibDems are calling for Government to boost funding for local schools as they struggle to balance the books.

Yet again Government’s words & actions diverge dramatically

Ministers have dramatically stalled plans to double the number of doctors being trained in England by 2031

Only 350 of the additional 7500 places will be funded for trainee doctors in 2025-26.
