Olly Glover MP 🔶

This morning, I spoke on BBC Radio 5 about the ceasefire in Iran, the rise in shoplifting, and the challenges facing the hospitality industry. That's why the Liberal Democrats are calling for a 5% cut in VAT to support hospitality businesses and help them thrive in our community

I asked the Minister for Transport on their plans to support local authorities in delivering accessible routes and promoting active travel. I look forward to the Government's Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy and how this will improve active travel across Oxfordshire.

Today, I have written to Thames Water to demand a response to the shocking statistics on sewage spills in my constituency. We must ensure that these water companies take action to address the causes and prevent spills in the future.

Liberal Democrat MPs have written to Keir Starmer today calling on him to withdraw US access to UK air bases. Donald Trump's latest shocking threats against Iran would amount to war crimes. The UK cannot be complicit.

57% of UK drivers say there are fewer potholes on Europe's motorways in comparison to ours. The government must consider road strategies from other countries, to find long-term solutions and put a stop to the ongoing pothole epidemic.

🎉I'm delighted to share that I've been reappointed as one of the Vice-Chairs for the All Party Parliamentary Group on Motor Neurone Disease. We will continue to advocate for more research and new treatments, to support people living with MND and their families.

It's about time that Wes Streeting kicked Palantir out of the NHS. Trump's favourite tech giant helps his ICE thugs target innocent people. They can't be allowed anywhere near Brits' private health data.

Marriage equality became a reality 12 years ago today in England & Wales. I'm proud to have voted for it as an MP because everyone should be able to marry the person they love. More work remains to build a fairer, equal society. The fight continues 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

It was a pleasure to visit @Kahootz in Wallingford, to see the fascinating work they do providing online secure communications technology. It's crucial we support these companies who provide reliable, British technology solutions to many essential sectors across the UK.🌐

Liberal Democrats have a plan to make Britain the safest place in the world to have a baby ⬇️

The Government has agreed to incorporate Max Wilkinson’s Sunshine Bill into their Future Homes Standard. It means all new homes built from 2028 will come with solar panels. This will reduce bills for owners of newbuild homes, reduce pressure on the energy grid and help fight climate change. It’s a Lib Dem win-win-win.

Four ambulances belonging to a Jewish community charity have been set on fire in north London. Today we say again - Antisemitism has no place in this country.

It was great to be at the Lib Dem Spring Conference last weekend.🔶 A great opportunity to discuss and create new policy with colleagues, organisations and activists from all over the UK.

The Labour government's decision to cut Oxfordshire County Council's funding by £24.1 million over three years will put further strain on an already stretched budget. We need long-term investment to local governments, to get our roads in better condition.🛣️

@MartinStubbs4 Happy to. Please can you email olly.glover.mp@parliament.uk, and my team and I can look into it?

@OllyGloverLD Please could you ask the Royal Mail why the Wantage Delivery Office doesn't have any chargers have their electric vans

CECA members were recently joined by Olly Glover, a member of the Transport Committee and transport spokesperson for the Liberal Democrats, for a roundtable discussion focused on the Railways Bill and plans to establish Great British Railways (GBR). Read this short blog by CECA Director of Policy & Public Affairs Ben Goodwin, which provides some background on Great British Railways and reflects on the key talking points from the session: lnkd.in/esPdx2_5 Thanks to Olly for taking some time out of his busy schedule to talk directly to CECA members on this important legislation, and thanks to those members who attended and took part in a lively and thought-provoking discussion. #infrastructure #construction #rail #GreatBritishRailways #transport #TransportCommittee #CECA #CECAmembers #roundtable

It's #EnglishTourismWeek26🌿 I met with @ExperienceOxBiz at @MiltonHillHouse to hear their plans to attract more local residents following the hotel's recent refurbishments. These brilliant business support local tourism and welcome visitors to our wonderful part of Oxfordshire

@NoelDolphin Same company, I believe, who did similar to Thames Water...

I am just chucking this out there: NCP has not collapsed due to Covid as they claimed. They collapsed as they were bought out by Macquarie Group, who saddled them with huge debt, who then palmed them off on the next vulture hedge fund to pick what was left bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

On BALPA's second day in Westminster this week, Amy Leversidge met with Liberal Democrat transport spokesperson @OllyGloverLD (pictured) and Conservative MP @SirRogerGale We covered funding of pilot training, pilot fatigue and wellbeing as well as contrail mitigation

Business travellers make up 21% of all visits to Oxfordshire spending 1.6 million nights in the county and contributing £180 million in the local economy. During #EnglishTourismWeek26 we're celebrating this local success story. The venues and facilities used by this important element of the county's visitor economy are an asset for local people to enjoy too as @OllyGloverLD MP for Didcot and Wantage discussed when he visited @MiltonHillHouse : “It was a pleasure to meet with Aleksander and Charlotte at Milton Hill House to see the results of the major refurbishment the hotel has undertaken. It was interesting to hear their plans to attract more local residents to make use of the gardens, bar and restaurant." Aleksander Tyszkiewicz, Operations Manager said: “Whilst Milton Hill House has long focused on the important business events and conference market, we are also keen to welcome locals to the newly refurbished House to enjoy our bar, restaurant and spa experiences. It was a pleasure to welcome our MP Olly Glover and to discuss the current operating environment including the transport issues which impact our business. We’re grateful to the Experience Oxfordshire team for arranging Olly’s visit.” #ExperienceOxfordshire #EOPartner #LVEP #localvisitoreconomypartnership #DMO #Oxfordshire #VisitorEconomy #DestinationManagement #DestinationMarketing #TourismSector @VisitEnglandBiz @VisitBritainBiz @DCMS @biztradegovuk
