Starmer must condemn Trump’s illegal actions in Venezuela

🧵 Yesterday, we learned that the brilliant Arthur Rank Hospice in South Cambridgeshire is facing a crisis due to a £829,000 funding cut. The reduction would close 9 of the 23 palliative care beds, representing a massive 40% decrease in capacity.

Live in East Cambridgeshire? Don't want the district council to waste £13 million on an unwanted crematorium next week? Sign the petition at change.org/stop-mepal-cre…. There's no time to lose.

Congratulations, Charlotte! @CharlotteCane8 @LibDems

Thrilled to join healthcare staff and local residents to celebrate the opening of #Ely’s new Community Diagnostic Centre at the Princess of Wales Hospital. This fantastic facility brings essential services, including MRI and CT scans, right to the heart of our community.

Bus routes are the backbone of economic activity in communities across our country - if the Government is serious about growth then it would invest in services which will boost our struggling town centres and high streets. They must scrap their bus tax from this week's budget.

I’ll keep pushing the Government on #NHSfunding for #Ely & #EastCambs.  #Budget2024

This week I met with supporters and staff from @breastcancernow in Parliament to celebrate #WearItPink. Delighted to find out more about the support and research they provide for everyone affected by breast cancer. You can get involved at wearitpink.org

✊ “Yes, we CAN pass the Climate and Nature Act!” Our cross-party campaign for the #CANBill is backed by MPs from across the main parties—and from all corners of the UK. We now need as many MPs as possible to join us. Is your MP on board yet? 👉 zerohour.uk

Today is World Mental Health Day. #WMHD2024 Far too often, mental health is still not treated with the respect or urgency of physical health.

I'm proud to back @rozsavagemp. Her #CANBill offers a major chance to fix years of Tory govt failures and get the UK back on track with its climate and nature promises. This Bill will help give the next generation the security they deserve. @zerohour_uk

Honoured to be appointed Vice Chair of the APPG for Sustainable Flood & Drought Management. Flooding & shortage of water for drinking & irrigation is an issue in Ely and East Cambs, and across the UK. I’ll push for policies that protect our communities & build a resilient future

Thank you to the @WickenFenNT team for sparing the time to show me around 🙏

Great to welcome the MP for Ely and East Cambridgeshire @CharlotteCane8 to our offices in #Cambridge Science Park. Charlotte saw our unique #FlexIC technology and key applications, alongside the groundbreaking research and development work we are doing within her constituency.

@mndcampaigns @AphraBrandreth Thank you MND for taking the time to share the experience of carers with me. I will work in this Parliament for a fair deal for carers. @ECLibDems

As the Budget approaches, I’m supporting CAMRA’s call for key reforms to support the draught beer and cider industry. This includes further reducing draught beer and cider duty, reforming the Business Rates system in England. @CAMRA_Official

Good to connect with so many incredible orgs in Parliament yesterday. Ensuring young people are heard is essential, and Youth Work plays a vital role in helping them thrive. Thank you to @DofE @ymca @scouts @Girlguiding @NationalYouthA @UKYouth for all your efforts! 👏🏻#BackYouth
