77 years ago today, the HMT Empire Windrush docked in Essex - marking the beginning of the Windrush generation’s arrival here in the UK.
I am the Member of Parliament for Esher and Walton and sit on the Liberal Democrat frontbench as Spokesperson for International Development. When I was elected in 2024, I became the first woman ever to represent this seat, and the first non-Conservative in over a century.
I have four children and lives in Thames Ditton. I was Vice Chair of Governors for eight years at one of our local primary schools and a Trustee at Princess Alice Hospice.

So we will keep fighting - until we can finally build a society where everyone is free to be who they are.
My message to the UK’s LGBTQ+ community is clear - I support you. I stand with you.
