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 live 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.
The UK is facing a mental health emergency. Liberal Democrats have a proud record of pushing Britain’s mental health services forward. Now we are offering the bold solutions we need to fight the crisis unfolding in our communities.
British universities are a world-leading export and an engine for innovation, but today, the sector is at a breaking point. Liberal Democrats have passed a new plan to deliver a fairer deal for students and graduates and secure the future of the sector.
Liberal Democrats are committed to building town centres that inspire pride for generations to come. It is time to stop ignoring the decline of our high streets and breathe new life into them as vibrant hubs for the future.
