Great to speak with our Foreign Secretary @David_Cameron , who shared wisdom from many years’ experience knocking on doors across Berkshire and Oxfordshire. We also discussed the importance of robust foreign policy to advance British values and strategic positioning abroad. 🇬🇧

Today is the anniversary of the Tianamen Square massacre. I grew up in Hong Kong and campaigned peacefully for democracy with hundreds of thousands of Hong Kongers. As your Member of Parliament, I’d be a loyal advocate for Wokingham’s HK community and Britain’s national security.

Local Lib Dems are planning traffic chaos at Woosehill Roundabout. Proposal to reduce car lanes even though there’s already a cycle lane and the road has just been redone. A Lib Dem MP would allow the Council to waste resources and frustrate daily life. I’d champion change.

Lib Dems try to paint this as a 2-horse race. But the last 2 times their candidate stood for Wokingham in the General Election, he finished 3rd, after the Conservatives and Labour. Wokingham needs a substantive, dynamic new MP for the years ahead to deliver a bright new future.

When faced with real responsibility in local government, Lib Dems fail to step up and daily life grinds to a halt. Our Conservative Government gave Wokingham Council an additional £13m to invest in roads last year, but Lib Dems cut road spending and created new travel chaos.
