I’ve written to Sir Keir Starmer to ask him to table legislation to formally remove Prince Andrew’s titles. I’m pleased to have the support of 27 cross party MPs, with more expressing support in private.

People spreading antisemitic hate and inciting violence against Jews are getting away with it. We fear the government’s approach will do nothing to tackle that while undermining the fundamental right to peaceful protest.

In my maiden speech to parliament I warned Tory leadership hopefuls against leaving the ECHR. Kemi Badenoch has now surrendered policy making to Farage - just how far can the Tories fall?

Kemi Badenoch has chosen the side of Vladimir Putin and Nigel Farage with her plan to leave the European Convention on Human Rights. The ECHR is a proud British creation, championed by Churchill, that protects everyone's rights and freedoms.

I’m deeply saddened at the terrible loss of life and injuries sustained in the attack on Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur. My thoughts are with the victims and wider jewish community

Freddie van Mierlo, MP for Henley & Thame met with local residents in Sonning as part of a community-led climate lobby. The event followed a UK Mass Lobby of Parliament in July, where more than 5,000 constituents came to Westminster to advocate for action on climate change.

Great to catch up again with Debbie at the brilliant Watlington Rainbow Nursery. I’m reaching out to all early years settings in the constituency to learn more about the issues they face and truth about the government’s ‘free’ childcare hours.

Today I called in Parliament for better investment and care for our treasured National Trails - especially the Thames Path and Ridgeway. I also again highlighted the need for Marsh Lock Bridge to be repaired!

Henley & Thame MP Freddie van Mierlo and local councillors have slammed plans for a new town in Chalgrove, saying it puts national security at risk. The site is currently home to the Martin Baker Aircraft Company which makes ejector seats for military aircraft.

It was an absolute joy to present the prizes for the Regatta for the Disabled on Saturday - especially the prize for the 'most enthusiastic'. Thrilled to be able to support this wonderful event yet again! Already in the diary for next year!

Failing regulator Ofwat has let Thames Water off the hook. It has allowed TW to pay only 20% of its pollution fines, and the rest in FIVE years time! This is an admission that Thames Water is insolvent.

On 28 May 2025 Ofwat published its final decisions for two enforcement cases against Thames Water. These decisions included imposing two penalties on the company, one of £104.5m from the investigat...

The UK’s paternity leave regime is woefully out of date and out of step. Fathers and families deserve a better deal. The Tories refused to take action, but the government needs to get on with delivering change https://t.co/3fjtlbfuii

A privilege to be voted in as a vice chair of the APPG for PCOS, and to have the opportunity to chair the first evidence session on diagnosis. PCOS affects far more women than you might think, but there is no clear diagnosis pathway

Great meeting with residents of Eye and Dunsden. The villages are battling drainage and flooding issues and totally feel let down by the mess that is flood management in the U.K. They also felt let down by the Tories who neglected this area on the edge of the constituency.
