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 Liberal Democrats have always believed that power belongs to the people, not foreign states, tech algorithms, or wealthy elites. Our new policy will defend British democracy, root out dark money, and rebuild public trust from the ground up.
Liberal Democrats believe active travel is not just transport policy - it is preventive healthcare, environmental action, and economic common sense.
Liberal Democrat members have passed a new policy to safeguard creators from AI exploitation, support grassroots venues, tear down barriers to touring, and rebuild music education for every child.
