Marking Trans Awareness Week 2026

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.
