Graphic showing a picture of publicans and Charlotte sat around a table. Surrounding the picture is text which says: Publicans’ network Key issues raised: Sharp increases in business rates Lack of VAT relief on food sales Limited public transport Concerns and hopes for the Autumn 2025 Budget Last week, I hosted the first Publican’s Network Event, to hear the concerns and challenges publicans are facing across Ely and East Cambridgeshire.

🍻 I’ve launched the Publicans’ Network to support our amazing local pubs across Ely & East Cambs. Great first meeting at the Three Kings in Haddenham — real issues raised, real action to come.

Today, I spoke in the debate on dental healthcare in East Anglia, urging the government to take swift action in improving access to NHS dentists. 🦷

The people of Ely and East Cambridgeshire deserve better—I’m pushing for urgent change. #Ely #EastCambs #DentalDesert #DentalCrisis #NHS

Yesterday I visted Staploe Medical Centre in #Soham to hear GPs’ concerns about rising employer NI contributions and the strain on primary care. Grateful for their hard work—our practices need proper support to keep delivering vital services. #EastCambs #PrimaryCare #NHS

My week in Westminster (so far):
🗣️ Speaking on flooding preparedness.
📚 Preparing for the upcoming #AssistedDyingBill second reading debate.
❓ Asking the minister how local police will get resources to tackle shoplifting.
📂 Supporting constituents in #Ely & #EastCambs on a range of important issues.

What better way to launch my Bluesky account than with a clip from my recent Maiden Speech.

From housing costs to the Ely rail junction upgrade to our dental desert, I’m here to make sure #Ely & #EastCambs has a strong voice in #Westminster.

My favourite field was one apparently set aside at Weston Colville.
Puzzled by one at Willingham Green that seemed a monoculture of Small-flowered Cranesbill.
Barley looking almost ripe, and the Wheat getting there.
Other crops were Rape & Peas.

Skylarks over the pea field undaunted in their frenzied singing into the still, dank, cool air yesterday, despite it being rather enervating, the overcast, low cloud turning to intermittent drizzle.

Snow drifts of willow down on the River Snail through Fordham Woods, also rendering the trees in soft focus where trapped in spiders' webs.

The River Snail through Fordham Woods is a beautiful natural feeling place with many fallen trees over it (making a challenging obstacle course for swimming!). #chalkstreams #chalkstream #Fordham #EastCambs 5/6

Some interesting fungi on trees overhanging the River Snail but am stumped for identification. Any ideas? Also a patch of freshwater sponge in the river.

Wonder if the absence of fish diversity in the River Kennett downstream of Badlingham, despite its lovely clear rushing water and #chalkstream plants, is due to the brutally steep, deep banks of this heavily modified channel?

Along the Devil's Dyke, Southern Bracket (Ganoderma austral) and Glistening Inkcap.

At Stetchworth Pale Oyster (Pleurotus pulmonarius)? & Stubble Rosegill (Volvariella gloiocephala or Volvopluteus gloiocephalus)?
