🧵 Yesterday in Parliament, I highlighted the South-west's brilliant, large defence-related manufacturing sector, including Needles and Pins Aerospace, a small, women-led business based in Somerton. 🔈 I asked the Government to make sure small businesses and UK based suppliers are entitled to the same opportunities and a level playing field to compete for larger contracts - to ensure value and security are being prioritised in defence and security-related manufacturing contracts. | Sarah Dyke MP

🦷 You may have heard me on BBC Radio Somerset on Sunday, discussing the dire state of NHS dental provision in Glastonbury and Somerton. ❌ I am determined to hold the Government to their promise to fix NHS dental services. The percentages of adults and children in Somerset who’ve seen a dentist in the past year are far below the national average; we can’t afford to wait for Labour’s Ten-Year Health Plan to come into effect. | Sarah Dyke MP

🦷 Today at PMQs I asked the Prime Minister how he intends to bring an end to the dental desert in Somerset and ensure my constituents in Glastonbury and Somerton can access the dental healthcare they so desperately need. 🏥 I am heartened to hear that the Somerset ICB will be given the resources to deliver over 13,000 extra dental appointments this year, and I look forward to hearing more details from the Prime Minister as promised. 😷 When so many are being pushed into debt or forced to travel

As rain continues across Somerset, I know residents across the Glastonbury and Somerton constituency will be keeping an close eye on their homes, vehicles, and livestock. Fear of flooding means that winter can often be time of great anxiety across the South West. Last weekend, I spoke on ITV West Country about the need for increased investment in community flooding resilience - particularly with the onset of climate change meaning extreme weather patterns are becoming the norm.

I could not be more proud to see a fellow Liberal Democrat champion, Sarah Dyke, win in Somerton and Frome. People are fed up with Conservative chaos and are choosing hard-working Liberal Democrats that will deliver for their community. The people of the South West have been neglected by the Conservative circus for too long. It is now time to end the show with a general election. This government has failed our NHS, our waterways, and our wallets. A change from this broken record has never been m

While the Government’s Water White Paper shows some promise in its commitment to tackling pollution, it goes nowhere near far enough to deliver the fundamental reforms that consumers and the environment both desperately need. Record sewage spills are occurring across the UK - with over 45,000 hours of sewage discharged last year in the Glastonbury and Somerton constituency alone – and consumers contend with skyrocketing bills and devastating outages, all while profiteering water company CEOs poc

🎖 John from Fivehead lost his hearing due to inadequate ear protection while training. Even though he’s never claimed benefits, the compensation he received could disadvantage him should he need support in the future - contrary to the Armed Forces Covenant. 🗣 Military compensation is meant to recognise the sacrifices veterans make, not disadvantage them when they need help. I raised John’s case in Parliament on Tuesday, and I will continue to fight to prevent military disability compensation a
