I'm hugely grateful for the support I've received since being elected.

It means a huge amount to me, I do not take it for granted, and I will continue to fight every day to make Wi******er a happier and healthier place to live.

Early diagnosis and swift treatment is vital for improving outcomes for those with cancer.

Access to these services should not depend on your postcode, but all too often, they do. I was very glad to sponsor the motion in comments to call on the government to ensure that rural communities are taken into account in their National Cancer Plan.

You can see the full motion in the comments:

The world is not changed only through legislation or international institutions. It is changed every day in consulting rooms, on livery yards and on farms.

Being a vet gives you access to the most intimate parts of people's lives.

You meet people at their most vulnerable. You share their joy at a new family puppy or a successful calving, and you share their pain and despair at times of loss, when a herd goes down with TB, or a faithful dog reaches the end of his time.

That is not ordinary work. It is one of the greatest privileges any profession can offer.

Because this work matters.

It matters to the individual animals and the people who love them.

It matters to the farms, the businesses and the communities we serve.

Being a vet teaches you invaluable life lessons. And it is an honour to bring these lessons to Parliament.

Big day in parliament today - it's Andy Burnham's first budget.

I'm hoping the government will give a lot of support for small and medium-sized businesses, reduce the costs associated with employing new people and cut VAT for hospitality.

As mental health spokesperson, I hope to see investment in getting people off mental health waiting lists and back into work, which will be good for those individuals and good for the economy.

What do you want see in today's budget?

Last week, I was honoured to speak at the Barrie Edwards Memorial Lecture for University of Liverpool Veterinary Alumni Association.

My message to students: the world is run by the people who show up. For veterinary scientists and clinicians, we need your input to answer some of the biggest challenges we are facing at the moment.

Climate change, economic instability, energy security and much more needs informed, thoughtful and expert action in response.

And that is why scientists are needed in politics, now more than ever.

I'm very pleased that the Government has launched a consultation on the CO2 stunning of pigs.

This is a very serious animal welfare issue that needs to be addressed, and I'm looking forward to working with experts and stakeholders to ensure we take action on this.

We know that mental health services are beyond stretched, with many, including children, waiting years for treatment.

Anecdotal evidence is one part of tackling the issue, but we need to look at steps to support patients, carers and staff as a whole. A plan that falls short of this will fail.

It only felt right to properly introduce the latest addition to Team Danny, Winnie, a schnoodle, who belongs to one of my team.

She called by the office to say hello and even picked up a t-shirt...

If we are serious about protecting people, we have to also protect animals.

Last week I spoke at an event about Holly's Law, which calls on the government to recognise that those who abuse animals are more likely to go on to abuse others.

We need to ensure that animal abuse convictions are shared with relevant professionals who are seeking to protect people.
