Today, on #ArmedForcesDay we say thank you to all those who are currently serving our nation, and to all those who have served us in the past.

Thank you.

Really important that legal advice is fully followed and that the government act with utmost caution.

If you want action on water pollution and the failing #water industry, better vote Lib Dem

Last night, @LisaSmartMP.bsky.social tabled an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill to hold water company managers liable for missing pollution commitment levels.



It was voted down by the government. It’s so disappointing that Labour MPs have voted to let these executives off scot free.

Reform to begin Musk-style audits of councils – BBC News headline

If you’re looking at Elon Musk’s DOGE and thinking that is how we want to have our bins collected and potholes filled - you might be learning the wrong lesson.

Battle begins over new homes approved in historic village without sewage capacity Charity launches legal challenge as it says problem of over-capacity sewage works near new homes is "rife".

I will be very interested to see how this develops. Sewage capacity is a major concern in Buckingham as well as across the country

This might be worth signing if, like me, you are concerned about the very uneven media coverage received by different political parties.

We know where destructive, divisive politics will lead.

We know what’s at stake. And it falls to us to stop it.

Election result showing a Labour, Lib Dem and Conservative all elected for the same ward.

Political fragmentation at work: Buckingham ward, Buckinghamshire.

Congratulations to the team in Buckinghamshire!! 19 GAINS is phenomenal now a group of 27. 😀

Why the UK’s electricity costs are so high – and what can be done about it From nationalising gas plants to boosting renewables, how soaring prices could be tackled

'Why the UK’s electricity costs are so high – and what can be done about it.' Decoupling cheaper renewables from high cost gas was promised by the last Gvt years ago. It still hasn't happened. Miliband should get on with it. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

NHS cancer patients denied life-saving drugs due to Brexit costs, report finds Exclusive: Britons found to have ‘lost out’ while rest of Europe benefits from golden age of research and treatments

Brexit is bad for our health (as predicted). There’s an urgent need now to repair the damage done and get health research and provision back on its feet.

Pecksniff: And the winner is… Ed Davey (or should be) In which Mr Pecksniff lays before his readers for their approval certain observations and speculations reflecting on the political life

“The media elite which have so misshaped our politics, misreport the public’s views on such a scale it shows contempt for the readers and viewers,” says @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social in his latest column which notes Badenoch’s lies and celebrates Steve Bray’s exoneration.

Why are we not talking about the most popular party leader? Attention to Reform UK is distracting attention from the quiet rise of the Liberal Democrats. They may do well in our region

Everyone’s watching Reform UK, but the real story is Ed Davey, the most popular party leader in England.

The Liberal Democrats are on the rise, it's just that the pollsters forgot to mention it.

Blocking MPs from voting on a US trade deal would be straight out of Trump's anti-democratic playbook.

Labour MPs should make clear to the PM they won't let him sell out our NHS, undercut farmers or weaken protection for children online. He must give Parliament a vote.

Please sign this petition to help stop the Luton airport expansion. It’s going to ruin net zero targets, cause terrible pollution and destroy local wildlife. The plans were rejected on environmental grounds but Reeves pushed them through regardless of the impacts.

Graphic with text "Lib Dems Winning: Liberal Democrats take poll lead in the South". Below a bar chart shows the result of a recent Yougov poll in the South of England and changes from the previous poll: Lib Dems 25%, +5; Conservatives 23%, -3; Reform UK 22 %, -3; Labour 18, =.

A new YouGov poll out today has us leading in the South of England.

Millions of people want a strong anti-Trump, anti-Farage party that works everyday for their communities.

Fixing things in the community is what Liberal Democrats work for.

"We all know that if he's anything, President Trump is unpredictable.

"If we can't rely on the US for certainty then clearly Europe needs to step up to protect Ukraine and also Europe's security."

Last week, care workers marched for fair pay and sustainable funding. The sector is in crisis and I was pleased to hear Newbury constituents joined the call for action. The government must act now. Read more: buff.ly/4biaDHT

I want to send my best wishes to Muslims in the UK and across the world at the beginning of Ramadan. This holy month is a special time for reflection, prayer, and coming together as a community. Wishing you a peaceful and blessed Ramadan.

‘Our safety is at risk’: Wendover residents blast HS2 over lorries using narrow lane Wendover residents have blasted the firm behind HS2 for its plans to send lorries down a narrow street in the town.

Excellent Bucks Free Press article on the #HS2 #Wendover HGV issue. With a quote from me. #LibDems www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/2492482...

First primroses spotted.

Lib Dems will be campaigning hard in #Buckinghamshire to end decades of Conservative control and arrogance.

Recognition of Palestine even more urgent now.

Given the constant wtaf-ery of international politics at the moment, here is a nice picture of the Devon coast, to rest eyes and mind for a moment.

Trump has clearly not spoken to a single Palestinian about this plan. Gaza is our land. Palestine is our home. Peace cannot come at the cost of our country.

I urge the UK and the whole international community to resist him.

Recognise Palestine now, before it's too late.
