We need to know how the Government plans to deal with Iran - and with Donald Trump’s plans for Iran. @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social
and I have written to the Defence and Foreign Secretaries today asking them to hold Iran’s leaders to account and to tell Parliament their plans.
How dare the Coward in the White House undermine the bravery and sacrifice of our British troops.
Reform and Nigel Farage should be ashamed to associate themselves with him.
Trump is acting like an international gangster.
The Prime Minister has tried appeasing him for 12 months and has failed. It's time we finally stood up to him and united with our European allies to make him back down.
So we’re now finding the “permanently lower business rates” promised by the government actually mean much higher business rates, up 27% for next year for one High Street business in Taunton & Wellington #SavetheHighStreet

Brexit has cost each and every one of us £3,700 a year.
But instead of solving the problem, Labour are using Brexit as an excuse to raise your taxes.
My message ahead of the Budget: Stop blaming Brexit and start fixing it!
Donald Trump is gunning for the BBC, and Farage is cheering him on. Want to know why? Follow the money…

Councillors no longer to be allowed to decide applications for 150 homes+ This is infantilising of elected representatives and spells the end of meaningful local planning…

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.
We just stopped Nigel Farage’s plan to drag Britain out of the ECHR and tear up people’s rights. Farage wanted to scrap Churchill’s legacy and bring us closer to Trump's America.

The Tories can shout at me all they like, but the truth is their Brexit deal it is hurting our country and Labour won’t do anything about it.
Today I urged the Prime Minister to actually fix it.
We need the massive boost to trade that a new Customs Union with the EU would deliver - everyone knows that would do wonders for growth and our economy - well said Ed!

People across the UK deserve to live in decent, affordable, and stable homes. 🧱
That's why it's encouraging to see developments like Somerset Council's Rainbow Way Project in Minehead and Mid Devon District Council's St George's Court in Tiverton, both focused on supporting local people.✅
Caring shaped my life. It should shape our politics too.

Our plans for more Premier League games to be free-to-air were blocked once – but as all football fans know, the new season brings a fresh chance for victory.
That’s why we’ll be bringing back a proposal to Parliament.
The government has missed an open goal once - surely they won’t do it again.

This record of failure shows water regulation in our country is broken.
Water companies are getting away with polluting our rivers on an industrial scale and face little more than a slap on the wrist.
Ed Davey is listening to us on this issue. I’m sure the other parties will bring it up too. But it’s not just the BBC. All the broadcasters are over platforming Reform. Our petition is now close to 5k. Sign and pass on. We must hear ALL our parties much more petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

It’s about time the Government came to its senses. We @libdems.org.uk have been demanding Ofwat be scrapped since 2022.
We need a tough, effective regulator that finally puts the people of Epsom & Ewell + our waterways first, not Thames Water executives + their profits.

Ed is right to ask the PM about Special Educational Needs & Disability today, local children desperately need more help and support

The BBC are constantly bending over backwards to please Reform.
I fear they're becoming a mouthpiece for Nigel Farage, a guy who wants to destroy them.
A photo of Ed Davey hanging out with a disabled child. The graphic says: A new national body to end SEND funding postcode lottery.
The SEND system urgently needs fixing, but Ministers mustn't use that as an excuse to balance the books on the backs of disabled children.
The government cannot continue to ignore the voices of SEND children and their families.
We urgently need a new National Body for SEND.

Iran’s nuclear ambitions pose a grave threat to regional stability and global security. That threat can only truly be eliminated through robust diplomacy.
Following the US strikes, it is essential that we work to deescalate the conflict and achieve that diplomatic solution.
The UK needs to take bolder action on Israel/Gaza - recognition for Palestine is key:

So delighted that all 72 LibDem MPs signed this letter to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social asking the govt to back the ME/CFS Delivery Plan with the resources it deserves. May this be a huge encouragement to the ME community and the start of meaningful change. #WorldMEDay

This would be good. Maybe Government can accept the amendment from @gideonamos.bsky.social to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill that would do this?
