We’ve repeatedly said we should raise revenue in a fairer wayβ€”by going after companies making billions in profits, who can afford to pay a bit more to help restore our public services.

At the same time, we need to grow the economy and negotiate our EU trade deal.

"People wanted change from this government and what we've seen is a continuation of the mistakes that were made previously."

The #LibDems have a clear plan to fix #Oxfordshire’s roads, with a record Β£59 million budgeted to tackle years of neglect under Conservative rule.

It’s such a strong plan that the Conservatives couldn’t even bring themselves to oppose it in a recent council meeting.

It was wonderful to welcome #LibDem MP for Bicester & Woodstock @calummillerld.bsky.social to Hanwell to meet villagers today!

Calum is a well-respected county councillor and was elected as MP in July last year and is already making a real difference!

This isn’t just bad politics; it’s a betrayal of our values and a dangerous signal to the world. Where is his backbone?

At a time when democracy is under threat, we need a leader who stands firmβ€”not one who kneels to those who side with dictators and enemies of freedom. Britain deserves better.

It’s not just embarrassingβ€”it’s downright alarming. Our #PrimeMinister, Sir Keir #Starmer, is bowing to Donald #Trump, a man who shamelessly spreads lies, calls #Ukraine’s president a dictator, and aligns himself with #Russia and #NorthKorea.

For three years, the brave Ukrainian people have heroically defended their country against Putin’s war machine.

Now, more than ever, we must stand firmly in support of our Ukrainian friends, resist Trump's stitch up with Putin and work with our European neighbours to defend freedom and democracy.

A fantastic evening at Wroxton Abbey tonight launching my #LibDem campaign with this amazing group of supporters here in the Cropredy & Hook Norton Division. πŸ’›

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and to Fairleigh Dickinson University Wroxton College for being such wonderful hosts.

Great news! The Liberal Democrat-led πŸ”Ά budget passed by OCC today means more investment in fixing our roads, improving public transport, tackling flooding, and boosting public services.

The Conservatives... well they voted against itβ€”pushing for cuts instead - they love creating potholes! πŸ₯΄

Today, I had the pleasure of representing #Cotswolds Plus at the digital conference hosted by the River Severn Partnership in Tewkesbury. The event was hosted by the Cotswolds' very own Adam Henson and featured speakers from across the wider region, exploring advances in technology for tourism.

Discrimination has not ended, nor has the use of the language of hatred or exclusion. There is still much to do to create a safer future for everyone.

Tomorrow is Holocaust Memorial Day - a time when we seek to learn the lessons of the past and recognise that genocide does not just take place on its own – it’s a steady process which can begin if discrimination, racism, homophobia and hatred are not checked and prevented.

Being elected to the county council is the next step in making this happen.

I’ve lived here for 10 years, gaining a deep understanding of the concerns that matter to local residents. We all know how special our area is, and I’m committed to continuing my work to make it an even better place to live.

Being elected as the first Lib Dem in our area was a truly proud moment for me. It’s been an honour to get to work on addressing the many issues residents face, issues that have been left behind by the Conservative’s long and damaging legacy.

Having a dedicated, local councillor who truly represents the people and is committed to doing what’s right is vital for our community

That’s why I’ve decided to take the next step and run for county councillor in the new Cropredy & Hook Norton Divisionβ€”so I can achieve even more for you

Since you elected me as your district councillor last May, I’ve spent a lot of time speaking with local residents, listening to your thoughts, concerns, and aspirations for our area.

"Forming a Customs Union with the EU is the biggest thing we can do to turbocharge our economy long-term."

"But an agreement to work towards one would unlock big economic benefits for the UK now and start tearing down those damaging Conservative trade barriers this year."
