The Prime Minister must urgently pick up the phone to President Trump and press him to make Netanyahu abandon this plan.

07.08.2025 12:13 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The Guardian opinion headline reads: βBrexit has been a resounding disaster. Starmer must find the courage to change courseβ by Ed Davey.
Brexit isnβt working, and the British people know it. They're fed up with the damage caused by the deal forced on us by Conservative party.
Keir Starmer must show some courage and set Britain on a clear path to a new customs union with the EU by 2030.
Videos of emaciated hostages are a horrifying reminder of the evil of Hamas and the plight of those still held captive after so long. No family should have to see their loved ones like that.
The UK must continue to press for the immediate, unconditional release of all hostages.
Southern Water have failed to invest in repairing leaks and now, at the same time as theyβre increasing bills by hundreds of pounds, they have decided to reward their boss, with a Β£1.4million pay deal. Why is the board of Southern Water rewarding this failure?

Hamas do not represent the Palestinian people and have no future in Gaza with a two-state solution.
Along with @libdems.org.uk MP Colleagues I have written to the Secretary of State and Minister to raise continuing concerns about Southern Water and the massive pay increase given to the water companyβs CEO.

- immediately recognise a state of Palestine
- pressure Israel to fully reopen aid routes into Gaza
- push to secure the release of all remaining hostages.
(summary of statement from Ed Davey on Southport tragedy) Ed Davey says we hold in our hearts Bebe, Elsie and Aliceβthree little girls, horrifyingly murdered. He says our thoughts are with their families and friends, who still grieve such a cruel loss. He condemns the appalling racism and violence egged on by hate preachers and conspiracy theorists, and honours everyone who came together with love and compassion, and who stood peacefully in solidarity, rejecting racism and Islamophobia.
Today we hold in our hearts Bebe, Elsie and Alice, three little girls so cruelly murdered in a heartbreaking tragedy.
As we grieve today, let us also remember that we are a caring country, defined by compassion, decency and respect for the rule of law.
A few constituents have contacted me about the decision to remove the CCTV Cameras in Eastleigh town centre. Iβm in contact with the local police and council and hopeful that a solution can be found. Meanwhile Iβm continuing to call for a new police station for Eastleigh.

25.07.2025 20:37 β π 33 π 6 π¬ 1 π 1The Prime Minister must act with immediate airdrops of much-needed aid into Gaza and get other countries to do the same.
It is simply inhumane that Gaza faces starvation due to Israelβs aid blockade. Words alone wonβt save lives.
Mass starvation in Gaza and over 1,000 Palestinians killed while seeking aid since May. The government says the situation is intolerable yet they continue to tolerate it.
The UK needs to stop all arms exports to the Israeli Government - today.
David Lammy must realise that weβre past the point of threatening sanctions.
Every day the Government sits on its hands, more innocent civilians are being killed in Gaza while over a million are at risk of starvation.
Sanctions are needed now, including against Netanyahu.
Starvation is a horrific reality for children and families in Gaza. Aid at scale must be allowed in urgently.
This is a man-made disaster.
Enough is enough. The United Nations must be allowed to deliver aid of all types at scale to families in Gaza, wherever they are.
I raised the issues with Southern Waterβs performance and Ofwat at PMQs in April so pleased the Government is finally taking some action.
