Broken Roads. Broken Promises. Crumbling roads and pavements make life miserable for Bucks residents. With Β£500m needed to fix them, the Tory-led council's underinvestment and reliance on temporary quick fixes have let the situatio...

Ahead of the local elections on May 1st, Buckinghamshire Conservatives claim they'll prioritise fixing our roads - but their decades long record of failure tells a very different story. www.midandnorthbuckslibdems.uk/news/article...

Headline from the Independent. Farmers furious as Farage admits he would allow chlorine-washed chicken to be sold in the UK as part of Trump trade deal

Headline from the Independent. Farmers furious as Farage admits he would allow chlorine-washed chicken to be sold in the UK as part of Trump trade deal

Farage wants you to eat chlorinated chicken just so he can keep licking the boots of his idol Donald Trump.

It's so pathetic and unpatriotic.

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.

No one can run a business or service not knowing how much they will be paid.

At the Spring Statement I challenged the Chancellor on when pharmacies will have their NHS contracts confirmed for both the current and new financial year.

Labour need to get a grip of this chaos and back our pharmacies.

It's absolutely shocking that Thames Water pumped almost 300,000 hours of raw sewage in 2024.

The Government must scrap Ofwat and put Thames Water into special administration.

My constituents in Epsom & Ewell deserve so much better. πŸ‘‡

Sewage spilled into England's rivers and seas for 3.6m hours last year.

This must be the final nail in the coffin for Ofwat, a regulator that's proven time and again it cannot protect customers and our beautiful environment.

The Government must protect British rivers and seas from disgusting sewage. It’s time for Ofwat to go.

Our precious liberal values are the only antidote to the growth of destructive nationalism."

No single party leader is now trusted on the economy, Opinium found. However, Starmer (-32%) and Reeves (-38%) are the most distrusted, with the Reform leader, Nigel Farage, the Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch, and shadow chancellor, Mel Stride, all rated similarly on -22%, -23% and -24% respectively.

Great to be out in my ward, Quainton Ward knocking on doors in North Marston. At the Buckinghamshire local elections the choice is clear.
4 more years of Tory decline or a Lib Dem council that works for Bucks residence. πŸ”Ά

Kemi Badenoch says a Liberal Democrat is β€˜somebody who is good at fixing their church roof. And people in the community like them.’

"I think she meant it as an insult! But I’ll happily wear it as a badge of honour. Because she’s right: Liberal Democrats fix things." @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Ofwat and the government ignore the crisis as Thames Water amasses costly debt while polluting British waters.

If they keep delaying action, customers will pay the price.
