Following the announcement by the Lib Dems returning officer on quotas in our federal elections I would like to make it clear I spent many hours and more emails trying to point out that this decision went against the expressed will of conference barely a month ago.

I'd also like to make it clear that I now consider attempts to question me on my Assigned Sex At Birth to be the equivalent of asking what my genitals look like and will therefore be considering them sexual harassment going forwards.

Prue Bray: I am so angry I almost can’t type We are in the middle of elections for internal roles in the Federal party, and I am one of the candidates for President. Voting opens tomorrow. So, this morning, I sat down to write a piece about why ...

Absolutely barnstorming piece on Lib Dem Voice by @pruebray.bsky.social about today's ill-advised capitulation by The Powers That Be. I'm her agent in the Party President election, so I'm sort-of biased - but then, the fact that she gets it is exactly why I agreed to be her agent in the first place.

"The Prime Minister should show some backbone, call China out for its behaviour and place it – with Russia and Iran – on the enhanced tier of FIRS (the foreign influence registration scheme)."

Today I met with President Abbas.

We discussed the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the need to end the appalling suffering of Palestinians, secure the release of the hostages still held in brutal captivity by the Hamas terrorists, and how we ensure a two-state solution.

Yesterday's Commons debate was on UK-EU relations – the issue Farage built his career on.

He now has the immense privilege of a seat in the chamber.

So where was he?

If he thinks the Brexit deal's a disaster, why not show up to say so? Utterly disrespectful to the public.
