Following in the footsteps of the much missed Charles Kennedy.

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

Voice wasn't at its best last night but had shed loads of fun leading the Welsh inspired singalong at Gladstone Village Hall in Burton, Cheshire.
Hall looked amazing too.

Good to see that a Parish Council is looking nearer for Willaston.
Hopefully Burton will look at considering this.

Still stand with Ukraine. Let us not forget them.

Heard the brilliant news that our PCSOs Wendy and Matt will not be made redundant. They are also to stay at their current Base location, so will cover our area, although their patch size will increase.

Nice to briefly meet up and help out Liverpool Lib Dems with their upcoming by-election in Aigburth today.

So @tranmererovers.bsky.social can go 2 nil up and not give away the match. Good to see them back to winning ways.

OMG, it was Ruairi Donovan #TheArchers

Interesting afternoon going through this year's test piece with Mark Wilkinson of Fodens.

Labour promised change, instead we're seeing the same old chaos as under the Conservative Party.

No wonder the public are so fed up.

The PM should hold a confidence vote now so the government can focus on fixing the cost-of-living crisis, the NHS and the economy.

So I have been quiet on here recently as I focused on the Willaston and Thornton ward by-election. Really enjoyed the engagement with voters and pleased to get an increase in the Liberal Democrat vote.

First carolling job of the season. It gets earlier every year. Nice to be in one of my "happy places."

Plaque in honour of Durham pioneering gay councillor Sam Green is believed to be the first openly gay politician to be elected in the UK.

MoJ to remove right to trial by jury for thousands of cases in controversial overhaul Exclusive: Courts minister says change needed to stop criminals opting for juries to delay cases, sometimes by years, and clear huge backlog

Saying defendants are "gaming the system" is absurd.

Courts have been underfunded for years. That's the problem & now they come for your rights instead of solving it. Same old Labour reverting to authoritarianism when the going gets tough.

Shameful nonsense.

Rain so bad tonight even the dog wouldn't step out in it.

Congratulations to the happy couple.

Had a good meeting with our local PCSO today. I'm hoping to finalise a date for a police surgery in my village in December very soon.

Vulnerable people at risk of going missing People who are at risk of going missing, including people with dementia, people with mental health issues and vulnerable children and adults.

Dutch centrist Rob Jetten claims victory over Wilders in neck-and-neck election race Jetten said his D66 liberal party had achieved a historic result after vote analysis indicated it could be beaten.

Good to see D66 Liberal Party win in the Netherlands. Populism can be defeated.
