Donald Trump is gunning for the BBC, and Farage is cheering him on. Want to know why? Follow the money…

Partners for progress? A Lib Dem approach to foreign policy - UK in a changing Europe Calum Miller MP reflects on UK foreign policy challenges and outlines the Liberal Democrat's approach to facing them.

"Amid all of this, the UK has been too often absent... Under govt.s focused on party management not the national interest, we have lost our way in the world."

Along with everyone else, I am shocked by the horrendous dumping of tonnes of illegal waste by criminals that now threatens to pollute the River Cherwell.

⏰ Time is ticking. Please sign this petition to let the Government and Environment Agency know they need to act now and clean it up.

Trump's plan for Gaza backed by UN Security Council Included in the 20-point peace plan is the establishment of an International Stabilisation Force (ISF), which would work to demilitarise the territory.

I hope the UNSC's resolution will reinforce the fragile ceasefire in Gaza - but it does not go far enough. It has no clear plan to disarm Hamas, ensure accountability nor to roll-back illegal Israeli settlements. We need a clear roadmap to a two-state solution.

The contaminated waste piled high in a field near Kidlington is now washing into River Cherwell. In the last 48 hours, the water level has risen 4+ feet and is lapping against the illegal dump.

We stand on the edge of an environmental disaster. We need urgent action from the Environment Agency.

It was a real pleasure. Great to meet you all and see the difference you and your councillors are making to residents in West Northamptonshire.

Keir Starmer must hold firm and back the BBC. Important to note this is another example of Trump seeking personal gain from public office. His Presidency is characterised by blurring the two. We must heed the warning and take steps to stop the same happening here.

Thank you, John, for pressing for stronger legislation to deal with these serious crimes. The committee report was powerful and incisive; glad you are taking forward action from it.

The huge pile of illegally dumped waste by the A34 in Kidlington is utterly shocking.

Yesterday a Govt Minister agreed to meet me, I will ask her to step in to remove this terrifying environmental risk.

I’ve also raised this as an urgent matter with the Chief Exec of the Environment Agency.

British couple held in Iran are on hunger strike, son says The couple are losing hope and feel let down by the UK government, Joe Bennett says.

Iran’s cowardly and extortionate regime will take any opportunity to level trumped up charges against Brits.

The Foreign Secretary must summon the Iranian ambassador and make clear the UK sanction those responsible unless the Foremans are released immediately.

Today I was honoured to take part in Woodstock’s Remembrance Day ceremony.

📢I'm hiring. 📝🎥🤳Great opportunity for someone with comms, social media or events experience who would like to join my team and promote the campaigns we are running to help the community in Bicester & Woodstock. More details below. Please share!

Pleased to successfully vote against Nigel Farage’s Bill to pull Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The ECHR reflects British values of fairness and decency - not something to be discarded for political headlines.

Israel launches strikes on Gaza, reports say, after Netanyahu orders 'powerful' attacks - live updates Israel and Hamas accuse each other of violating the ceasefire, with Israel's defence minister alleging Hamas attacked IDF soldiers in Gaza.

In the midst of devastation and death, communities cling to the ceasefire.
This is a time for cool heads and strong words. UK Ministers must exert all influence possible on the US to restrain Netanyahu and uphold a process that, while imperfect, is a start to peace.

City boundaries to be expanded in crackdown on nimby councils Surrey at forefront of biggest overhaul in local government for half a century to reform services and hit planning, housing and transport targets

Labour seems to be working hand in glove with Oxford City Council to force a “Greater Oxford” on residents.

People want one fair, county-wide unitary, not to be swallowed by the city.

Local government reform should be with communities, not done to them.

Reform UK MP says seeing adverts 'full of Black people' drives her 'mad' Sarah Pochin was responding to a question about whether her party will do anything about the 'representation of demographics in TV adverts', and claimed white people were 'demonised'

We are a diverse nation. People of different colours and backgrounds are proud to be British and contribute hugely to our communities. This casual racism from Reform UK discriminates and drives division. As liberals, we will stand up to it.

The way the Conservatives implemented Brexit has done great damage to our economy - costing manufacturers and farmers dearly in red tape and lost exports while denying a whole generation of young Brits the chance to work, study and live in the EU.

15 months in, Labour need to step up and fix this.

Victims of domestic abuse deserve real protection, not promises.

The Government must ensure it properly funds probation services and electronic tagging to keep survivors safe after perpetrators are released.

The best thing about my job is meeting more people from across our area. This Saturday I will be at Kidlington Library 11.30-13.00.

This is a drop-in, so there is no need to book, just come along to say hello or if there's something you'd like my help with my team and I will do our best.

Shubh Diwali! 🪔

Wishing Hindus, Sikhs and Jains in Bicester and Woodstock, and around the world the happiest of celebrations today, filled with hope for a bright future.

We cannot allow Gaza's fragile ceasefire to falter. All sides must fulfil their obligations. The Hamas terrorists must immediately retrieve and release all hostage bodies. The Israeli Government must allow the immediate and unimpeded flow of long-overdue aid into Gaza.

Joint E3 leaders statement: 10 October 2025 The leaders of France, Germany and the United Kingdom spoke today following the significant developments in the Middle East.

It’s good to see the PM finally listening to Liberal Democrat calls to seize the billions in frozen Russian assets tied up here in the UK to help arm Ukraine.

This must now happen rapidly. With our European allies we must use these assets to strengthen Ukraine’s hand and ramp up pressure on Putin.

Women’s rights are under attack worldwide, from authoritarian regimes, online misogyny, and cuts to aid.

@CalumMillerLD.bsky.social explains the Lib Dem plan to tackle this violence and empower women globally.

Three big Lib Dem wins in this week's by-elections.

Last night in Mel Stride's Devon constituency, Liberal Democrats GAINED a seat from the Conservatives - the Conservatives dropped to just 10% of the vote.

And two great wins by our teams in Bath and Hampshire.

We welcome the prospect of a ceasefire. The people of Gaza and the hostages and their families have suffered far too much already.

The UK must now redouble efforts to ensure Gaza is flooded with aid and that pressure is maintained for a just peace based on the conditions for a two-state solution.

News of a ceasefire deal in Gaza brings real hope.

The UK and our allies must do all we can to get the hostages home, get aid in to starving people, and finally end this horrific violence.

This must be the first step towards a two-state solution and a lasting peace.

I thank Aviva and Keith Siegel for coming to Parliament to share their experiences of being held and tortured for 51 and 484 days respectively.

These former hostages and hostage families continue to campaign tirelessly for the release of those who are still held. Today, I stand with them. 🎗️ 3/3

I thank @adammaanit.bsky.social and Sharone Lifschitz for meeting me in 2024 to share their hopes for the release of Adam’s cousin, Tsachi Idan, and Sharone’s dad, Oded Lifschitz. When we met, Tsachi and Oded had already been murdered but Adam and Sharone did not learn that until February 2025. 2/3

Today, I am remembering 7 October 2023 and thinking of all those whose lives have been changed forever by the events of that day. Today, more than ever, I am praying for a ceasefire, for the return of the hostages and for aid to flood into Gaza. 1/3

Peacehaven: Police release photos of mosque arson suspects The images are of two people in balaclavas seen outside the mosque before the large blaze spread.

Appalled by this attack on a place of worship. Members of the Muslim community must be free to worship and live without the fear of Islamophobic violence and intimidation. I stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity with British Muslims and against this hate. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
