It was a tight race for Bucks Unitary coming within a few 100 votes of taking the seat. However I am very pleased that my fellow candidate Matthew Hinds did take the 3rd seat and wish him the best of luck representing the people in The Missendens! You will be a fantastic Cllr.

Chalk streams like the Chess and rivers across the country have been polluted for years. We need a regulator that’s up to the job, that’s why we’d scrap Ofwat and create a Clean Water Authority.

In Chesham with @sarahgreenld.bsky.social we met amazing volunteers restoring the chalk stream.

LGBT+ LIB DEMS STATEMENT
On the Supreme Court ruling, 16/04/25

Like many, we are disappointed and deeply concerned by today’s Supreme Court judgement, which marks a significant and troubling shift away from decades of settled legal precedent.
By redefining sex in law as β€œbiological” β€” a term with no clear legal or scientific consensus, and one that does not reflect the lived realities of many people, the ruling introduces confusion and instability into our legal system, which has treated β€œsex” and β€œgender” as interchangeable for decades.
We are concerned that this creates an unsatisfactory ambiguity around how people with various endocrine and intersex conditions should be treated, how Gender Recognition Certificates can be obtained and given their intended force in law, and many other areas.
This ruling undermines established protections for trans+ people.  Attempts to define sex biologically risk rolling back hard-won rights for all women, not just trans+ women, which is why Liberal Democrats oppose them.
However, nothing in this judgement means that trans+ women can or should be regularly excluded from women's services and spaces.  The law still says that trans+ people should not be excluded without a proportionate and legitimate reason.

As LGBT+ Liberal Democrats, we will not stand by in silence.  We don't think Britain is the sort of country where people should have to show their 'papers, please' in order to use the loo.
The fight for trans+ equality continues, and we will never stop standing up for our trans+, non-binary and gender non-conforming communities, and all communities under our wonderfully diverse LGBTQ+ umbrella.
We are proud to be in the most progressive party across Great Britain for LGBT+ rights.  Lib Dems seek to uplift individuals and their communities, and help them to be the best they can be, free to be who they are.
We believe people when they show us who they are.  We celebrate diversity, and do not support efforts to legislate in ignorance to enforce conformity.  We remain steadfast in our commitment to dignity, safety and justice for all.
Ever yours,
The Executive Committee
LGBT+ Liberal Democrats

NEW: Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe reported to police by party over alleged threats of physical violence against party chair Zia Yusaf - and has also been accused of bullying staff.

He denies claims, which come just 24 hours after he called Nigel Farage the β€œmessianic” leader of a protest party.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.

They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.
