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.

It is common sense that refugees who have lived in Britain for a long time, and built lives here, should be able to stay.

Labour, cowering from Reform, are planning to break that principle.

A Putin and Trump fan boy surrounded by patriots.

All respect to @victoria-collins.bsky.social and @lisasmartmp.bsky.social for keeping straight faces while Farage spewed his usual reheated nonsense.

If I’d been there, I’d have rolled my eyes so hard the Whips’ Office would’ve called it a rebellion.

Screenshot of Tweet from Their Party MP Zarah Sultana writing: NATO isn't about "peace" or "security". It's an imperialist war machine. Just look at Afghanistan and Libya. Arms dealers profit while our NHS collapses, public services crumble and millions of children grow up in poverty. We must withdraw from NATO immediately. People don't need forever wars. They need material improvements to their lives. Wages, not weapons. Welfare, not warfare.

Yes, because nothing says ‘peace’ like abandoning our allies to Putin and hoping good vibes stop tanks.

Global problems need global friends — not isolation dressed up as idealism. #StrongerTogether

GB News losing their mind over the fact we @libdems.org.uk just defeated Farage and Reform

When you’ve protected British people’s rights from the authoritarian regime Nigel Farage craves.

Ed Davey really on the attack today. 👏 👏 👏

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.

With an ally of Nigel Farage pleading guilty to taking bribes for making pro-Russian statements, it’s clear we need an in-depth investigation into Russian money in our politics.

Today I asked the Prime Minister whether he would back an investigation.

Very grateful to have been included in Mark's list!

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.

Nick and I were on Federal Board together when I was the Young Liberals representative to the Board. I'm delighted to have his support for my campaign!

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

The BBC must balance their political news so it doesn’t boost Nigel Farage’s dangerous, divisive politics.

Balance the BBC The BBC is our national broadcaster, people expect and deserve balanced news coverage.
