Back at #LibDemConference again this morning for this important motion for #ActiveTravel.

What a treat to once more share at stage yesterday with the original fab four - Lee Child, Ken Follett & Jojo Moyes - under the guidance of Vicki Perrin for the Queen’s Reading Room Festival at glorious Chatsworth House in Derbyshire.

Dolly Parton came from so little yet she gave so generously - both with her enormous talent & just as much with her resources, always championing the forgotten or overlooked. Her legacy is not just in her incredible music but in teaching us all how to be better neighbours. She’ll be dearly missed.

Oh I do like to be beside the Clacton-on-Seaside.

There now follows a party election broadcast by the Count Binface Party, And if I do say so myself, it's a banger. #VoteBinface #Clacton

Caring has been central to my life, and the lives of millions across the country. I'll be meeting the Prime Minister today to discuss how we can finally find a solution to the care crisis. We need to do things differently. I really hope we are on a journey to fix this.

Rural communities shouldn't be at the back of the queue for decent broadband.

The Heritage Craft Fair in Thornbury was a fascinating event with lots of traditional skills on show, from lace making and wood turning to ceramics, upholstery & pipe making!

The President of the United States is a liar.

Just a reminder... www.theguardian.com/politics/art...

Farage said Andrew Tate was ‘important voice’ for men in podcast interview

Reform UK leader has also argued against diversity quotas and said people on benefits were ‘too stupid’ to work in appearances over past year

The social care crisis is a catastrophe for families, for the NHS and for local services. Liberal Democrats stand ready to work across party lines to tackle this existential crisis. For carers and for our country. Nothing matters more.

As Burnham enters Number 10, he will face many challenges. One of the biggest: the social care crisis. Elderly people left bedbound without support & families losing everything to pay care fees. It has to stop. If Burnham is serious about fixing this crisis, we @libdems.org.uk will work with him.

Clacton needs to elect Count Binface. It is really important to put Farage in his place, to say his behaviour is unacceptable.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Earlier this week I joined Adoption UK and Kinship in Parliament to hear from families about adoption and kinship support. Their experiences echoed what families in Mid Sussex have told me: support must be consistent, specialist and shaped by those who rely on it.

Huge congratulations to Josh Kerr on smashing the world mile record yesterday! An absolutely phenomenal achievement and proof of what hard work, dedication and a clear vision can deliver. Well done, Josh!

The rot at FIFA has gone too far. Under Infantino, political greed has completely broken the game we love. We can't just watch from the sidelines anymore, the FA and our European partners need to walk away and build a fair, clean alternative from scratch. It’s time to move on.

Recess starts this week but the work for North East Hampshire presses on. Over this period, I will be out speaking with constituents, working alongside local groups and getting things done for our community. 🔶

📍A memorable week in Westminster before recess. This week I: 🏥 Pushed the Health Secretary yet again to move Basingstoke Hospital up the rebuilding list. 💧 Criticised the Government's planning changes, which are leaving our infrastructure and nature vulnerable.

If millions of people live in coastal communities... ...why doesn't Government have a dedicated Minister whose job it is to fight for them every single day? 🔊 I told @lbc why I think that should change.

Our chalk streams are incredibly precious and need protecting. It was absolutely brilliant to join the newly founded Chalk Streams All Party Parliamentary Group to discuss what we can do in Parliament to protect these unique ecosystems.

@pippaheylings.bsky.social LGR.. Great speach. Cambridge and West Sussex hung out to dry. Labour politics playing with people's lives

@ollyglover.bsky.social Olly thank you for raising the West Sussex issue. I have spokent to Jess and many of my Councillors it is a terrible non decision

Britain is an island 🇬🇧 So why don't we have a Coastal Minister? Today, I've written to the incoming PM repeating my calls for one who can fight for the investment, jobs & opportunities our coastal communities deserve. It's time the coast had a voice at the heart of Government.

Why is Farage worried about his personal security? He's been given five million to pay for it.
