Meet 'Avanti Andy' — Britain's new flying PM, Rishi Sunak edition 2.0. Taxpayer funded private jet from 'Northern No.10' to London & Glasgow burned through £30k of taxpayer cash and ~30 tonnes of CO2 in two days. That's four years of an average person's carbon footprint — gone in a weekend.
One more match, one more reason to cheer them on! Backing our England squad all the way. ⚽
I have flagged a dead wild bird along Snodhurst via the relevant Gov.uk website. It's been lying there for several days now — hoping for a swift clean-up from the local authorities.
"Fix our broken political system now — before it's too late," that's our call to Andy Burnham. As the diaspora from #HongKong, we've seen a democracy dismantled by design, not bad politics. Britain's fragmenting under FPTP. The fix is #ProportionalRepresentation — fix bad politics now! 🧵see below
When asked about nationality, I've never second thought filling in as 'British' - clearly wasn't it a British passport? So when Jennifer and I moved to the UK almost 10 years ago, somehow I missed some formalities. Kind of like Windrush generation from another era. That's going to be fixed tomorrow🙂
🟥 "Disengaging from China? Cancel culture." — that's Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper's own words, used to wave off critics of the UK's warming ties with China. Calling out #transnationalrepression isn't "cancel culture." It's basic due diligence — due diligence shouldn't need defending. #UKChina
When one seaside town can dominate the national conversation, our voting system is clearly broken. It’s time for STV: fair votes, multi-member constituencies, and proper representation. #fairvotes #ProportionalRepresentation
Farage resigned his seat this week to dodge questions about his donors. An ex-party leader jailed for foreign interference — taking Russian bribes for pro-Kremlin statements. Millions more in donations tied to Hong Kong, routed through loopholes in UK election law. Some "anti-establishment" party.
Nigel Farage claims to know what it is like to live under communism. But the politics he is pushing is not freedom — it is permanent grievance, personality-cult politics, and a “people versus establishment” stunt straight from the Mao Zedong playbook.
Man now standing on a podium pretending to be a leader with 8 MPs and a 💩load of undeclared gifts. Who wouldn't have thought of this image 👇 "I am not a crook"

War bonds to support the increase in military spending is the much needed bold plan for national security.
The Government have dangerously short-changed our Armed Forces when they need urgent investment after years of Conservative negligence. It's time to go much further and take up Liberal Democrat plans for defence bonds to give our Armed Forces the investment they need.
🌞Sunny weekend with my team at Fort Horsted, Chatham hearing from residents. Local voices across Chatham deserve nothing less.
Could Andy Burnham bring the promised change me & my neighbours want? Integrate NHS & social care - tackling it by positive round-table actions, and throw away the Starmer's playbook that's neither consultative nor concrete.
My birthday wish? A real move to integrate NHS and Social Care — it's long overdue for single-parent families and young unpaid carers who give so much and receive so little in return. Two years on, Labour still hasn't acted. It's time to set up the round-table.
Data cables, North Sea energy, and Channel shipping — all of it depends on a Royal Navy that's properly resourced. A stronger UK-EU defence partnership will deliver the new frigates we need to protect it.

The Liberal Democrats' Essential Energy Guarantee 🔶Everyone should have access to an Energy Social Tariff 🔋Your typical energy supplied at a guaranteed lower rate 👪 🔋Fully costed — paid for by energy giants, not families
Join 🕯️vigils tonight Chinese dissidents in the UK are still fighting everyday against authoritarianism. In light of the many transnational repression conducted by the authoritarian regime in Beijing, UK legislators must double down their efforts in protecting these campaigners. #June4 Tiananmen
I'm sorting out my house's energy since 9am. Believe me, I've easier time trading oil futures. And that's when I've solar panels & batteries to hedge against prices. What are families who rent or live in apartments going through if we don't simplify our home energy tariffs?

I've written to Southern Water on emergency measures should Medway's water supply be affected. It's about ensuring Medway residents don't get caught up like the chaos from South East Water.
Demanding Resilience in Medway's water supply We wrote to the CEO of Southern Water to better understand the measures Southern Water is taking to ensure resilience, preparedness, and protection of customers in the event of future service disruptions. A fair deal on clean water 🔶
