The transition to electric vehicles is essential for cleaning up our air, improving respiratory health, and achieving our environmental targets. @pippaheylings.bsky.social, Sarah Olney MP and I wrote to the Secretary of State to ask what the Government is doing to support this transition.

This morning I spoke on LBC to talk about Andy Burnham’s £2 bus fare cap, personal tax allowance, and the early release of prisoners. 🎤

Well, Nigel Farage has done so little wrong that he decides to blow £450,000 of tax payers' money calling a by-election. What a stunt.

The World Cup is here, but late kick-offs leave fans choosing between the final whistle and the last Tube. We're calling on the Mayor of London and TfL to extend the Night Tube on England and Scotland match days. 🚇 @ollyglover.bsky.social

A decade on from the Brexit vote, local businesses have endured rising costs, and NHS waiting lists continue to prevent people from accessing GP services. Rebuilding our relationship with Europe is vital for economic growth. This starts with joining the customs union and the single market.

My thoughts are with the train driver who sadly lost his life and the many passengers who were injured in the Bedfordshire train crash on Friday. It's important that we give the investigatory and site recovery teams the time needed to examine the incident in detail.

Labour’s red lines on Europe are holding Britain back. Today I will set out our plan for a bold new deal with the EU to fix the damage done by Brexit, tackle the cost of living crisis and keep Britain safe.

"Even if I lose my own seat" Liberal Democrats will back Fair Votes - no matter the consequences for us - because its the right thing to do. #Politics #fairvotes #fixpolitics #makevotesmatter

Every single household in Britain should be able to afford their basic everyday energy needs. Our Essential Energy Guarantee would use the huge windfall profits of the big energy network operators to cut your bills. @libdemdaisy.bsky.social has the details. ⬇️

No, people do not often start talking about voting systems on the doorstep. But they DO say politics is a waste of time, all politicians are the same, whats the point in voting. If people are telling us Politics is not working - then we need to fix it!

We all need to resist attempts like this to politicise Henry Nowak’s death and divide our country - whether they come from MAGA politicians like Vance or their cronies here in the UK.

Powerful words in yesterday's NEETs report. "If a young person cannot physically get to the college, the interview, the apprenticeship or the job, nothing else the system offers matters." Urgently need to fill gaps in the transport network & make fares affordable. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Electoral reform is a key part in tackling disillusionment in the political system. I spoke with @alexsobel.co.uk, CEO of @makevotesmatter.bsky.social, and Chief Executive of @electoralreform.bsky.social on @politicshome.bsky.social about what Burnham as PM could mean for our voting system.

The Rundown by PoliticsHome: Does a Burnham PM mean PR's time has come?

As Westminster watchers try to work out what Andy Burnham’s ‘Manchesterism’ agenda might mean for the country if he wins the Makerfield by-election and becomes Prime Minister, this week host ...

🚨 OUT NOW 🚨 🗳️Could Burnham as PM bring electoral reform? @alexsobel.co.uk, @ollyglover.bsky.social, Emma Harrison, and Darren Hughes discuss: What could Burnham as PM mean for our democracy, given his strongly held and long-standing views about electoral reform? 🎧 Listen now: pod.fo/e/421e40

The shocking mismanagement of HS2 is a national embarrassment. The UK still needs long distance rail capacity, to make better use of existing lines for freight and regional trains.

📺 WATCH: Today at #PMQs @ollyglover.bsky.social asked Keir Starmer about the UK's broken voting system. "Does the Prime Minister still have full confidence in the First Past the Post system to deliver strong and stable government?" "Yes I do," responded our 6th Prime Minister in 10 years 👀

During, the King's speech debate I raised several issues that we need government to urgently address to ensure economic growth in the UK. In particular, I addressed removing barriers to local businesses by joining EU Customers Union and Single Market.

It was great to join @teammodeshift.bsky.social in Parliament to celebrate 25 years of work making everyday journeys safer, healthier and easier.🚗 They play important role in supporting schools, councils and communities to improve regular journeys.🚲

Whilst seeing friends in the north west at the weekend, great to see Northern's confidence in their rail product, via this notice at a ticket machine. If only Northern could be nationalised to sort all this out. Oh wait, they were, half a decade ago.

Horrifying news from North London. My heart goes out to the victims, their loved ones and the whole Jewish community. Hatred like this has no place in Britain. The Government must do more to keep Jewish communities safe and confront antisemitism wherever it appears.

That's why we're calling for the government to stand firm on their promise to a council and social housing revolution. Add your name to our petition now shltr.org.uk/5fWmA

Big thank you to @ollyglover.bsky.social for asking the Prime Minister about building more social homes today. We agree that the current approach is not providing enough genuinely affordable social rent homes.

Glad The Times appreciates my love for cats.🐈 Read the full article here: www.thetimes.com/article/a6a3...

Keir Starmer’s appointment of Peter Mandelson as US Ambassador has undermined the public’s trust in the Labour government. In Parliament I questioned the adequacy of the Ministerial Code in holding the Prime Minister himself to account.

'He has insulted our PM.' 'He's threatening NATO members.' 'If you reward a bully, you encourage and embolden them further.' @ollyglover.bsky.social demands that the King's state visit to see Donald Trump should be cancelled. @matthew-wright.bsky.social

Trumpflation is ballooning the cost of living. All cheered on by Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch.

This is not just a victory for the people of Hungary, but for all those around the world who believe in international cooperation, democracy and the rule of law 🇭🇺

Keir Starmer should rule out the UK joining Donald Trump's blockade, the latest escalation in his idiotic war.

This morning, I spoke on BBC Radio 5 about the ceasefire in Iran, the rise in shoplifting, and the challenges facing the hospitality industry. Alongside my Lib Dem colleagues, we are calling for a 5% cut in VAT to support hospitality businesses and help them thrive in our community.

Today, I have written to Thames Water to demand a response to the shocking statistics on sewage spills in my constituency. We must ensure that these water companies take action to address the causes and prevent spills in the future.
