Yesterday, Steve Reed spoke in Parliament about #Woking Council’s debts. Apparently, the Labour Government have written off the entire £2.1 billion. News to me! I've written to him to clarify what he meant - or did he just mispeak?
Small museums, galleries and theatres are such a vital part of London’s cultural heartbeat - yet fears they are being overlooked and under supported have not gone away.

View from "our" bridge as the Jacobite steam train heads back north onto the West Highland Line for the summer. For the stats fans, two Stanier Class 5's #44871 and #45407 are on the front and a class 37 is on the rear
Wishing a very happy and peaceful Eid al-Adha to everyone celebrating. This special time of reflection, charity, and community reminds us of the values that bring us closer together. May this festival bring joy, health, and prosperity to you and your loved ones.
So what happens when Reform take over your local council? This. #KentCountyCouncil
it’s such shibboleth of modern politics to blame politicians for failing town centres when the primary driver is - surely - all of us buying more and more stuff online
Liberal Democrats GAIN West Surrey 🔶 56 Councillors 💪 34 gains

Daisy Cooper said her party would invest in services and improve transport, if it were part of a coalition controlling the county council. Cooper warned that Reform-led authorities in other parts of the country had been "consumed with scandal and chaos". #LibDems 🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
The FCA must investigate whether Farage's plans to cash in on crypto could potentially amount to market abuse and a conflict of interest. We cannot allow political leaders to treat the financial markets like a personal piggy bank to line their own pockets.
The Telegraph just gave a convicted criminal a two-page spread to explain why he's pumping £4 million into Reform UK. They tucked his criminal record away in the small print. So as a former financial crime specialist I’ll do their job for them👇

Great to be at the #LibDems’ election campaign launch with @eddavey.libdems.org.uk, brilliant to see our candidates and to thank our hard-working volunteers. Looking forward to delivering a fresh start across #Woking and West #Surrey.
GB News has turned into the Reform channel. After a New World investigation found hundreds of breaches of the rules on accuracy and impartiality, Ofcom has failed to do its job and act. We've seen what Fox News has done to politics in the US. We can't let it happen here.
Strip away Farage's insults and outrage and there's nothing there but a desperation to turn the UK into his version of Trump's America. We will talk Britain up, not down, because we know how special our country can be.
I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump. There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British families’ energy bills through the roof.
The Home Secretary is chasing Reform to get headlines while failing on the bigger problems of dangerous small boat crossings and use of hotels. This measure is a red herring that will only add more bureaucracy - which they won’t be able to cope with! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders. When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it. He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead. The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me. A pattern emerging...
Reading in the HSJ this morning that “Streeting accuses trusts and ICBs of seeking to cut deficits too sharply” is probably the closest I’ve come an apoplectic stroke in my life.
Delighted to be out campaigning with Attia Aslam and Zaf Rasab - the @libdems.org.uk’ candidates for #Woking North in May’s elections. Know they will make a great team to represent Horsell, Maybury, Sheerwater and Woodham on our new West #Surrey Council.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform. The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.
