🎉 𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗶𝘁! 🗳️🔶 I’m so grateful to Liberal Democrat members for electing me to serve as our next Party President, with almost 70% of the vote. Thank you to everyone who voted for me, who made phone calls, hosted my visits, made a donation, distributed my leaflets and

I think our party is about to have some very good times. Congratulations Josh!!!

Music and song in the liturgical setting are a form of prayer, which draw us into the beauty that lifts us up to God and unites our hearts in praise. May #SaintCecilia, patroness of music and musicians, whose memorial we celebrate today, sustain the mission of choirs and choral

BRITAIN'S CHANCE TO FIX NUCLEAR POWER Today the Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce set out its 47 recommendations for how Britain can once again be a world leader in nuclear power. Britain split the atom, built the world’s first commercial nuclear power and for years was powered by

Editing out legitimate criticism of powerful figures undermines the Reith Lectures’ purpose. The BBC should broadcast Bregman’s lecture unedited and explain why this decision was taken. Liberal Democrats

John Fingleton’s review for the government of how to reduce unnecessary barriers and costs for nuclear power development is a tour de force, a compelling road map for how to accelerate important infrastructure investment in the UK - which is the sine qua non of improving growth

Seems deeply out of character for this government to prevaricate on an issue of national importance, critical to economic growth, simply on the basis of niche legal advice that doing so may clash with international law.

Young and overtaxed? You deserve better than Labour #AutumnBudget

Chancellor promised to respond to John Fingleton Nuclear Review at the Budget. Instead she's bottled it. NO commitments at all. Nothing! High energy costs are CRUSHING British industry and living standards. It is URGENT that ALL recommendations MUST be implemented ASAP.

REMEMBER: It's only a council tax if the revenue can be found in the region of a council’s MTFS. What's happening in Westminster right now is a sparkling tax grab.

Could have achieved a similar end by doing the unthinkable (a council tax banding review) but then the money would go to councils, and they might spend the money clearing their £000m avg. social care debt and not on important national priorities like fish discos.

Freezing student loan repayment thresholds is yet another hit on young people. When house prices are sky high, childcare costs soaring, & income tax thresholds are frozen too, this is more than a double whammy. We need a serious urgent convo about intergenerational inequality.

This social worker makes the best case I’ve heard for scrapping the two-child benefit cap to Kemi Badenoch, one of the last people in the country who wants to keep it🔥 I’m proud that Liberal Democrats consistently campaigned to abolish the cap, even when the Government refused to budge.

Lots of people are leaving, well done.

Well, come clean on what you plan to do with special needs and school budgets Bridget Phillipson. Parents, pupils and teachers - not just the Labour Parliamentary Party - deserve some clear answers.

That government is mostly yours.

Feel like I'm going mad. The Budget's 'headroom' is based on frankly irresponsible and wildly optimistic claims about what Labour will do in the final year of the forecast, and on ignoring a bunch of upward pressures on spending, and the claim is that she was being exaggeratedly

We must fight for a fair society. Scraping jury trials will only lead to more unfair prejudice and concentration of power away from the people, to the state. Join us today to take a stance

I'm so happy to have been elected to FPC. Thanks so much to everyone who supported me.
