Honoured to lay a wreath on behalf of Devon County Council at #RemembranceSunday in #Barnstaple

Fmr Environment Sec George Eustice has spoken about the post-Brexit UK/Australia trade deal in the Commons. He says now no longer a minister: "I no longer have to put such a positive gloss on what was agreed...the Australia deal is not actually a very good trade deal for the UK."

Delighted to report that I have been elected onto Federal Conference Committee! Huge thanks to everyone who voted for me and congratulations to everyone who will be sitting on the committee with me 😁

Great to see my North Devon mate @Ianbarum selected to fight the seat for the Liberal Democrats at the next election. The floods of comments coming in are a tribute to what kind of a guy Ian is, and how desperately North Devon needs him in Westminster. northdevongazette.co.uk/lib-dem-ian-ro…

Congratulations to Margaret Joachim on the MBE! Well-deserved recognition of her work for the Party - and as a champion for women in politics.

Very proud of @europesheila MBE - force of nature, indefatigable campaigner, great fun. She has led the charge numerous times for the Scottish Liberal Democrats. She rightly deserves this accolade. Congratulations to Sheila!

Congratulations to our very own Helen Belcher, who has been awarded an OBE for her services to the trans community. transactual.org.uk/press-release-…

Annual trip to Charles Kennedy’s grave in Clunes. Seven years since his death and oh my has politics changed for the worse since then … playing the lament that was played there at his funeral. Lovely tune. The cold playing slight havoc with one or two notes!

NEW: Fawcett Society has today launched an important report examining the barriers to women’s participation in politics, including online abuse. ➡️ Only 37% of women MPs agreed that 'the culture in Parliament is inclusive for people like me', compared to a majority of men (55%).

Not accepting official data is an important part of the populist armoury … it’s of a piece with “not accepting the premise of your question” (Truss) or Johnson (outright lying)

Serial rapist and abuser David Carrick dismissed from Met Police, & Met apologises to victims. Honestly, this requires a far more robust response. Root & branch reform of the Met is long overdue #MetPolice

Today is the birthday of a great liberal hero - David Lloyd George. The UK's only Welsh PM and architect of the landmark People's Budget of 1909. He was a bold and radical thinker, unafraid to challenge vested interests and fight for ordinary people. We need more people like him.

Devon County Council's cumulative SEND overspend is projected to be £127m by the end of this financial year... £17m more than it'll have left in reserves! The deficit is ringfenced but is still the "single largest financial risk" to DCC, according to next year's budget papers.

Hearing our temporary MP for #NorthDevon Selaine Saxby (Conservatives ) gave a masterclass tonight on how to lose the room attempting to defend the govt allowing South West Water to continue to release #Sewage into rivers & the sea for 15 yrs more. This practice should stop now

I'm delighted that the front desk at Honiton Police Station will be re-opening, following the re-opening in Tiverton last year. This is something I have been fighting for as we must make our local police visable and accessible across our communities. A big win for Honiton!

And I will be stepping back from watching the programme until the @bbc grows a backbone. Still, I’m sure we can count on the Free Speech Union to stand up against this hysterical act of cancellation…

"Let's get over this" - The response from a Conservative MP about sewage being dumped into chalk streams. Shocking. They just don't care.

North Devon has elected its first Muslim councillor. Liberal Democrat Syed Yusef took Barnstaple Central from the Greens. Cllr Yusef, an anti bullying campaigner, says that he hopes his victory will inspire others from similar backgrounds to get involved with local politics.
