Proud of my Lords colleagues and especially SalBrinton for pushing this.

Imagine a general election campaign where a political party can interview itself on TV every day. It’s coming soon courtesy of Ofcom. My blog at profpurvis.com #Ofcom #GBNews

I have written to the Foreign Secretary imploring him to restore funding for UNRWA.

It is vital that the UK helps to facilitate as much aid as possible getting into Gaza. By not restoring funding, we are worsening the suffering.

We must act immediately.

Shocking.

After the Lib Dems pushed this to a vote in Parliament today, both Conservative and Labour MPs backed plans to weaken Ofwat.

This will help get water firms off the hook.

So, Nigel Farage - one of the founders & owners of Reform UK - can present an “impartial” programme on a TV “news” channel during the general election according to the broadcasting regulator @ofcom. The leader of the party Richard Tice 🇬🇧 & its only MP Lee Anderson MP can…

It cannot be right that victims of rape and serious sexual assault can be charged thousands of pounds to access the transcripts of their abuser's trial.

We call again for the Justice Secretary to listen and act. Sarah Olney, SalBrinton and others will not give up this fight

Very disappointing that 187 Tory peers this afternoon stopped proposals from Sarah Olney and SalBrinton which would have given victims access to transcripts of sentencing remarks and judges' summaries free of charge.

This is an insult to victims.

👏 Yesterday, for the second night in a row, the Govt have lost the vote on the immoral, costly and unworkable Rwanda Bill.

The British public have endured months of Conservative chaos, all for a policy that does nothing to tackle sky high asylum backlogs.

10,000 waited over 24 hours in Shropshire A&E last year. When will the Conservatives address this NHS crisis?

After silence and qualified denials, it has been revealed that Mr Jupp’s campaign manager was responsible for the dishonest campaign tactics. This is a new low for the Conservative Party. We deserve better.

Liberal Democrats have been long urging the Government to negotiate a reciprocal youth mobility scheme with Europe.

Of course the details would need to be negotiated, but no sensible UK government would reject this idea out of hand.

Recently, I visited Israel and Palestine to hear directly from people affected by the conflict.

Liberal Democrats will continue to call for an immediate, bilateral ceasefire - to put an end to the appalling human suffering in Gaza, and get hostages home to their families.
