Last night, Liberal Democrats voted against cutting winter fuel payments. It's wrong to make pensioners pay for the mess left by the Conservatives. The government should reverse the Conservatives' £4 billion tax cuts for big banks and support struggling pensioners this winter.

WASPI women lost out in changes to the state pension. They’ve won their court case and the new Govt needs to rectify this inequality, not just ignore them now they’ve won the General Election. Solent WASPI

Last year I set up a cross party group to listen to the views of local residents with disabilities on transport issues. Many problems for people accessing wheelchair accessible taxis. Good to meet the group again and introduce the new Transport Cabinet Member, Peter Candlish.

Great evening with @PortsmouthLD colleagues, reflecting on the best Lib Dem General Election result in over a century. Our country needs us more than ever.

The sewer at Pembroke Park has burst again. The road is closed and there was raw sewage flowing down the road. Years of underinvestment by the privatised Southern Water with money going to shareholders & Directors instead of services sees local people inconvenienced again.

Before the election women who lost out on state pensions were promised compensation by Labour. Now the Labour Govt has said no compensation. Shame. Another group let down by Labour. I was happy to support these women and still do, unlike our Labour MPs Solent WASPI

Great news that the cross party planning committee in Portsmouth backed the plans for the new swimming pools and GP surgery in Milton. All councillors from all parties backed the plans.

A disgrace that our Southern Water will go up by £222. The shareholders have looted companies and taken hundreds of millions in share dividends but continued to pump raw sewage into our harbours, rivers and sea. This will be tough for families to afford. Let down by Labour again

Today while at the hairdressers, the woman next to me was preparing for Christmas for her two foster children who are 5 & 9. They had never had a Christmas dinner before coming to her home. They are so excited. Loving foster carers are special people ❤️

🔥 Tens of thousands march to the center of Tbilisi, paralyzing the city with traffic jams. Protests in Georgia continue over election fraud and the government's refusal to pursue EU membership talks until 2028.

It’s been a busy Christmas so far reading at both the Cathedral and St James Milton tonight. But all tinged with sadness and tears that this is the first Christmas without John. My best wishes to everyone this Christmas Portsmouth Cathedral ☩
