The Lib Dems have been clear that Thames Water does not have a future. The rescue deal should be rejected, and the company should be rebuilt as a company for public benefit. Thames Water must work in the public interest and stop charging exorbitant fees for a terrible service.

Why should any Lib Dem or Green voter in Makerfield vote tactically for Burnham if all he offers is: 🗳️ No PR 🇪🇺 No change on Brexit 💸 The same broken fiscal rules 🥀 Blue Labour anti-immigration policies *Brace for Labour Gaslighting* To beat Reform, Labour needs to break with Reform-lite policies.

I was delighted to speak in the King’s speech debate last night on housing, transport and health. Residents, passengers and patients must be at the heart of new legislation and we will table amendments where needed to ensure their voices are heard.

I interrupt your breakfast with news that Saiqa Ali, one of the two Green Party candidates in #Lambeth who was arrested on suspicion of stirring racial hatred and (apparently) suspended has been elected to the council.

Looks like I picked a good day to film on a helipad. But it’s always a good day to support London Air Ambulance Charity and their lifesaving work ️🚁 ☔

We're calling it now. Isabel Kemp (Chair of the Adult Social Care Committee) has left Reform Reform in Kent are now down to 48 from 57 in six months.

Absolutely colossal night of success for the Lib Dems. In the 10 byelections, the LDs have gained from the CONs, GRNs, INDs and LAB, with a narrow loss to REF by 31 votes in Babergh. Scoreboard: LD 7, REF 1, CON 1, IND 1. I assume the media will cover this as breathlessly as every opinion poll?

The brutal welfare cuts in Labour's Spring Statement will devastate families in Southwark, and we've seen nothing for London. More Labour let down. Our reaction to the Spring Statement:

@leicesterliz only seems comfortable when shes cutting the disabled benefits 😡https://x.com/jrf_uk/status/1902007260525596698?s=46&t=IcunIGqHcqh2RgHrUP46WQ

@EdwardJDavey @Lisa_Smart @Apple @LibDemPress this is terrible ? It’s not Apple that should be apologising, it should be our vindictive, Orwellian and incompetent government x.com/toryfibs/sta...

@baftaofficial.bsky.socialwhy no tribute to Timothy West not even an acknowledgment in the credits of actors actress lost?

A French-led effort by European leaders to present a united front on Ukraine in the face of rising fear over US President Donald Trump's intentions fizzled yesterday as they failed to agree on sending troops to police a possible peace deal.

Well this won’t work at a GE

We know what a bad Trump trade deal would mean... Worse food, lower animal welfare and more pain for British farmers – just like the bad deals the Conservatives struck. We can't let that happen.

A Rupert Murdoch business had to pay a "substantial" settlement to Prince Harry & apologize for "unlawful activities." A Murdoch business had to pay $787 M for lying to the public; and A Murdoch business had to pay 100s of millions to settle sexual harassment suits. Rupert Murdoch is a blight.

#Employment Up to 4.4% what a mess the Reeves budget has made 🧐

'Today I'm calling on the government to negotiate a brand new deal with the EU.' Ed Davey urges the government to join a customs union with the EU to 'Trump-proof' our economy.

Today, I questioned the Prime Minister on the NHS crisis and the urgent need to fix social care. I was once again deeply disappointed by his refusal to act this year. But I’ll keep pushing because unless we fix social care, we'll never be able to fix the NHS.

Delays in #EWS1 forms are yet another housing scandal from the disastrous Labour-run #Southwark Council. People are stuck in homes that they’ve outgrown, don’t meet their medical needs or can no longer afford. Sign our petition to sort this scandal: www.londonlibdems.org.uk/campaigns/ews1

"The announcement of a ceasefire is, at last, a moment of hope after many months of darkness and despair for the region." @eddavey.libdems.org.uk on news of the Israel/Hamas ceasefire. ⬇️

The announcement of a ceasefire is, at last, a moment of hope after many months of darkness and despair for the region.

It is completely unacceptable for a senior official in the incoming Trump administration to threaten to overthrow the result of our democratic elections. The place to resolve disagreements with our government is in our country, in our Parliament.
