Happy New Year to all my friends and family. Wishing you good health, peace, joy and hope for a better world in 2026. If 2025 showed us how close we are to the edge, let 2026 help us to find a way to step back to happier times.

Following the announcement by the Lib Dems returning officer on quotas in our federal elections I would like to make it clear I spent many hours and more emails trying to point out that this decision went against the expressed will of conference barely a month ago.

I'd also like to make it clear that I now consider attempts to question me on my Assigned Sex At Birth to be the equivalent of asking what my genitals look like and will therefore be considering them sexual harassment going forwards.

Absolutely barnstorming piece on Lib Dem Voice by

Yesterday's Commons debate was on UK-EU relations ā the issue Farage built his career on. He now has the immense privilege of a seat in the chamber. So where was he? If he thinks the Brexit deal's a disaster, why not show up to say so? Utterly disrespectful to the public.

The government should draw up plans for Tesla tariffs to hit Musk where it hurts, if Trump follows through with his threats to the UK steel industry. Trump and Musk can't be allowed to bully the UK while the Conservatives and Nigel Farage cheer them on from the sidelines.

If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945. The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.
