Out campaigning in beautiful Sussex where local elections ARE now going ahead despite the local Conservatives trying to cancel them. Like in so many areas of the country, the Tories and Labour are finished and it’s turning into a fight between the Lib Dems and Reform.

A welcome u-turn from the government and a welcome change from Steve Reed's soundbite about fixing potholes being more important to people than democracy. My motion in Parliament on Monday to kill the cancellation will now not be required!

Local Elections are back on.This includes West Sussex County Council elections. We are ready. @chichesterlibdems.bsky.social

BREAKING NEWS: Elections to West Sussex County Council are confirmed to be going ahead in May 2026. Chichester LibDems never stop campaigning, and are ready to win here again. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

@matthaig.bsky.social Saw A Boy Named Christmas at Chichester Festival Theatre last sunday. A triumph by you and the theatre Brilliantly directed by Dale. Just realized gave "The Life Impossible" to my wife for Xmas.

On Christmas Eve I wanted to send best wishes to everyone. With a special shout to residents in Chichester District.

It’s time to end the stitch-up. www.libdems.org.uk/endthestitchup

The government must stop looking for excuses, stop asking the councillors beyond their mandate for permission to hold elections, and simply allow the people of Sussex to have their say.

At a time when trust in politics is already dangerously low, this further corrodes it by treating Sussex voters with contempt. It is simply unacceptable for unpopular Labour and Tory officials to collude in this way to deny the public their democratic right to vote.

The whole process has been a shambles. First, the May 2025 county elections were delayed with a promise of a new Mayor. Then, the government cancelled those Mayoral elections. Now, they are inviting the Sussex Tories to help them finish the job by 'requesting' a further delay to the county elections

This is a democratic farce. The government is essentially asking Conservative council leaders if they would like to grant themselves an extra year in power. It is like a teacher asking a student if they’d prefer to skip their exams because they aren’t ready. news.sky.com/story/millio...

🟢Rescue complete Last night, in the dark, the Oyvon team rescued 27 people who were in distress on a rubber boat. The group were in shock, and as one of them told our team, "If you hadn't rescued us, we would have died."

The death of Dame Patricia Routledge is so sad. She has been a long time resident in Chichester and did a lot for the community. An outstanding actress who quietly gave so much back.

Delighted to attend the Goodwood Health Summit yesterday. Some inspiring ideas from excellent speakers

@simonoking How could you deliver such a disappointing forecast for the weekend. Today when I have to work.... light breeze ..... sunny (well almost). Come on where is our Indian summer?

This is how we deliver a better, hopeful future - by being proud of who we are and never giving up our identity. In Sussex, and the whole UK, we stand for unity over division, tolerance over hate, and hope over despair. #Sussex #MayorofSussex www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you are fed up with the two old parties letting you down. If you are scared of the rise of racism and extremism. If you believe in decency, tolerance and the rule of law. Join us. Because we believe in the British people. We love our country. And together, we can change it for good.

Congratulations to the Red Roses! World champions! What a result!

I am honoured to have been selected as the Lib Dem candidate for Mayor of Sussex. I want to win with unity, not division, promoting a prosperous and green future for our county. Many people have lost all faith in politics, it's time we restored some hope. www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/politic...

"Liberal Democrats' role in British politics has never been more essential. Our precious liberal values are the only antidote to the growth of destructive nationalism." @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

This morning on @politicswest I made the point that if the government is really serious about helping more people into work then investing in health and social care especially mental health services is the answer. That's how to cut the welfare bill . Not penalising the disabled.

Dear President Zelensky, As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here. I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-preside...

A wonderful Laser Show in Chichester tonight

Thanks to a local resident for this fantastic photo of the laser show held yesterday at Petworth House, paid by UKSPF funds from Chichester District Council.

County Council elections this May should go ahead, any Conservative plans to postpone are fundamentally undemocratic. The Conservatives know full well they’re going to fare badly in the County Council elections - they’re grabbing any chance they can find to hang onto their seats.

This morning Ofwat have announced their proposed water bill rises for consumers around the country, with Southern Water customers being hit the hardest with a 44% increase for 2025-26. My constituents in Chichester will, like me, be angry and shocked that it’s up to bill payers to pick up the pieces

Chichester absolutly buzzing today. Thank you Chichester BID

If you look closely you’ll see my daughter’s hand as I wheeled her through the House of Commons to vote on proportional representation. Let’s normalise dads stepping in too when children need to stay home from nursery or school.
