With huge thanks to the voters of Farncombe & Catteshall, who elected @libdems.org.uk Robert Marshall as Councillor for Farncombe & Catteshall on Godalming Town Council 🔶 🙏

Vote Lib Dem 🔶 Robert Marshall, in this coming Tuesday's by-election, for Farncombe and Catteshall 🗳️

The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump, Farage or their cheerleaders at GB News. Keir Starmer needs to stand up to Trump and defend our BBC, to keep it strong and truly independent.

The government needs to step up to protect the BBC and our country 👇

Trumpian politics reaching our own shores, and directly influencing the workings of our national institutions, is a deeply worrying development 👇

I hope the BBC will challenge Nigel Farage today over the economic damage caused by the Brexit he championed. He needs to be held to account for the damage he's done instead of always being given an easy ride.

Thanks so much to everyone who chatted with me and the Lib Dem team in Farncombe & Catteshall this week! Hearing your views really helps us understand what matters most to local people. Plus, the Halloween sense of community was just fantastic 🎃 Looking forward to seeing more of you next week!

In response to today's @thetimes.com article, reporting that Tories are lobbying for this year's cancelled elections to be pushed back even further than 2026, Lib Dem Leader of the Opposition at Surrey County Council, @pauldfollows.bsky.social, says enough is enough: www.youtube.com/watch?v=o57P...

Thank you to all those in neighbouring Guildford who put their trust in the Lib Dems yesterday 🙏 🎉 With convincing by-election wins also in Camberley and Staines, it's clear that the people of Surrey are choosing effective local action founded on the values of liberty, equality and community!

There's a metaphor in here somewhere... 🤔 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

When others look away, Lib Dems lead the conversation. Farnham talk hears defence expert’s stark warning on Trump, Putin, and global instability. 🇬🇧💛 #LibDems #Farnham #GlobalRisks #DemocracyMatters #UKPolitics www.farnhamherald.com/news/watch-f...

With the Conservative leader having made absolutely no mention of the NHS in her opening conference speech yesterday, the Liberal Democrats 🔶 continue to champion NHS care as a pressing, urgent priority 👇

🧡 Latest polling suggests Godalming & Ash and Farnham & Bordon could swing to the Liberal Democrats! 🧡 But nothing is ever taken for granted and your local Lib Dem councillors will keep working hard every day for all Waverley residents, no matter how you vote 💪 www.farnhamherald.com/news/farnham...

'The warning signs are plain. Woking collapsed under £1.2 billion of Conservative debt after years of reckless decisions. Surrey’s Conservative leadership insists it is “resilient” despite criticism from its own auditors... the parallels are hard to ignore.' 😐 www.farnhamherald.com/opinion/cllr...

Nigel Farage being pushed into a dangerous corner by Donald Trump... dangerous for our whole country 😬

'In his conference speech, Sir Ed will argue that the UK should be "stepping into the vacuum left by Trump's anti-science agenda - leading the world in the fight against cancer".' 👏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

£1 million in Fines: Conservative-led Surrey County Council Pays the Price for Failing SEND Families Heartbreaking how let down SEND children have been by the council, which has also amounted eye-watering fines for failures in providing legally-entitled support www.farnhamherald.com/news/surrey-...

Tired of wall-to-wall coverage every time Nigel Farage sneezes? Here’s the reality: 🔸 Lib Dem MPs = 72 🔸 Reform MPs = 4 Yet the BBC still gives them endless airtime. 👉 Help us push for fairer coverage – sign our petition today: www.libdems.org.uk/bbc?fbclid=I...

🇬🇮 Happy National Day Gibraltar 🇬🇮 The British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar celebrates its National Day annually on 10th September, marking the anniversary of the 1967 sovereignty referendum where Gibraltarians voted overwhelmingly to remain under British Sovereignty and form its own government. 1

Tone deaf comments from the MP whose party has decimated SEND services in #Surrey Lib Dem councillors work hard to support those navigating SEND issues and want to help more. Get in touch and please remember the views of the Godalming & Ash MP at the ballot box. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Conservative MPs jeered when I urged the Prime Minister to help end the starvation and suffering in Gaza. Sickening, but they won’t stop me raising this.

Liberal Democrats will always stand up for a safe and strong democracy in this country 🙏 🔶

Hundreds of charities have written to all party leaders urging us to take a strong stand against racism and hatred. I strongly agree – here’s my reply👇

Thank you to all those in Waverley who support the Lib Dems locally 🔶 🙏 We will always work hard to fight for everyone in our wonderful community. To find out more, please visit: www.waverleylibdems.org.uk/news

Netanyahu’s plan to occupy Gaza is abhorrent and it's increasingly clear that his goal is ethnic cleansing. The UK can't just sit on its hands. The Prime Minister must stop all arms exports to Israel and sanction Netanyahu and his cabinet.

It’s outrageous that water company executives are pocketing excessive bonuses while families face soaring bills and our rivers are choked with pollution. Liberal Democrats will keep fighting for a stronger regulator with teeth that puts the public and environment first.

Well done, Lionesses ✊ ⚽ You've done England proud ❤️

Last night @pauldfollows.bsky.social hosted a Local Government Reorganisation information session in Godalming with Waverley Borough Council. Next session: Cranleigh Methodist Church on 29 July. Register to secure your place: orlo.uk/yywly

The UK government tolerating the intolerable (on all of our behalf...) 👇

We’ve been calling for the failing regulator Ofwat to be abolished for years. Now it’s time to go further, with a new regulator to clean up the Wild West water industry for good. Liberal Democrats will not stop fighting until these failing companies are properly held to account.

This record of failure shows water regulation in our country is broken. Water companies are getting away with polluting our rivers on an industrial scale and face little more than a slap on the wrist.

Never in doubt 😉 ⚽

Ed Davey, after making a speech in Westminster, is asked about Labour's decision to suspend the whip from four MPs: "It's not a good look. It looks a bit chaotic". He repeats his line about Starmer risking being "continuity Sunak".

Thank you to the residents of neighbouring Woking for overwhelmingly keeping the faith with your local Lib Dem teams 👏 🔶
