The UK Government needs to spell out to Trump and his lawless Cabinet that we will abide by international law, even if they won’t. @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social and I have asked Ministers to make clear that no UK bases would be used in an illegal attack by the US on Greenland.

In yesterday’s Adjournment Debate, I warned the House that illegal dumping is no longer isolated - it is an epidemic. Communities are paying the price while criminal gangs get away with it.

The UK must continue to stand up to Putin’s aggression and back Ukraine to agree a ceasefire on their own terms. We want to see the detail of what the Prime Minister has agreed today but we will support a deal that gives Ukraine control of its future. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1...

Callum will lead an Adjournment Debate in the Commons today on government support for clearing illegal waste near the river Cherwell.

Tonight, at around 7pm, I’ll be leading an Adjournment Debate on the illegal dumping along the River Cherwell. Residents have raised serious and legitimate questions, about how long the waste will remain, whether councils will be left footing the bill, (1/3)

Deeply concerned about Trump’s imperial intentions - and the implications for Greenland. UK Government needs to make clear that we will not stand for US piracy to seize the natural resources of sovereign states.

It's now clear that this was never about the interests of the Venezuelan people or the wider world. This is Trump serving his own interests and ego, making the world far more dangerous in the process. Starmer must convene the UN Security Council to hold Trump to account.

Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela. Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe. Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

The Israeli Government must reverse its decision to ban reputable international aid agencies which will lead to more suffering and avoidable deaths among Gazan civilians. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Family Farm Tax should never have been forced through by the Treasury. Lib Dems were first to call it out. We have consistently opposed it. The anxiety and distress caused - especially to older farmers with no time to adjust - has been inexcusable. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

SMEs across Britain are losing sales due to barriers to trade with the EU. The British Chambers of Commerce nails it: “Businesses do not want a future with the EU where they constantly have to manage friction and are beset with recurring crises.” www.britishchambers.org.uk/news/2025/12...

With this huge expansion of settlements on Palestinian land in the West Bank, Netanyahu's extremist Cabinet is doing all it can to destroy hopes of a two-state solution. The UK Government must go beyond mere condemnation and take meaningful action. 👇🏻 1/2 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Wes wants it. 80% of Labour voters want it. What about Keir? Whoever's in No10 in 2026, Lib Dems welcome Govt support for our call for a new customs union. Let's grow the economy, create jobs and cut prices by slashing the red-tape from the bad Brexit deal. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

I was very sad to learn of the death of Ian Hudspeth OBE, who led Oxfordshire County Council from 2012-2021. Ian was strongly committed to our community in Bladon and Woodstock and a dedicated public servant. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and those who loved him.

The Foreign Secretary must summon the Chinese Ambassador to demand Jimmy Lai's immediate release and the quashing of this trumped-up conviction. The CCP is hell-bent on suppressing civil liberties & the rule of law in Hong Kong. The UK has a unique obligation to act. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Scenes from Bondi Beach are sickening. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected. The start of Hannukah sees the lighting of candles for renewal and hope. These dark acts must not extinguish that light. I stand with members of the Jewish community and against all anti Jewish hatred.

🚜🪏 Delighted that the Government and Environment Agency have agreed to clear the appalling illegal waste tip near the River Cherwell and A34. Thank you to everyone who joined our campaign and pressed for this outcome. This has shone a light on industrial waste crimes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

100-all for the Lib Dem's Customs Union Bill! Con/ Ref voted against (though N Farage was missing). Lib Dems, smaller parties and 13 Labour rebels voted in favour. Red tape is costing the Treasury £25b a year in lost revenue. Labour should back it at 2nd reading in Jan www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We desperately need growth in our economy to transform opportunity for UK businesses and create jobs. The way Brexit was implemented has tied up firms in red tape and stifled growth. I hope Labour MPs will join Lib Dems today in voting for a change that will put the economy on the path to recovery.

Today is World AIDS Day. We are close to zero new HIV transmissions by 2030, but not close enough. New infections are rising in heterosexual and ethnic minority communities and PrEP access is still unequal. Zero by 2030 means fair access to testing, treatment and prevention for everyone.

As Islamophobia Awareness Month ends, the rise in anti-Muslim hate remains impossible to ignore. Together, we must call it out and build the inclusive Britain we all need and deserve.

Budget 💷 Labour has failed to deliver fairer taxes. Big banks, digital service companies and online gambling firms should pay their fair share. Instead, hundreds of thousands of lower wage earners and retirees with modest occupational pensions will be dragged into income tax by Labour’s stealth tax.

Simply extraordinary that MPs are reading the details of the Budget on their phones before the Chancellor delivers it. These figures can move markets; it’s shocking that they have leaked prematurely. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cy...

"We desperately need a budget that puts growth back into the UK economy." @CalumMillerLD.bsky.social

If you are wondering what the Budget means for you, or you’d like to ask me anything else, please drop by tomorrow. I will be at the Fat Zebra in Bicester 12-1pm.

Ahead of the budget tomorrow, we asked some of our MPs what they want to see from Reeves’ announcement 👇

White Ribbon Day matters. Violence against women and girls will only end when men take responsibility for changing the culture that allows it. I’m proud to speak out on #WhiteRibbonDay and every day to help build a safer world for our children.

I welcome this development. It is essential that those criminals responsible for the illegal dumping in Kidlington are held to account. (1/2) news.sky.com/story/man-ar...

Donald Trump is gunning for the BBC, and Farage is cheering him on. Want to know why? Follow the money…

"Amid all of this, the UK has been too often absent... Under govt.s focused on party management not the national interest, we have lost our way in the world." @calummillerld.bsky.social reflects on UK foreign policy challenges and the Lib Dem’s approach to facing them ukandeu.ac.uk/a-lib-dem-ap...

Along with everyone else, I am shocked by the horrendous dumping of tonnes of illegal waste by criminals that now threatens to pollute the River Cherwell. ⏰ Time is ticking. Please sign this petition to let the Government and Environment Agency know they need to act now and clean it up.

I hope the UNSC's resolution will reinforce the fragile ceasefire in Gaza - but it does not go far enough. It has no clear plan to disarm Hamas, ensure accountability nor to roll-back illegal Israeli settlements. We need a clear roadmap to a two-state solution. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The contaminated waste piled high in a field near Kidlington is now washing into River Cherwell. In the last 48 hours, the water level has risen 4+ feet and is lapping against the illegal dump. We stand on the edge of an environmental disaster. We need urgent action from the Environment Agency.

Keir Starmer must hold firm and back the BBC. Important to note this is another example of Trump seeking personal gain from public office. His Presidency is characterised by blurring the two. We must heed the warning and take steps to stop the same happening here.

The huge pile of illegally dumped waste by the A34 in Kidlington is utterly shocking. Yesterday a Govt Minister agreed to meet me, I will ask her to step in to remove this terrifying environmental risk. I’ve also raised this as an urgent matter with the Chief Exec of the Environment Agency.

Iran’s cowardly and extortionate regime will take any opportunity to level trumped up charges against Brits. The Foreign Secretary must summon the Iranian ambassador and make clear the UK sanction those responsible unless the Foremans are released immediately. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Today I was honoured to take part in Woodstock’s Remembrance Day ceremony. In solidarity with today’s service personnel, people came together in villages and towns across Bicester and Woodstock to pay respect to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. We will remember them.

📢I'm hiring. 📝🎥🤳Great opportunity for someone with comms, social media or events experience who would like to join my team and promote the campaigns we are running to help the community in Bicester & Woodstock. More details below. Please share! www.w4mpjobs.org/JobDetails.a...

Pleased to successfully vote against Nigel Farage’s Bill to pull Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights. The ECHR reflects British values of fairness and decency - not something to be discarded for political headlines.

In the midst of devastation and death, communities cling to the ceasefire. This is a time for cool heads and strong words. UK Ministers must exert all influence possible on the US to restrain Netanyahu and uphold a process that, while imperfect, is a start to peace. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c8...

Labour seems to be working hand in glove with Oxford City Council to force a “Greater Oxford” on residents. People want one fair, county-wide unitary, not to be swallowed by the city. Local government reform should be with communities, not done to them. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

We are a diverse nation. People of different colours and backgrounds are proud to be British and contribute hugely to our communities. This casual racism from Reform UK discriminates and drives division. As liberals, we will stand up to it. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The way the Conservatives implemented Brexit has done great damage to our economy - costing manufacturers and farmers dearly in red tape and lost exports while denying a whole generation of young Brits the chance to work, study and live in the EU. 15 months in, Labour need to step up and fix this.

Victims of domestic abuse deserve real protection, not promises. The Government must ensure it properly funds probation services and electronic tagging to keep survivors safe after perpetrators are released.

The best thing about my job is meeting more people from across our area. This Saturday I will be at Kidlington Library 11.30-13.00. This is a drop-in, so there is no need to book, just come along to say hello or if there's something you'd like my help with my team and I will do our best.

Shubh Diwali! 🪔 Wishing Hindus, Sikhs and Jains in Bicester and Woodstock, and around the world the happiest of celebrations today, filled with hope for a bright future.

We cannot allow Gaza's fragile ceasefire to falter. All sides must fulfil their obligations. The Hamas terrorists must immediately retrieve and release all hostage bodies. The Israeli Government must allow the immediate and unimpeded flow of long-overdue aid into Gaza.

It’s good to see the PM finally listening to Liberal Democrat calls to seize the billions in frozen Russian assets tied up here in the UK to help arm Ukraine. This must now happen rapidly. With our European allies we must use these assets to strengthen Ukraine’s hand and ramp up pressure on Putin.

Women’s rights are under attack worldwide, from authoritarian regimes, online misogyny, and cuts to aid. @CalumMillerLD.bsky.social explains the Lib Dem plan to tackle this violence and empower women globally.

Three big Lib Dem wins in this week's by-elections. Last night in Mel Stride's Devon constituency, Liberal Democrats GAINED a seat from the Conservatives - the Conservatives dropped to just 10% of the vote. And two great wins by our teams in Bath and Hampshire.
