A good point by the Lib Dems' Daisy Cooper in response to today's #SpringStatement. If the Chancellor wants to cut costs, why not start by slashing all the Brexit red tape from the Tories' botched deal?

It's been a busy few days preparing our next satellite for integration, and I had the opportunity to see firsthand what's happening in Budapest. I was able to observe briefly some of the ongoing protests against Orban and Putin. I had the chance to visit Liberty square too - poignant and moving.

🏞️The #CANBill remains as crucial as ever. But time is ticking for the government to strengthen and improve UK climate and nature legislation⏳ We need to know how - and when - they plan to take forward the fight for real change👇

The scale of the ecological damage is profound and we're already one of the most deprived countries in the world. The case for airport investment is flimsy at best, with SAF and sustainable flight very suspect. We need rail investment to genuinely interconnect our country.

Great to again join @watfordcouncil, @friendsofcassioburypark and loads of amazing volunteers as we continued to plant out hundreds more trees in our beautiful Whippendel Woods! Next session likely to be 9th Feb - please check council and friends comms if you'd like to sign up!

Why is the government happy to cosy up to China, but won't even look at a better customs deal with our closest neighbours in Europe? Ministers say they’re looking everywhere for growth but are ignoring what is staring them in the face.

🗳 Today marks a pivotal day for the Climate and Nature Bill—its Second Reading in Parliament. 🌿 Will your MP vote for the #CANBill? Watch the debate live 👉 tinyurl.com/33229c4x 🐝 @zero-hour.bsky.social

The delay to our hospital is a huge betrayal to our patients, our staff and our town. We cannot allow the decision to go unchallenged and hope you will join us as we organise our campaign to make Watford's message heard by the Government.

Thanks to Watford Council, Friends of Cassiobury Park, Community connections and the many volunteers from near and far for supporting the tree planting today in our beautiful Whippendel Woods! Today hundreds of trees were planted of the 3,000 we have planned for the area.

📣 “Keir Starmer—the Climate and Nature Bill is an opportunity for the Government to show cross-party support on the need for an integrated approach to the climate-nature crisis. It would deliver a joined-up framework, ensuring the UK meets its international commitments.” @libdemvoice.org #CANBill

Limiting access to the world's largest market has stifled our economy, and our freedoms have diminished. Our future is best served by a Britain leading. Leading in Europe, leading on world affairs. Let's see @libdems.org.uk lead a return to internationalist, ambitious, politics.

🙏 UK faith leaders delivered Keir Starmer an urgent letter at 10 Downing Street today. 📣 “We ask you to support the passage of the Climate and Nature Bill through Parliament—and back the #CANBill at its pivotal Second Reading on 24 January.” 👉 zerohour.uk

It was great to speak to residents across a cold North Watford yesterday with more @watfordlibdems teams out across the town! Please get in touch with any of us to raise any concerns or questions you might have!

The second reading of the critical #CANBill is only a few weeks away. Today I've written to my MP, Matt Turmine, urging him to support the bill. Please write to your MP today! Nature is vital to safeguard our future, protect our wildlife and essential to our economy, too. action.zerohour.uk

Chag Hanukkah sameach to all who celebrate! 🕎

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from my family to yours!

Great to join the brilliant team and volunteers of Rotary Club of Watford tonight in Courtlands for a leg of this year's brilliant Santa Sleigh! Was great to see the decorations up and people of all ages enjoying see Santa!

It's been an amazing few weeks with lots going on - here's a quick summary 👂Got out and about with @watfordmayor.bsky.social and Watford Liberal Democrats speaking with residents across the town!

Love a River Colne visit!

Thanks to the many people who spent time with us today!
