bylinetimes.com/2026/07/02/k... I attended this yesterday, and what was most surprising was that a Labour Government Minister accepted little had happened to stop second jobs,despite it being an manifesto pledge, having a massive majority, plus backing of a large number of Labour,Lib Dem& Green MP’s

Today there wss a debate in Parliament to ban ALL MPs’ second jobs. Nigel Farage didn’t show up to defend any of his - including the latest one, raking in £22,500 an hour to promote a gold dealer. The gravy train must end. Watch the debate below.

And if Reform get in children’s mental health will be one of many things thrown under the (red) bus.

When I first became an MP, there were 500,000 children on mental health waiting lists. Now there's a million. Mental health should be treated as seriously as physical health. We need urgent action from the government to ensure no child is left on a waiting list for years.

Andy Burnham has a very short window to turn this government around. The country is impatient for change. People have heard fine words before only to be let down badly because nothing really changes. We can’t afford more of the same.

The Health Bill is a chance to fix our NHS. Lib Dems are fighting for better GP access, fairer mental health funding, safer maternity care and action on corridor care.

And there it is… www.desmog.com/2026/04/30/r...

In the end, will kier Starmer’s resignation, actually help people who feel so disconnected from politics? I don’t think it will.

www.libdems.org.uk/news/article... We can’t keep losing £90billion a year just because some billionaires wants us too. It’s time we put ourselves first and take the opportunity to have a better future

Today I met with the Climate Minister, @katiewhitemp.bsky.social. I relayed concerns expressed to me on Saturday at the "People's Emergency Briefing", which marked the start of Sidmouth's Great Big Green Week. The Minister responded favourably to the idea that the Briefing might be aired on TV.

The Prime Minister must stop begging tech companies to tackle child sexual abuse material and take decisive action to protect children online. @munirawilson.bsky.social, @dannychambers.bsky.social, @carolinevoadenmp.bsky.social

Should the #reform party just be renamed the #crypto #billionaire party and have done with it?

Keir Starmer is the fall guy, which is why Burnham will win the by-election.

This is what Reform do, they take a story and weaponise it for their own fan base/cult. It is a simple medical fact that black men are twice as likely to to get prostrate cancer, so they should be encouraged to be tested more. Something he would easily have known. But hate makes a better headline.

It saddens me that the Labour Party are replicating the Tories at there worse

So what we have learnt about Farage and Polanski, is that both seem terribly bad at remembering issues around tax and money. Not the “honest guy” persona they try to portray is it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Dear @labouruk.bsky.social first of all grow up will you ! Stop acting like the Tory party. Reform are laughing at you, oh and you will be needing PR for the next election.

The final 2026 local election result are in and its our 8th year in a row of making gains. We are the voice for those who want real change, not dangerous populism. For those who want to build Britain up, not burn it all down.

So if they get to 81 then what?

Oh good grief what is going on!

I spoke to a life long Labour supporter who voted Reform on Thursday. I gave her all the arguments against Reform, but all were dismissed with the same reply “Tories and Labour have messed up so I thought why not give Regorm a go” interestingly she did like Farage and didn’t want him to be PM!

I see there are calls for PR is being mentioned again on social media. Providing we can use a system that works more like Germany less like Italy, do you think it’s time to change?

Watching QT good grief isn’t Jenrick a nasty piece of work as LD Josh Babarinde has just said

Reform Jenrick claims the 5 miilon given to Farage was because he was worried about his security as an MP except of course he wasn’t an MP .

We are at the stage of Reform announcing concentration camps and the entire media immediately moving on to whether Polanski exaggerated on his CV in 2012 or not.

What!

So if you are “given” £5 million by a billionaire, would you at least ask what do you expect for that money? oh and I’m sure he remembered to tell the tax man because I will have to pay some tax on it!

🚨 NEW: Ed Davey has called for the Privileges Committee to investigate whether Keir Starmer misled Parliament on Peter Mandelson's vetting The committee previously forced Boris Johnson to resign as an MP over Partygate

What do people think , is this it for Starmer?

Always follow the money

Tice £91,000 tax row is 'minor administrative error', party claims …. And there you have it, the mindset of reform and Tice, who complain bitterly when other politicians seemingly fail to pay the full tax, but see no issue not paying the full tax themselves.

Great to be out in Bideford listening to locals talk about issues including local shops, mental health, MP’s attendance and immigration. Good to listen to a range of views and the challenges residents face day to day.

Wow so Presidential, you Americans must be so proud!

Lib Dem’s would spend the £20b extra taxes from fuel increases on : ⛽️ Cut fuel duty by 10%, thats 12p per litre less. 🚌 Slash bus fares to £1, from £3 cap. 🚉 Cut rail fares by 10%. 🚗 Cut VAT on public electric vehicle charging, and review the unfair network costs that push up charging prices.

Says it all… Trumps mate Farage got us into this mess!!

Keir Starmer can't, Kemi Badenoch won't and Nigel Farage refuses to. Only Ed Davey is calling out Trump's corrupt regime and standing up for the British people.

Delighted and relieved that the government has finally committed to change the law on this. A major step forward for protecting young people, and a testament to the efforts and determination of Fiona Laskaris and Chris Coghlan 👇

In 2024 £1.3bn was spent on Maternity negligence claims. All of our local NHS maternity services have a CQC rating of “requires improvement “. We think if you invest in the service, supporting our NHS staff we can ensure every mum gets one to one care during labour, whatever the time of day.

For years we have had to put up with our region getting the scraps of funding. Are you ashamed Sir Geoffrey Cox MP that this is your legacy?

If you agree, back our petition to cancel the visit.

Why are we rewarding Donald Trump with a state visit from our King? His illegal war is driving up costs for British families and he is belittling our country and insulting our troops. Cancel the visit.

www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli... I am only ever mildly interested in polls, because I know people often say one thing and do another when voting, as any canvasser, from any party, will tell you. But the decline is mirroring what I hear every day on the doorstep, Reform vote is dropping, fast.

Well Trumps upset, so that’s all good then

Oh dear I expect Richard Tice will apologise for his behaviour and resign, after all is that what he has called for in the past in similar situation hasn’t he.

Sign this, because the government won’t listen otherwise

Trump has insulted our war dead and veterans, starts an illegal war and expects us to follow and pay the cost of his actions, if the King goes now we are agreeing with Trump behaviour

bsky.app/profile/oliv... If your appalled by this and think being an MP actually means you should, we’ll be an MP full time, not just occasionally. Then ask yourself why has the government done nothing about this, but kick the whole thing into the long grass despite it being a manifesto pledge ?

Another job opportunity for you Sir Geoffrey Cox MP?

We need a complete overhaul of the SEND system. @MuniraWilson.bsky.social
