Good luck getting me bungee jumping.

A good post but I noted that Mr Thomas is the recently elected Lib Dem MP for Tewkesbury. And God damn I feel so much of the media doesn't talk about how crazy that is He's the first non conservative MP for Tewkesbury since 1880. And one of the two Cotswold seats is Lib Dem too?

Taking this moment to wish my mum, and all my other favourite devout Christians well with the Rapture tomorrow.

Like a low budget Baywatch knock-off, this morning I ran down Bournemouth seafront and joined fellow Liberal Democrats and @sascampaigns.bsky.social in a swim to the end of the pier. I have to say, the water was lovely. If only that was the norm.

Sure. I left Twitter because I do not intend to legitimise an Apartheid-nostalgic, Sieg-Heiling, drug-fuelled narcissist by lending my weight to his right wing propaganda platform, knowing that he minimises my reach anyway. Each to their own though, I suppose.

Thank you @libdemcam.bsky.social for discussing with us the shocking reality people with leukaemia face in their diagnosis and for offering to write to the Government asking them to address this in the National Cancer Plan #LDConf

The Lib Dems are right. I know for a fact that a lot of Russian interference isn’t publicised. The Government needs to start calling it out every time it happens so that the public understands we’re at war,

This morning @helenmaguiremp.bsky.social and I visited the War Memorial in Bournemouth. Helen is a fellow retired Military Police Officer, having served with the Royal Military Police while I served with the RAF Police.

Failed haircut this afternoon with Movember...

BOURNEMOUTH PATRIOT 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Imagine Musk's shame when he wakes up from the K-Hole and remembers the time he challenged Zuckerberg to an MMA fight and then chickened out. Nationalism is not patriotism, and intolerance is not courage.

19 drones launched over several hours, from Russia and Belarus, into Poland, were not a mistake. Many of them did not carry explosives, so they had not gone astray in Ukraine....they were a probe of Poland, NATO and Trump.

I'm unsure whether us or the Greens come out of this looking worse.

Has Liz Truss been unveiled as a Reform member yet?

The cut in the Russian oil price cap to $47.60 is just a drop in the ocean. We need tougher action: 🚫 Ban UK imports of fuels made from Russian oil 🚫 Block UK firms from shipping/insuring Russian LNG 💰 Slash the cap to $30 Hit Putin’s war chest. Stand with Ukraine.

Read the room, then lead the room. I will not be dragged to the right by media hysteria over immigration. It remains an issue which demands respect and compassion. The government must take care not to join the Conservative Party and Reform UK in the abyss.

Tomorrow I'm stepping into @mrjamesob.bsky.social shoes and presenting @lbc.co.uk from 10am to 1pm. Join the conversation 🔽 📱 0345 60 60 973 💬 84850

This is exactly right. London might not be perfect, but all of the horror stories being pushed by the right are to make people scared, and to try to get us blaming each other, and the people the right hate. Liberals, 'the elite', foreigners, immigrants, young people, cyclists. Reject it.

The state of BBC Sport. Cope.

"Peace in our time". We are on the cusp of a historic misjudgement akin to Chamberlain's appeasement, as Donald Trump risks inadvertently enticing Putin and Xi into a kinetic war. Putin must receive no concessions. Ukraine must win.

Two weeks ago I issued David Lammy a direct opportunity to recognise the State of Palestine. He declined. This week, I am proud to sign a letter from the Liberal Democrats, again giving the government this opportunity.

Today we hold in our hearts Bebe, Elsie and Alice, three little girls so cruelly murdered in a heartbreaking tragedy. As we grieve today, let us also remember that we are a caring country, defined by compassion, decency and respect for the rule of law.

when this began, it was a studio fight. i had never made a sitcom, only documentaries and long form—moved in to the house and spent nine full months quietly shooting everything. they became my family. as the footage came back, the studio perked up and decided "to gamble." apnews.com/article/osbo...

Ozzy, The man I became was built upon the bands and artists of my youth, and upon memories like Ozzfest 2001. When family and friends failed, the music was there, and much of it would not have been there, if not for you. It's hard to imagine who I would have been if not for you. Thank you.

It took 382 days for Labour to implement the Lib Dem manifesto pledge to abolish Ofwat. If they crack on with implementing the rest of it, they'll turn the country around in no time. It's a small step in the right direction, but in opposition, the Lib Dems will keep the pressure on.

"War crime, after war crime, after war crime. A message to the world: "Do not intervene. Do not observe what we are doing to the Palestinians"". This government has talked for too long. The world wants action. I invited the Foreign Secretary to recognise the state of Palestine... He declined.

Another icon of my youth has left us. Rest in peace Charles Augins. "Double check and mate, sucka".

On a salary almost 3 times the national average, it would still take a UK MP 2.5 million years to match Jeff Bezos' wealth. Today I used a debate on Welfare to highlight wealth inequality, as a more appropriate target of taxation than our most vulnerable. youtube.com/watch?v=fm8R...

Why were the Conservative benches so empty today for their own Opposition Day debates on Welfare and Taxation?

@garyseconomics.bsky.social Got half an hour this week?

Okay, thanks. ... but I would like to know where MI6 and MI5 were while Putin was influencing the government of the day through Conservative Friends of Russia. Why was the alarm not raised? If it was, why was it not heeded? A historic failure of our intelligence services?

🇬🇧🇫🇷Sir Alex Younger, longest serving head of MI6 bemoans the falsehoods and division peddled during and in the aftermath of Brexit...

This afternoon at PMQs I invited the PM to turn it up to eleven with us at Tewkesbury Live Music Festival. Though he's unlikely to join us, I'm glad I could celebrate our venues and volunteers. Tewkesbury rocks! youtube.com/watch?v=VyFa...

Today I met President Macron and discussed the once-in-a-generation threat that Putin poses to Europe’s collective security. We must work together to seize frozen Russian assets, and repurpose them for Ukraine's defence.

Tewkesbury constituency, thanks for an incredible first year!

Nigel Farage and his Reform MPs just voted to let foreign governments buy up our British newspapers. I guess it’s hardly a surprise since these fake patriots outsource all their policies to Trump’s White House and Putin’s Kremlin.

Today we marked 97 years since women won the vote on equal terms with men, in this commemorative photocall of women MPs organised by @centenaryaction.bsky.social. We each received a lovely personalised sash (I'm number 660!) by Re:make Newport to mark our place in the history of #WomenInParliament.

Rod Stewart: "Hi mate. Quick one. I've said something really stupid. I need someone who actually understands politics. Can you help a brother out?" Mick Hucknall: "Hold my year".

"Under first-past-the-post, because there are more people wanting Special Brew than cappuccino, lattes or flat whites respectively, you are all condemned to go out on the piss." Brilliant from @willhaycardiff.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This Monday past I was honoured to speak for the Royal Air Force, at the flag raising ceremony for Armed Forces Week, at the Houses of Parliament. This Armed Forces Day we thank those who serve, and remember those who went before. Per Ardua Ad Astra.

🚨Nuked Blood Scandal Thank you @libdemcam.bsky.social for raising the shocking nuked blood scandal at #PMQs today and thank you Angela Rayner for confirming Veterans Minister Alistair Cairns will meet with the nuclear test veterans to find a way forward

Today we can give them the choice.

The government needs to publish any legal advice received around involvement in the conflict with Iran. The last thing we need is for the UK to be dragged into another illegal war in the Middle East by the US.

Comments from the Conservative Leader this afternoon, in response to the launch of a Grooming Inquiry, were absolutely disgusting. Devoid of empathy, humanity or genuine gravity, Badenoch's comments were pure political theatre and a debasement of the House. Josh Babarinde MP right to call her out.

This Fathers' Day, here's a nod to all the men out there, raising children to feel loved, safe and valued. Nobody emerges from parenthood with a perfect score, but you're there, and that's important.

Dared. Did. Sacked. There's a lot left out there, but Ange is a Spurs legend.

It has been almost 36 hours since Tottenham Hotspur won a trophy. How much longer are we going to wait? Levy out.

Newcastle United ✅ Crystal Palace ✅ Harry Kane ✅ Tottenham Hotspur ✅ What a season.
