It’s National Fish & Chip Day!

Sincerely hope he means it. All Labour have done on social care since they came to power is kick the can down the road.

I am appalled by the scenes in Southampton last night which will have been frightening for local people. Violence is never acceptable.

Today I asked the Home Secretary what action she is taking to get knives off our streets.

My thoughts are with Henry Nowak’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time. He was a young man with his whole life ahead of him. His killer is rightly facing a significant sentence for his heinous crime.

As the Champions League final kicks off today, millions of football fans are being priced out by TNT Sports locking it behind a paywall. While the PM has politely asked TNT to make it free, I’m calling on the government to change the law and guarantee these games are always free-to-air!

A list of every single Labour MP who voted to block a UK-EU customs union last night. Can you spot your MP?

I know many Southampton fans in my constituency will be hugely disappointed with the way that their season has ended. I feel sorry for the club’s fans and players, having missed out on a return to the Premier League after such a hard-fought campaign.

The knock on impact of Labour’s internal chaos is that important meetings with ministers who have now resigned are cancelled, while new ministers get to grips with their briefs. It is constituents who pay the price. This is absolutely no way to run a country.

Social media giants should not be allowed to pay politicians for extreme posts that maximise engagement. Foreign funding of unregulated digital ads must cease. And those who promote political violence should not be allow to fund campaigns.

After years of chaos under the Conservatives and with the country facing so many challenges my constituents and people across the UK deserve so much better than a Government in turmoil. Labour needs to get its act together and put the country first.

It's a neck and neck race between number of ministerial aides resigning and number of newly elected Reform councillors departing.

You won't hear it from the media, but the Liberal Democrats just had an incredible set of results. We held off Reform, won more councillors than the Greens and trounced the Conservatives Right cross the country people are backing us to deliver the real change they deserve. 🔶

I have a lot of respect for Gordon Brown but bringing back former Prime Ministers didn’t help the Tories and I doubt it will help Starmer either.

While those on the populist extremes of left and right just want to pitch groups against each other, Liberal Democrats have a plan to fix what’s broken and bring our country together. Join us: libdems.org.uk/join

Delighted the @libdems.org.uk @eastleighld.bsky.social have held Eastleigh Borough Council - a real testimony to the consistent hard work and dedication of our fantastic councillors and a rejection of Reform’s politics of division.

There are millions of unpaid carers across the country quietly looking after loved ones, and for too long they’ve been ignored. Liberal Democrats will always be the voice of care, as it is the only way to rescue our NHS.

My constituent Paris is doing an amazing job with her petition to remove sentence reductions for guilty pleas in controlling and coercive cases and I’m doing everything I can to support her. At 100,000 signatures Parliament has to consider the petition for debate. Will you sign her petition today?

I raised the issue of potential jet fuel shortages on the 20th March. The response from the Minister on 17th April implied there was nothing to worry about. And yet here we are.

This open letter is a damning indictment of what can happen when Reform run a council. What a despicable way to treat the elderly. Absolutely appalling. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

On the doorsteps this week I’ve lost count of the number of people who have said thank you for helping them. That’s the thing about @libdems.org.uk - in local councils and Parliament we roll up our sleeves and get things done. For hard-working local councillors #VoteLibDem on Thursday.

Something doesn’t add up here.

Gorgeous evening for canvassing, warm reception on the doors and the message is clear - only the @libdems.org.uk can beat Reform in Eastleigh 🔶

I am concerned to hear about the crash on the M27 near Southampton Airport and will continue to monitor the situation closely. I would like to thank the emergency services for their swift response and my thoughts are with everyone impacted by this incident.

standing ovation after King Charles sings the praises of NATO and says "that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine"

Peter Mandelson should never have been appointed as US Ambassador. I will be voting for the Privilege Motion. We need to draw a line under this mess and if the PM has nothing to hide then he has nothing to fear.

The Conservatives and Reform backed Trump’s idiotic war in Iran. Since then, it’s dragged down the economy, driven up inflation, and now the US is openly questioning British sovereignty over the Falklands. This is what sucking up to Donald Trump gets you.

Since last May, Reform has lost about one in ten of its councillors. As @markpackuk.bsky.social says the high numbers give the appearance of “a rather dysfunctional group of people” who are not very good at getting on with each other. Local communities deserve better. observer.co.uk/news/politic...

A recurring theme I’m hearing on the doorsteps is “I’m so disappointed in Labour.” And that’s on a wide range of issues including the NHS. Clearly the Government needs to get its act together - and that has to start at the very top.

When I appoint a member of staff I have to wait for them to pass security vetting, as do all MPs. It beggars belief that the PM would not have known that Mandelson had failed to pass developed vetting for a position as high level and high profile as Ambassador to the US.

No10’s account is incredible. I held Developed Vetting for nearly ten years and spent three years at the heart of the Cabinet Office. I have never heard of a Developed Vetting denial being overruled. Here’s why…🧵 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Last year Keir Starmer said Brits would "sail through" EU e-gates. The chaos this week shows that was a lie. Long queues at airports are the latest symbol of the Brexit disaster – and Labour’s failure to fix it.

Farage £2m crypto purchase: Lib Dems call on financial watchdog to investigate The Liberal Democrats have called on the Financial Conduct Authority to investigate Nigel Farage after the Reform UK leader purchased £2m of bitcoin.

Trump, Putin, Farage… your boy took a hell of a beating. Congratulations to the people of Hungary for showing that populist extremists can be defeated – even despite Donald Trump’s best efforts.

Donald Trump’s idiotic war has damaged the global economy and left British families and businesses suffering. A total disaster backed by Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage.

After Trump's latest shocking threats, Keir Starmer faces a choice. Withdraw US access now to UK air bases, or risk letting British soil be used to commit war crimes.

Liberal Democrat MPs have written to Keir Starmer today calling on him to withdraw US access to UK air bases. Donald Trump's latest shocking threats against Iran would amount to war crimes. The UK cannot be complicit.

There can be no justification for the King’s visit to the US while Trump continues to wage his illegal war in the Middle East. Trump should not be rewarded for causing global devastation and maligning our armed forces. This visit should be cancelled.

You wouldn’t go into a pub and ask for ‘three and a half seconds of Guinness’, so why are we measuring sewage spills in this way? That’s why I’m calling on the Government to end the Great Sewage Cover-up and hold Southern Water to account www.lizjarvis.uk/max/stop-the...

After years of campaigning I’m absolutely delighted that Eastleigh is finally getting a new police station.

It is indeed unusual to see the Reform MPs in the Chamber at the same time. Their “mass” walk out at PMQs today was both immature and ludicrous.

It’s time the social media giants took responsibility for the damage they’ve caused to the mental health and wellbeing of countless children and young people. They cannot be allowed to continue to act with impunity.

Donald Trump is the most corrupt President in US history. Now it looks like him and his cronies may have used insider knowledge to enrich themselves while their war makes everyone else poorer.

Today I asked the SoS if he agrees that, so long as the price of wholesale electricity is directly linked to volatile gas, we will be at the mercy of despots and dictators, and that decoupling is essential if people in my constituency and across the UK are to have energy security. His response ⬇️

Glad that action has finally been taken to remove this man as the Reform Party’s mayoral candidate for Hampshire. He should never have been selected in the first place. Antisemitism has no place in our society. Reform need to review their vetting procedures www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/2596352...

The Conservatives closed the police station in Eastleigh in 2019 and we’ve been waiting for a new one ever since. After several years of campaigning, raising with Ministers etc I’m delighted to share that Eastleigh is (finally!) getting a new centrally-located police station!
