MPs have BACKED @sarahjolney1's Lib Dem bill on electoral reform. This is a historic day for fair votes. Today, as we have done for a century, Liberal Democrats are leading the fight for fair votes and making sure that no one can be ignored in our democracy. Fixing our broken

Lib Dems Ed Davey has taken a stronger line than the PM:

Lib Dems believe councils are crucial in unlocking communities' potential But Labour @ExeterCouncil cut vital services eg. community grants, street cleansing & @ExeterCAB Written to Exeter’s MPs for sustained rise in council funding tied to local need: https://t.co/4ubdGUpjDl

Let's make the #CANBill happen! Passed its 1st reading today & has a broad coalition of support from all major parties. But both #Exeter's MPs (@steve_race & @David__Reed) are yet to back it. You CAN make a difference! RT & email your MP to urge support: https://t.co/X1HIEnwhVu

Deeply disappointing our motion for WFP pause & rethink was rejected by @exeterlabour en-bloc last night. They will let pensioners go cold this Winter. Challenging for pensioners to claim & leaves many on wrong side of the line for vital support. More: https://t.co/9pvhhsIAOE

Today, Roz Savage MP launched her Climate and Nature Bill. 🍃 This bill would compel the Government to help achieve climate and nature targets, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, halt oil and gas exploration and imports, and reverse nature decline. Read more⬇️

Proud to attend and speak at the @Right_2Roam @EveryonesStars rally outside of the Supreme Court today. Access to nature is a fundamental necessity for all of us. It’s a tragedy that this principle must be tested, yet again, in the court room.

If you are particularly supportive of improving Exeter's bus corridors as a whole, there is also a petition you can sign in favour:

"I tell you what is the best deterrent, competence." - @timfarron on #BBCQT Instead of wasting money on failed schemes like the Rwanda Plan, let's process asylum claims quickly. Return those who aren't refugees humanely, and welcome those who are.

Nobody should be enslaved by poverty

Ready to make some waves at Lib Dem conference! 🌊

18,144 #Exeter pensioners set to lose out, on incomes from just £11.5k Labour want Winter Fuel Payments tied to Pension Credit but 1/3 don’t claim & cliff-edge support risk Awareness & threshold review crucial to prevent pensioners going cold this Winter https://t.co/Pc0uBfIBCP

Ed: asks emotional question about what advice Starmer would give a full-time carer forced back into work to earn enough to care for his wife - now set to lose winter fuel payments. Starmer: the Tories crashed the economy! We need to stabilise it by letting old people go cold. 🙄

The Erasmus Scheme provides a fantastic opportunity for young people to study, teach and volunteer abroad. The new Government should be more ambitious about rebuilding stronger relationships with our European neighbours.

This is not only unimaginative: this is Labour yet again putting their financial woes ahead of the needs of our city. 3/3

The news comes as @ExeterCouncil sets plans to hike already high parking charges across #Exeter. Car parks are one of ECC's few revenue raising powers. Make no mistake, this is a cash grab by Labour following their wasted millions & new govt's refusal to fix council funding. 2/3

This site could serve so many much needed purposes - including hosting a market, performance venue, or social housing. But Labour are taking steps to make it a car park.. despite the impending climate crisis & 6 within 500m with plenty spare capacity. 1/3 https://t.co/VLrmyk6uep

I get the train between London and Bath every week, and cannot remember the last journey not beset by delays or complications. And yet, prices could rise by nearly £600 next year. We @libdems are pushing for a fare freeze - as passengers shouldn't be paying more for less👇

Huge peaceful demonstration in #Exeter today. Shows how the vast vast majority of us are united against racism, Islamaphobia & the politics of hate & division.
