The Tories can shout at me all they like, but the truth is their Brexit deal it is hurting our country and Labour won’t do anything about it. Today I urged the Prime Minister to actually fix it.

Nigel Farage wants to drag Britain down the same road as Trump’s America: chaos, division and fear. Our NHS, our rights and our communities are at risk. Do not let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain.

Just in case you needed further proof that the Reform party should be allowed nowhere near our NHS. More quacks than a duck race at a village fete.

Trump's plan to hand Ukrainian territory to Putin would not bring peace. It would be the greatest reward for aggression in living memory, and only lead to more Russian aggression in Ukraine and across Eastern Europe.

The Prime Minister must act with immediate airdrops of much-needed aid into Gaza and get other countries to do the same. It is simply inhumane that Gaza faces starvation due to Israel’s aid blockade. Words alone won’t save lives.

Big news: the Government will finally scrap Ofwat — something @LibDems have called for since 2022. This must be the start of real reform. We need a tough, independent regulator that puts my constituents in Esher and Walton first — not Thames Water execs and their profits.

@munirawilson Those families have waited too long for a system that works. We need to get this right. Together with our Liberal Democrat colleagues, we are eager to work on a crossparty basis, to ensure that the forthcoming reforms deliver for children with SEND and for their families. 4/
