Farage again blames “the endless eastward expansion of NATO” for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Even when he’s playacting at being tough on Putin, he can’t resist repeating Kremlin talking points.

This isn't a slow-moving crisis; it's an urgent emergency that demands immediate and decisive action from the government. The time for complacency is over. The government must step in with an emergency funding package and guarantee that no terminally ill patient, adult or

Everybody who is decent and genuinely patriotic will agree that Yaxley-Lennon’s screeching, thuggish behaviour is beneath contempt… and that Daisy is absolutely right to call it out. I’m proud of her.

Today's GDP figures show the Government is simply not doing enough to kickstart growth.   The Chancellor must quit her slowcoach approach to the economy and finally drop her damaging national insurance hike, which has stifled business and hit high streets up and down the country

The Government is taking three years to review social care funding  – ignoring the completely unsustainable pressure this is putting on local services. I'm putting the pressure on the Government to do more, sooner. #SocialCare #LocalGovernmentFunding #LibDems

Honoured to share my views at Sutton’s Mid-Autumn Festival in this CNA report. Proposed UK residency changes worry many HKers—BNO is a moral lifeline, not just policy. Govt must keep its promise for families who’ve built a home here. https://t.co/ELiJrRRpKN

Whilst Farage fathered, and the Tories gave birth to, Brexit, Labour was its nursemaid, telling the world they’d make it work🤦🏻‍♂️ The time has come to admit it was an act of national self-harm that must be reversed, beginning with an EU/UK Customs Union🇬🇧🇫🇲

The Tories’ recent pivot calling for UK’s withdrawal from the ECHR prioritises Farage’s nonsense over Churchill’s vision. I asked the SoS how withdrawal would affect the Good Friday Agreement, Windsor Protocol, New Legacy Framework & NI’s institutions.

🚨 Terrible news for Londoners. Rumours the Met had revised its plan to shut police front counters has been confirmed. Only two stations will now be open 24/7 across the entire city. Access to policing will effectively shut down after dark.🧵

This afternoon I presented my Hospices and Palliative Care Bill to Parliament. The bill would place a duty on the Secretary of State to ensure the availability and adequacy of hospice services for all people at the end of life. Everyone deserves dignity at the end of life.
