From next week, I'll be sitting on the Civil Aviation Bill Committee, where among other things I'll be fighting for my New Clause 08, which would end the scandal of dodgy and inconsistent baggage fees from airlines. Here's a reminder of why it matters:

I had almost 200k followers on Twitter/X. It afforded me a huge platform and with it I got constant offers to appear on stuff and write stuff. I still appear on stuff and write stuff. Difference is I don't waste hours of my life arguing pointlessly with bots and trolls and I'm so much happier

A lovely impromptu bit of bird-watching the other day when I bumped into John spying the Peregrine Falcons on the High St! I'm not as eagle-eyed as I'd like... It's a real point of pride that Peregrine Falcons nest in our Town Centre and that local heroes like John make sure they're protected.

Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax. But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT. That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing. A 🧵 on bad tax cuts.

Badenoch is partly right: the opposition has won the argument. Just not hers. It's Lib Dem ideas, values and priorities that are winning the day and shaping the conversation. Meanwhile, the Tories look further backwards. My take on conference season: buff.ly/jgatLsa

Kemi’s right; the opposition have won the argument. Just not hers.

Conference season has proven that the Lib Dems are the only party with a serious plan to change politics, change lives and change the nation.

The motion passed at Green Party Conf' actively undermines a 2-state solution, and does not address the rising threats of Islamophobia and Antisemitism here in the UK. This is a divisive motion that pours fuel on the fire of tensions in the UK, and will leave many British Jews feeling less safe.
