Wow. Donald Trump is giving money to Putin’s war machine so he can keep killing innocent Ukrainians and attacking democracies across Europe. The UK must lead a coalition of the willing that stands up and says no.

The first duty of any government is to defend its people. The Conservatives decimated our armed forces, and Labour is failing to invest. That's why we're calling for £20bn in defence bonds to urgently strengthen Britain's defences. @maxwilkinson.bsky.social

“We need urgent action to save our democracy.” That’s what I told @lbc.co.uk over the weekend when asked about the massive donations to Farage’s Reform party. The government must act now to stop US-style big money buying our politics.

Unlimited donations from unaccountable sources are a threat to democratic integrity. We're calling on the Government to introduce emergency legislation to cap political donations. Last week we raised this in the Commons. This week we've chased the minister again, because this cannot wait.

I asked the Health Secretary to intervene in the planning system so people in conservation areas like Cheltenham can cool their homes in hot summers. It’s a health risk that will only get worse. I’m not convinced by her reply, particularly the suggestion we all go to the local community centre.

Why have pensioners been effectively trapped for four months on the upper floors of a block of flats in Cheltenham town centre? Because Remus, Fexco and Sarum - the companies in charge of fixing the lift - are failing to do their job.

Brexit promised control. Instead, small boat crossings soared and taxpayers face a £5bn bill. A returns deal with Europe could stop the boats and restore control. @maxwilkinson.bsky.social

Disabilities don't start at 9:30 AM, and now disabled bus passes won't either. Huge credit to Lib Dem MP Tom Gordon and campaign groups like Transport for All. Their fight against unfair restrictions has led to nationwide change for fairer, accessible transport!

Free local bus travel is a vital lifeline for many disabled people. After an almost two-year campaign the Government has finally listened to Liberal Democrat calls to stop restrictions to disabled bus passes. Disabilities don’t start at 9.30am. Neither should disabled bus passes.
BBC News headline announces 24-hour free bus travel for disabled people in England; a crowd of cheering Liberal Democrat supporters hold bus-shaped placards and party signs celebrating the policy.

FIRST PORT - UPDATE I’m genuinely shocked by what I heard last night. We are forming the Cheltenham First Port Action Group. This follows ongoing and significant concerns about the way First Port conducts business in Cheltenham. Many serious concerns were raised at the public meeting I hosted. 1/3

The Chancellor has the power to stop Farage's cynical ploy. I've written to her this morning urging her to act. Farage should not be allowed to resign until the investigation into his dodgy dealings has concluded. The people of Clacton deserve the facts first.

People are rightly sick of the revolving door at 10 Downing Street.
Labour is about to give us a second
PM just two years into government.
Whoever comes next must fix our broken politics and address the fundamental problems holding our country back - the nonsensical trade barriers with our biggest economic partner, the cost of living crisis and the disempowerment felt by communities everywhere. They will need to take seriously the challenges in defence and security, too.

I was invited to appear on GBNews for PMQs Live this week. While the channel is not to my taste, I agreed to attend in the spirit of open debate. It also gave me a chance to challenge the channel on its pro-Reform party agenda. The discussion was in good spirits, though I think I touched a nerve.

My problem with Labour. Policies matter, and language matters too. Starmer and Mahmood repeatedly use language and propose policies that validate Reform's rhetoric. If they spend the next 3 years telling voters that Reform are basically right, will they be surprised that's what people vote for?

Tories & Reform are toying with the idea of a Trump-style ICE force for Britain. I asked the Labour Home Secretary to reassure British people there wouldn’t be a UK ICE force & to condemn Trump's tactics. She said she didn’t pay attention to what happens in America. I’m shocked at her blasé answer.

The ‘temporary’ closure of the Aveta Birth Centre in Cheltenham to labour and births almost four years ago continues to impact the choices of women who want to give birth locally. Today at Women and Equalities Questions I asked ministers to look again at the issue and to push for a full reopening.

Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela. Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe. Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

Polls suggest that Nigel Farage is heading for 10 Downing Street on a vote share of just 30%. It beggars belief that Labour is still committed to an outdated, undemocratic voting system that would see the hard right stroll into government on a minority of the vote.

Nathan Gill has been sentenced to 10.5 years for endangering national security and taking Russian bribes. Nigel Farage and Reform are a danger to national security, the Liberal Democrats will continue to hold them to account and defend our democracy.
ED DAVEY QUOTE GRAPHIC. 

TEXT: A traitor was at the very top of Reform UK, aiding and abetting a foreign adversary. 

Nigel Farage and his party are a danger to national security.

Nigel Farage himself was previously paid to be on Putin’s TV channel, Russia Today, and said he was the world leader he admires the most. 

We must all ask - where do his loyalties really lie?

We need a full investigation into Russian interference in our politics.
