We need real action from the Prime Minister on Europe, not more hesitation. The Liberal Democrats have a plan to strengthen our economy, cut living costs, and boost defence by rejoining the Single Market, Customs Union, and working with European partners on security. These issues cannot wait.

Ed's @libdems.org.uk plan to return to EU membership is secure via rapid return to Single Market and Customs Union. European (incl us) economic and defence gains will be immediate. The PM needs to lead this, not delay for false political choice. He could blame us if it went wrong but it won't. 🤓

Oil is over, coal has gone irrespective of Trump's EPA-wrecking order. Everyone is investing in electrification and storage as fast as funds can deliver. Putin won't have a diesel market. Ukraine must be wary to communicate that climate change will end the market. That you're just hurrying it up.

F-off Putin, Russia and Russians deserve better than you. What a shame and a shambles. We all know this means many many Ukrainians too and the lives of their families and loved ones changed forever. Endless war must stop or be stopped by a greater effort to impose a no-fly-zone over Ukraine

Extreme heat is hitting communities across the country, yet Andy Burnham has been bafflingly silent. After the UK’s hottest summer on record, we need to see far more action. We need cross-party talks to protect Britain from worsening extreme weather.

Officially, the water industry in England is regulated. Practically, it's unregulated. There's no difference between what it does under the eye of the Environment Agency and what it would do if the EA did not exist. The EA is completely useless, by design. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I admire the sentiment on windfall tax on banks. Before anyone joins me saying 'what about the oil companies?' please remember: banks fund the oil industry. If they use a stranded assets maxim for lending, now a glacier's run amok, they should only lend to renewable projects instead. @LibDems

Best help government can give is to support every home to have solar, local councils put solar on all commercial property, install EV charging points, then back-up with storage. It took decades to get to 2 TW of solar. In the last two years we've got to 3TW as a world. Let's do it. @libdems.org.uk

This is no minor detail. It's a key safeguard in a worl where we're resource poor, changing systems with too few staff to meet demand. Mistakes will happen, must be monitored, remedied at speed, to stop them embedding in cover-up. Perfect's not possible but best effort in good faith. We need that.

This is a stark warning: the climate emergency is here, yet the Government moves at a snail’s pace. It's time for a national strategy: funding cool hubs for vulnerable groups, mandating cooling and ventilation in new homes, supporting drought-affected farmers and heat-proofing NHS facilities.

This is the moment for Andy Burnham's new government to replace the water regulator as our Water Authority. That's what the Emergency needs to mandate water companies to stop leaks and sewage, support farmers with engineering muscle for water storage in ponds, lakes and reservoirs and EA in nature.

Here's to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Happy Birthday America!

Happy birthday America!

“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” What a mission statement! An aspiration we can all get behind.

The relationship between our two countries hasn’t always been smooth, but it endures because of our shared commitment to the fundamental values of democracy, liberty and the rule of law.

Because of our shared belief that everyone – no matter their background, no matter where they start – should have the chance to build a good life for themselves and their families.

Even though these are tough times – and those ideals can feel very distant right now – I know our relationship will endure. I know better days lie ahead, and we can reach them together.

So here’s to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Cheers!
