Nigel Farage has spent his whole life dodging responsibility for his actions. This new stunt is his latest attempt to escape consequences for his biggest grift. We won’t let him.

So Nigel Farage resigns before he's pushed out. Or did I miss something. But the standards investigation does not automatically die with a by-election. The public is fed up of politicians who act as if they are above the law and cause huge expense to the tax payer

With extreme parties grabbing headlines it's important that in our part of Wiltshire we communicate that the Lib Dems are the alternative. Let's buck the trend and show we are an inclusive and caring community.

My statement on Trump’s reckless trade war.
Today Donald Trump has launched a destructive trade war that threatens the jobs and living standards of people across the UK and around the world.

We need to end this trade war as quickly as possible - and that means standing firm with our allies against Trump’s attempts to divide and rule.

The Prime Minister should bring our Commonwealth and European partners together in a coalition of the willing against Trump’s tariffs, using retaliatory tariffs where necessary and signing new trade deals with each other where possible.

If the Government gives in to Trump's threats, it will only encourage him to use the same bullying tactics again and again.

The spring statement was a missed opportunity for the government to show support for rural areas. Penalising the most vulnerable is not the way to achieve growth. Id have liked to see a reversal of the jobs tax that is so challenging for the small business and some funding for rural transport.

This morning on @politicswest I made the point that if the government is really serious about helping more people into work then investing in health and social care especially mental health services is the answer. That's how to cut the welfare bill . Not penalising the disabled.
