Only a few days left to make a pledge to support The Stag in #Sevenoaks. The Town Council is within touching distance of the £100,000 target so please pledge if you can! Reposts also very much appreciated. sevenoakstown.gov.uk/stag-theatre...

The fight of our lives, and Lib Dem peers are ready for it. Ed Davey called for a global treaty to pause super-intelligent AI and safe maternity care for every mother. Peers have been raising both in the Lords and will push to deliver them.

Labour's West Kent unitary council plan has been paused, just 2 months after being confirmed. Millions of pounds and huge staff time already spent — with no clarity on what's next. Sevenoaks elections are back on for May 2027. Time for a change from a failing Conservative council.

Nigel Farage triggered a £300,000 by-election while facing scrutiny over his finances. Taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill for a political tantrum. Our “Clacton Clause” would stop MPs under investigation triggering by-elections to escape scrutiny. @lisasmartmp.bsky.social

Businesses are closing. Families are still feeling the cost-of-living crisis. It's time for Andy Burnham to set out a real growth plan starting with Europe.
Liberal Democrats poster calling for a growth plan that starts with Europe, showing Daisy Cooper MP speaking in the House of Commons beside the quote: 

"Up and down the country, we've got businesses shutting their doors at a rate of knots and households battling what now seems a permanent cost-of-living crisis.

Andy Burnham needs to set out his growth plan now, and it needs to start with Europe."

I can’t believe that Reform UK turned out to be financed by a bunch of money laundering fronts for Russia. It’s just so unexpected.

Another fine for Southern Water. These companies keep getting away with hiking up our bills while dumping sewage. We have a new PM. He should put water companies into special administration and return them to public control as public-benefit mutuals. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tommy Robinson is a useful idiot for a hostile state. What kind of so-called British patriot jets to Moscow to rub shoulders with Putin’s cronies, bankrolled by a US trillionaire? We must protect our democracy from far-right thugs, shady tech bros and foreign interference.

Nigel Farage has made a career out of ‘taking back control’ - but he is not being straight with the British people about who controls him. Today, I have written to the Standards Commissioner to urge that the latest Sunday Times revelations are investigated.

Sleeping rough is not a lifestyle choice. After years campaigning, tirelessly led by @laylamoran.bsky.social, we are glad the government has finally repealed the Vagrancy Act. We must now focus on tackling the root causes of homelessness, not scapegoating the victims of it.

If Trump follows through with his wilder and increasingly concerning threats, Keir Starmer must immediately recall Parliament. The Prime Minister must also withdraw US access to UK bases now. This is a grave and era-defining moment for the world.
Quote from Ed Davey which reads: 

“This is a grave and era-defining moment for the world. Donald Trump is making wilder and increasingly concerning threats by the hour.

“If Trump follows through with this, Keir Starmer must immediately recall Parliament. The Prime Minister must also withdraw US access to UK bases now.

“MPs must be given a chance to hold the Government to account and prevent the UK from being complicit in war crimes and breaches of international law.”
