Kemi Badenoch claims the Conservative Party has changed, but people in Spelthorne aren't so convinced. I came to hear their concerns, and it's clear: empty promises won’t make them forget years of Conservative chaos, neglect and failure.

Today we were delighted to welcome the leader of the Liberal Democrats Ed Davey to Spelthorne. Ed spent several hours speaking to residents in Staines, including many who told us they had lost faith in the Conservative party. #LiberalDemocrats #Staines #Spelthorne

The West Surrey Unitary Authority has this evening passed a motion requiring the leader to write to the Secretary of State to rename the council to "West Surrey and South Middlesex" by a 2/3rds majority. Thank you to all our Lib Dem colleagues across West Surrey who supported the motion.

Today Ed Davey will call for a new deal that puts Britain back at the heart of Europe. Britain needs a new plan. For growth, for jobs, for defence.

Not surprising Farage hasn't bothered to announce a health spokesperson - his entire team is populated by politicians who broke the NHS. They've also forgotten about a foreign affairs spokesperson, but I guess they will take their orders straight from Trump's White House anyway.

It’s time we started taking Trump’s threats seriously. God forbid if Greenland is attacked, the UK should immediately sanction the Trump Organization and think twice about whether we want US forces on our soil at all.

Liberal Democrat MPs just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR. Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into Trump's America. We won't let him.
Graphic showing a laughing Nigel Farage - above are the words Lib Dems defeat Farage's plan to undermine our Human Rights

Laura loves our town and wants to see it flourish. Her top priorities are: 1. Restore community policing in Staines, tackling anti-social behaviour and petty crime. 2. Tackling the Tory debt crisis which has left every resident £10,000 in debt. 3. Revitalise Staines Town centre.
