The govt expect cash-strapped councils to save money by merging with other councils. But these mergers are going to cost huge amounts of time and money. Councils are going to be out of pocket as a result, and as for whether or not the long-term savings will prove real - the only time will tell.

Rising fuel prices and soaring bills due to the conflict in the Middle East are hitting families hard, especially those in rural communities who rely on heating oil. As I said recently on BBC Politics SE, any support for rising costs must include those who aren’t connected to the National Grid.

Plumpton College in Sussex has pledged £500k to support skills and training for the English wine industry. During the week, I asked a Labour MP if he agreed that we need to build on this so that we have people with the right skills to support one of our rural success stories.

Last night I presented my petition in the House of Commons calling on the government to think again and turn down any request from West Sussex County Council to delay elections in May. @ITVMeridian ran the story on Good Morning Meridian/Britain this morning.

Labour has asked Conservative led West Sussex County Council whether they would like an extra year in power 🤔 This looks like another anti-democratic stitch up. Elections must go ahead. Sign my petition here: www.midsussexlibdems.org.uk/campaigns/st...

Look how far trump has caused America to fall... Putin, a bloody dictator, has now taken the "lead" with China to proclaim themselves "peacemakers." Their ideal of peacemaking is a lot like trump's. It usually involves war. So this is in a way a threat. #impeachtrump #dumptrump #putin #china #war
