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.

January has been anything but dry, and Ardingly Reservoir is now full. Yet Mid Sussex residents are still under a hosepipe ban. Please sign my petition calling for the hosepipe ban to be lifted. South East Water need to lift the ban now! www.midsussexlibdems.org.uk/campaigns/en...
Young carers do incredible and often unsung work looking after disabled and seriously ill family members. But as a result, they often don't have the same opportunities as their peers to succeed at school, and beyond. That's why I think they should receive the pupil-premium.
This morning, I was on BBC Sussex talking about my petition calling for South East Water to end the hosepipe ban: www.midsussexlibdems.org.uk/news/article...
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.
The government's relationship with Palantir stinks. Palantir has links to Mandelson and Epstein, and it's extending its web of influence across our public sector services. That's why I think the govt must be more open about the deals between Palantir and the MoD.
Thank you to everyone who signed my petition calling for elections to West Sussex County Council to go ahead in May. I am presenting it in Parliament this evening. The government cannot let elections be postponed. It would make a mockery of our democracy.
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.
The government's family farm tax is catastrophic, and the recent budget did nothing to help. So yesterday I once again asked a Minister to re-think and act. His answer was far from reassuring.

I raised the issue of failures in the governance of Multi-Academy Trusts with ministers. Failures at the University of Brighton Academy Trust were left unchecked for far too long. The government acknowledges that there is an issue here, which is welcome, but we need to ensure that action follows.

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. voted to cut $1 trillion from Medicaid, along with every Republican in Congress. Why? To give trillions in tax handouts to the richest people in the history of the world. - @alaw202.bsky.social

TALK TO THE PEOPLE MAKING THE PLAN. Even if you are aware and highly involved with the work of the Universal Health Plan Governance Board, the process is long, involved, and confusing. Oregon is on track to be the first state to transition to a universal healthcare system, and the time is now.

Harry Enten just put the number on screen: Republicans gave Trump a +68 net approval on inflation when he was running. It’s now -5. That’s a 73-point collapse on the issue he built his entire comeback on. It’s about time.
