It doesn't matter where you live in Mid Sussex, you tell me about the dire state of repair of our roads. Roads were left to crumble under the previous Conservative government. I spoke in Parliament today and asked the Minister for Local Transport to do better. The Lib Dems will keep pushing.

The obtaining of transcripts from family courts can be the difference between justice and injustice, and long delays are pushing people into financial hardship. I'm glad to hear the government is working on it but I will keep pushing Ministers to ensure change is achieved as fast as possible.
Hundreds of people have been in contact with me to share their concerns about excessive screen time for children. Anna, a child development doctor in Mid Sussex, sees children every day that have been harmed. It seems the govt. is going in the right direction, I will keep pushing for change.
The CEO of South East Water, David Hinton, has finally resigned. I and my Lib Dem colleagues have been calling for this since before Christmas. South East Water now need to get a grip and clean up their act, so we can all trust our water supply again. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
CAE in Burgess Hill provide hundreds of high-skilled jobs. They planned to expand, but because of Brexit, they're unable to bring in the employees they need, and instead invested in Vienna. So today I asked a Minister how the govt plans to tackle damaging Brexit re-tape.
What a bizarre reply from the Health Secretary. All I asked was whether he thought enough was being done to ensure that those who want to be vaccinated at this crucial time, can be... It's a shame he couldn't provide a more constructive answer.
Today I challenged the Water Minister to look at a duty to cooperate for neighbouring water authorities, following outages over the weekend. South East Water's response to the situation has been woeful. Please visit my Facebook page for fuller updates on the situation.
On Radio 5 Live's MP Panel this morning, I set out why the Liberal Democrats were right to call for the King's visit to the USA to be cancelled. As we saw overnight, Trump embarrassed the King by divulging their conversation about Iran - a clear breach of protocol.
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.

I was on BBC Sussex's breakfast show this morning discussing the government's cancellation of local elections. It's a farcical decision and flies in the face of democracy. You can listen to the full interview on BBC sounds playback from 7:10am.

Me every time I hear a news outlet trying to sell some circa 1982 style “Hamas and Hezbollah must be disarmed in order for peace to be achieved” nonsense .. (especially when it’s a bunch of mossad agents posing as negotiators sitting around with Rubio plotting to blame Iran somehow) #مقاومت

When Xi Jinping came to power, he saw Europe trapped in refugee crisis, and the CCP therefore felt opportunity had arrived. Previously, from 4th June 1989, 9·11 to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, to joining the WTO, all gave the CCP room for development.

Sabrina Carpenter/Kermit the Frog "Islands in the Stream" duet is hilarious & awesome. But above all a reminder of Barry Gibb's easygoing genius. The way he floats his melodies over the bar line; the odd landing-spots of the changes (often mid-phrase); the chorus' leap into the astral plane. Beauty
