The government can't legislate its way out of the PM's poor judgement. The PM's Chief Secretary outlined plans to 'improve processes', in the wake of the Mandelson scandal. Improved processes are all well and good, but they don't improve a PM's faltering judgement.

Happy World Book Day! Books open up the world to all of us. They are such a vital part of how we learn, think and create - and reading them keeps our brains healthy. Keep reading!

Potholes plague our roads in Mid Sussex. The Conservatives have run West Sussex County Council for decades, leaving our roads in a mess. I recently asked the Leader of the House of Commons about our situation. He agreed the local authority simply must do better.

I spoke with BBC Sussex this morning about the need to ensure that residents in Haywards Heath and the surrounding villages have a secure water supply, and South East Water's proposal for a temporary pipeline to fill Ardingly Reservoir.

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.

The Climate Change Committee has warned that we are unprepared for drought as the climate changes. With significant housing targets in the South East, I want to know whether the government has a plan to balance the two. www.theccc.org.uk/publication/...

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.

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.

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.

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.

With Trump’s far-right evangelical prayer marathon coming up Sunday, now is a good time to let you know how to respond when people say “America is a Christian nation!” #politics #trump #deconstructing #religion www.instagram.com/reel/DYVFU6N...

Think about just how utterly stupid you have to be to believe Trump’s lies about the 2020 election.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk asks “Why didn’t you say the stuff about the single market 2years ago - why didn’t you say the stuff about the heart of Europe 2 yrs ago - why didn’t you say the stuff about Farage being a grifter and a chancer 2yrs ago?” Always better late than never.

A Gaza Flotilla activist says the Israelis took pleasure in beating her, and in sexually assaulting her and her friends. She continues, "They removed our clothes, endured us with cold weather and forced us to kneel on the ground with the head on the floor."

The Liberals’ decision to repeal the Underused Housing Tax makes no sense. This measure was meant to curb foreign speculation in Canada's housing market and raise nearly $700M for public priorities. Scrapping it means giving up an important tool for addressing the housing crisis.
