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.

More from Alison Bennett

South East Water's handling of, and reaction to, the situation across Sussex and Kent over recent weeks has been woeful. Surely item one of their job description is to ensure tap water reaches households?

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.

South East Water bills are going up by 7%, despite them leaving tens of thousands of people in the region without water over winter. This is unacceptable. So, today I asked the Leader of the House of Commons for a debate on restructuring the water industry into a mutual ownership model.

Yesterday, Labour asked the Conservatives on West Sussex County Council whether they want another (sixth) year in charge. Today, the Conservatives said yes. Elections shouldn't be cancelled at the whim of the people up for re-election. Sign my petition www.midsussexlibdems.org.uk/campaigns/st...

The stronger our ties to our European partners are, the better. Cutting-edge organisations based in Mid Sussex such as CSL Behring and Roche Diagnostics have had a harder time doing business since Brexit. We should be doing everything we can to negotiate a bespoke customs union.

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...

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.

PVL produces the livery for 75–80% of the UK’s emergency service vehicles. However, recent changes to procurement rules have created significant challenges for PVL. I set out those challenges to the responsible minister yesterday in Parliament.

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.

Een moslimvrouw in Groot-Brittannië uitte verwarring over waarom ze niet met haar neef of andere naaste familieleden mag trouwen. Grote delen van de moslimgemeenschap in Groot-Brittannië zetten zich actief in om nevenhuwelijken te normaliseren en de praktijk sociaal aanvaardbaar te maken.

"I don't have the luxury of belief." 🛸 The debate around UFOs needs to shift from opinion to evidence. It's been seen, it's documented, and it's time to stop treating it like speculation. Full episode here:  https://youtu.be/LfGkVijKjbs #UFO #UAP #Aliens #Disclosure @tobehumanshow.bsky.social

trump posted this to twitter but i left the beginning of the next video that auto-played because he’s dancing on those people’s graves, not colbert’s. also, uhhh, 25th amendment and better than that, we need to introduce legislation for a vote of no confidence and snap elections.

IF IT WAS UP TO ME it would be illegal for landlords to increase your rent in this country, and it would be required by law for landlords to decrease your rent by something like 10% each year while perfectly maintaining+upgrading your place and providing perfect 5/5 starts 10/10 service.
