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.

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.
📶 Mobile Signal Survey There wasn't much signal in Albourne this morning, but what's mobile reception like where you are? I want to raise your experiences in Parliament in January, so do let me know by completing this short survey alisonbennett.co.uk/signal Thank you
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.
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.
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 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.
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?
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.
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.
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.

The FDA vaccine head, like his boss, always overstates the risks of vaccines or issues provocative headlines without providing actual evidence. They did the same thing again over the weekend. We focus on the actual truth @msnowreports.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.

Jillian Segal can’t explain any services provided by co of ScoMo’s fmr sec Yaron Finkelstein who she contracted without tender. Says it’s an “advisory contract” Pocock “$200k for ad-hoc advice?" Segal “I didn’t say that" Then what’s the $200k for? Peak integrity.🙄 #auspol
Wolves once beat Real Madrid to sign Ruben Neves. In the Championship. 😮 Then sold: ❌ Jimenez ❌ Jota ❌ Neves ❌ Cunha ❌ Ait-Nouri ❌ Semedo ❌ Sarabia 20th. Every week. All season. This is what systematic dismantling looks like. 😶 #Wolves #PremierLeague #Relegation #EPL

Republicans keep saying there isn’t enough money for clean water, museums, climate science, public lands, or basic services. But somehow there's always more money for Trump’s pet projects. This is a choice: Trump’s ego over the public interest. Trump’s vanity over the needs of working families.
I was able to get my ball 🏀 finally up. We collect art 🖼️ in a variety of ways that speak to us from paintings to photography and everything in between that catches our eye. Getting more of it put up this year. This is a Kehinde Wiley ball 🏀 #ArtVibes
