A year ago, I told the PM: scrap Ofwat. Today – after relentless Lib Dem pressure – the Govt has listened. The new regulator must be fit to task. But this is just the start. Our rivers are poisoned. Ministers must now commit to ending all sewage dumping into bathing waters by 2030. No excuses.

Businesses in Bicester want to install solar panels on their rooftops - but they are blocked by local electricity networks. I’ll meet with the Energy Minister to push for change, building on the Sunshine Bill. Rooftop solar should be standard on new commercial buildings, not an exception.

Even after concessions, the PIP plans remain deeply flawed and risk real harm to disabled people, carers and families. There’s no credible plan to support people into work. The Liberal Democrats will vote against this bill - and keep fighting for a fairer, more compassionate system.

Getting around is becoming unaffordable and families are paying the price. Trump’s war in Iran is pushing up fuel costs. While the Tories & Reform cheer on the chaos, the Lib Dems are calling for emergency action: cut fuel duty by 10p, cap bus fares at £1 and cut rail fares by 10%.

At PMQs today, I pressed the Prime Minister on PFAS contamination affecting our constituency. He agreed that the Health Secretary and Environment Secretary should meet with me. This matters. Residents deserve joined-up action, clear answers and accountability from Government.

Bicester is growing fast, but young people are being left behind. A former youth arts centre sits largely unused, despite being publicly owned. I asked Ministers today to back places like Bicester with youth funding, where a low-cost solution could make a real difference.

The huge pile of illegally dumped waste by the A34 in Kidlington is utterly shocking. Yesterday a Govt Minister agreed to meet me, I will ask her to step in to remove this terrifying environmental risk. I’ve also raised this as an urgent matter with the Chief Exec of the Environment Agency.

Victims of domestic abuse deserve real protection, not promises. The Government must ensure it properly funds probation services and electronic tagging to keep survivors safe after perpetrators are released.

White Ribbon Day matters. Violence against women and girls will only end when men take responsibility for changing the culture that allows it. I’m proud to speak out on #WhiteRibbonDay and every day to help build a safer world for our children.

Southill Solar gets it right: work with locals, deliver local benefit. Botley West is vast, with weak engagement and thin benefit. The Planning Inspectorate called missing info “very disappointing”. With the Secretary of State now deciding, these concerns must be weighed.

LA farmer Kaden Cable castigates Trump for abandoning farmers: "Trump cut billions of dollars from federal programs that funded small farmers. We've just been left to the winds. Trump doesn't care about people like me or like you. He treats us like we're bugs on the sidewalk and laughs at us."

While we appreciate Governor Lombardo giving @nsea.bsky.social credit for helping to kill the #HollywoodHandout, we think he should place more blame on Jeremy Aguero, an unregistered lobbyist, who clearly didn't lobby hard enough behind the scenes to discredit the non-partisan fiscal staff. #NVLeg

So going back to American Nightmare...don't ask how my brain works. I don't know what goes on up there

May 15, 2002: Jason Kidd's alley oop to Kenyon Martin puts the finishing touches on New Jersey's 103-95 win over the Charlotte Hornets in Game 5 of the ECSF. Kidd had 23 PTS/13 AST/7 REB/5 STL and Martin had 14 PTS/8 REB as the Nets advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

WATCH: While rhetoric disparaging Islam is not new, “there's an unabashed nature to it,” right now, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in an interview airing Friday. “It is being echoed from the highest offices in this country,” he tells @amnanawaz.bsky.social. “They do so without any sense of shame.”

Do you see a difference between a church that’s active… and one that’s alive? Can a church be busy, historic, and well-known… and still be spiritually dead? Jesus seems to think so (Revelation 3:1). What do you think?

Fun chess match at the end of Hawks/Knicks. Brunson was trying to get the Okongwu matchup almost every time down. Hawks mixed coverages up very nicely to try and keep him off balance. Sprinkled in hedges, hedge-and-unders, blitzing, switching, hard doubling.
