The King’s Speech should have shown the Government had listened. Instead, it was a missed opportunity. Across Bicester and Woodstock, people face rising bills, stretched councils, housing without the infrastructure to match and no serious plan for social care. Britain needs bold change.

Ed Davey is right to boycott Trump’s state banquet. The suffering in Gaza cannot be ignored. Trump has the leverage to bring peace - and Keir Starmer must urge him to act.

After repeated Lib Dem calls, Ofwat is finally being scrapped. But ministers must go further. I challenged the Environment Secretary on sewage monitoring and backed the Evenlode Partnership’s citizen science.

If senior officials were being lent on behind ministers’ backs, that is deeply concerning. And if civil servants are then left to carry the can, that only risks further damaging trust. Serious questions to answer here about process, accountability & culture in Government.

Family court delays are leaving families thousands of £ out of pocket, with no route to recover those costs when hearings are pulled at the last minute. I pressed the minister to explain what the Govt is doing to tackle these delays & the financial strain they place on families.

“People used to say that the US was the world’s policeman. Some people will be wondering today whether Donald Trump is now behaving like the world’s hit man.” My comments on LBC this morning, urging the Government not to let the UK get drawn into this illegal, unilateral war.

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.

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.

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.

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%.

Cheers! This Throwback Thursday, we're looking back to this fun moment – when Dr. Jane had some bourbon with Stephen Colbert. Known for her work with wild chimpanzees, and her landmark research that forever changed science, Dr. Jane also knew how to have fun. Video: CBS

We’re so glad carrying naloxone is becoming more normalized, BUT we want to emphasize the importance of rescue breathing during an overdose too. After you administer that first dose of RiVive 3 mg, rescue breathing is important to supply oxygen to the brain of the person you are reviving.

Our country has gone to hell. Ice cream isn’t even anything close to cream. If these bozos like it, they can eat it. America, you’ve become a third world country. All in the name of greed.

We are heartened to see that for the first time in 12 years, the U.S bishops issued a joint statement addressing the current situation impacting immigrants in our nation. We thank Pope Leo for leading the way and them for lending their voice to the voiceless and for standing up for human dignity.
