The government promised to hand power back to communities. But their current approach to devolution involves scrapping local councils like Cheltenham and placing power in the hands of regional mayors who will be more distant from communities. 1/2

It was kind of Robert Jenrick to set me up for an obvious joke at his expense.

Small & medium sized businesses in Cheltenham shouldn’t shoulder the burden of national economic failures anymore. Last week’s budget ignored Brexit’s impact & chose to penalise business owners even more. I shared stories of two Cheltenham business owners during my Budget Debate speech yesterday 1/2
Our democracy can only work if every vote counts. Five-party politics is firmly established in the UK (6 in Scotland & Wales). Labour & Conservatives must face reality: people demand proportional voting. I challenged the government on electoral reform so voices are heard equally & seats match votes.
Last week I shared my concerns about the confusion around impending Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) and devolution for our area. I asked the Leader of the House of Commons if he agreed with me that current proposals don't make sense. 1/3
Polls suggest that Nigel Farage is heading for 10 Downing Street on a vote share of just 30%. It beggars belief that Labour is still committed to an outdated, undemocratic voting system that would see the hard right stroll into government on a minority of the vote.
I was invited to appear on Sky News Politics Hub earlier this week. I challenged the idea that drilling in the North Sea would make our energy bills cheaper. It will make almost no difference to our bills. The Lib Dem plan to decouple wholesale gas prices from our energy bills would do so much more.
🚨Campaign progress🚨 After working hard in Parliament to lobby ministers for the £71.5m funding needed to upgrade J10 of the M5, I visited the construction compound. The project will unlock thousands of jobs at Golden Valley & help our town thrive in future. It’s brilliant to see work underway.
Where we have led on calling for closer integration with Europe, others are following - including senior members of government. Our allies are more important than ever. Liberal Democrats will continue to make the case for closer relations with Europe to boost our economy, defence and security.
I’ve been speaking up for local maternity services since before I was elected as Cheltenham’s MP. Today, I asked the Prime Minister for reassurance that a temporary downgrade of the Aveta Birth Centre in 2022 under a Conservative government will not become permanent under Labour. 1/2
The government is ignoring the massive Brexit problem while putting up taxes and attacking businesses. Who is benefitting? Nigel Farage as usual. My speech in today's budget debate 👇
I'm hoping for "spades in the ground sometime this summer” – that’s what I told BBC Radio Gloucestershire when we spoke about the latest progress towards the Golden Valley development. Final planning for the first phase of the Golden Valley development was submitted last week. 1/3

“Bolsonarista raiz” virou ex-bolsonarista. Acordou?. Não duvido que ainda seja eleitor dos filhos. Não existe bolsonarista enganado. Aquilo de que ele se queixa no vídeo, o ex-presidiário da Papudinha já demonstrava em seu histórico como deputado federal inútil e incompetente. 1/2⤵️

Just sharing a video clip of our little reminder to the whole Church yesterday of the need to act and speak out much more powerfully on climate change. We went to Westminster Abbey, but it is the whole Church that needs to act. The lives of all God’s people and all Creation should matter to us.
youtu.be/liAmOlcdT14 “I’m not going backwards, so I’m going forward.” In case you missed it: last week on Hot Seat: Media Monday with Ron Klopfanstein on 95.5 FM The Heat 🔥, we shared the story of a woman experiencing homelessness who is receiving services and working to rebuild her life.
My Maw surprised me this morning with the news that not only would I be going to the vet for my post op check-up today, but that my breakfast would be delayed as well. 😳😲 Dear #dogsofbluesky , do you not agree that I should have been informed SOONER? 😒 #Wally #KubrickStare
I don't care what you think about BE or Hasan, so don't bother telling me. The larger point BE is making here is the problem with liberal Zionism, however: it can condemn Netanyahu, say the right things about Gaza, and still fail to treat the Israeli war industry as fundamentally disqualifying.
America just saw biggest expat waves ever — the 4% rule explains why. If you spend $50K/year, you only need $1.25M to potentially retire forever. Many Americans hit that number… and immediately leave. Lower costs, cheaper healthcare, safer cities, better quality of life. Watch: linktw.in/EzVNgq
