Great to be in Brighton today and listen to ideas for supporting businesses here. I want to draw Sussex together and make it a place to do business.
Got a business based in Sussex? I'd love to hear how we could support you and grow our economy. Email me at: ben.dempsey@sussexlibdems.org.uk

We have to stand up for our British institutions like the BBC.
There is a reason people like President Trump and Nigel Farage want to bring the BBC down.
That would make it easier for them to spread their misinformation unchallenged.

🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA

Great to join Jess Brown-Fuller MP in Chichester. She's delivering for West Sussex on fighting to stop sewage dumps, the local hospital, and the cost of living. With five Lib Dem MPs working hard in their communities, we have the positive momentum to stop Reform UK's divisive politics across Sussex

Chichester’s St Wilfrid’s hospice provides end-of-life and palliative care but receives inadequate funding from government to meet the demand for its beds. Hospice care is in crisis.
With support from Lib Dem colleagues, I've urged the Health Secretary to urgently address the hospice care crisis.
We can't accept a diminishing service where care is rationed and fundraising lags.
Thousands need relief, and we must do better.

Good question from @willforster.bsky.social, and relevant to local elections to West Sussex County Council, which were cancelled in May 2025.
The PM’s answer indicates that elections in Surrey will be cancelled again. Will elections take place to WSCC in May 2026, or will they be cancelled again?
