I am horrified by the images of a mosque in Peacehaven burning after a suspected arson attack.
Everyone should be able to worship free from fear and terror.
Islamophobia is totally unacceptable. Those who spread hatred and incite violence against Muslim communities must stop.

I am horrified by the attack on the mosque in Peacehaven last night.
My thoughts are with those affected and the whole Muslim community, both here in Sussex and nationally.
The vast majority of people reject political and religious violence, and want to build a peaceful future together.

Britain must not let Donald Trump silence Palestine at the UN.
Alongside @eddavey.libdems.org.uk and Liberal Democrat colleagues, I have written to the PM urging him to press Trump to reverse this reckless decision – and if he refuses, for Britain to step up and lead.

It should be simple: people who cheer on violence in the UK can't enrich themselves with British taxpayers’ money.
That means Elon Musk – no government contracts for you, no energy supply license for you.
