Really not sure why Labour doesn't understand that when it comes to immigration and asylum, however many offerings it lays on the altar of Nigel Farage, the Reform gods will not be satisfied. Why squander its credibility and shred its values in chasing a far right populist party it will never catch?

We’ve been calling for the failing regulator Ofwat to be abolished for years.
Now it’s time to go further, with a new regulator to clean up the Wild West water industry for good.
Liberal Democrats will not stop fighting until these failing companies are properly held to account.

According to Kemi Badenoch, a Lib Dem is someone who’s good at fixing their church roof and is liked by their community.

Kemi Badenoch says Lib Dems are people who fix church roofs. Yes: that’s why we’re popular and she isn‘t | Ed Davey

So why is Labour not saying anything about light rail in these public debates? That’s something you’ll have to ask their mayoral and county council candidates – and MPs too. Image…

With Lib Dem Jack Wheelan this afternoon in Gorefield—some lovely conversations with residents who were pleased to see us on their doorsteps. Jack has the youth and energy to be a fresh voice for Fenland on the county council. A fen boy through and through, he knows the district well.

Well, in this week's canvassing in the area I represent, I've found the nephew of someone I went to school with, and the daughter-in-law of the dentist I was registered with, as a child in Jersey. Amazing who you meet, even on a cold, blustery, and drizzly afternoon.

Out in Northstowe this morning with the lovely Lib Dem team, talking with residents about the issues that matter to them. Stagecoach's price increase, caused by moving Longstanton/Northstowe out of the Town Zone, has caused confusion for passengers with valid flexi tickets bought before the change.
