This is Keir Starmer’s moment to stand up for Britain and call on Trump to drop his ludicrous lawsuit against the BBC.
The Prime Minister has spent months cosying up to Trump. If he can’t stop him from attacking one of our most precious institutions, what was it all for?

The BBC belongs to Britain, but Trump wants to tear it down.
We can’t allow the Trumpification of our politics or our media.

I’m delighted to say that Hannah Griffin has been elected to the Vale of White Horse District Council! 🥳
She’ll be a fantastic councillor for the people and businesses of Ridgeway ward as someone firmly rooted in her community.

Pleased to announce that I've been elected as President of Liberal Democrats for Electoral Reform.
Excited to continue the work that @sarahjolney1 has already done in her role. It's time for progress on issues such as votes at 16, voter ID & wider electoral reform.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

We must continue to back Ukraine’s reconstruction, whilst supporting those who have built their lives here.

Access to sport and leisure spaces is vital for communities nationwide, and must be supported and funded.

Many constituents added their names to the e-petition asking the Government to ensure statutory maternity and paternity pay matches the National Living Wage.
Last week in Parliament, I spoke up for higher statutory payments, as the current levels don’t give new parents the support they need.

With cycling being my main mode of transport across the constituency and beyond, I know first-hand the dangers of headlight glare.
The Government must update its road safety strategy to include vehicle lighting. It’s time to make our roads safer for everyone.

Today my thoughts are with everyone affected by the dreadful attack near Huntingdon - the victims, their loved ones, and everyone who witnessed it. We're all hoping those injured make a full recovery.
Grateful to the passengers and emergency services who showed such bravery.

We just stopped Nigel Farage’s plan to drag Britain out of the ECHR and tear up people’s rights. Farage wanted to scrap Churchill’s legacy and bring us closer to Trump's America.

Yesterday, I led a debate on the Government’s proposed cuts to the IB. These cuts would have a real impact on students and their families in my constituency, and I made sure to share my constituents' concerns in Parliament.

I’ve heard from many learners, instructors & families anxious about long waits for driving tests.
After raising this with the Future of Roads Minister, I have been told DVSA will add 10,000 extra tests a month & recruit 450 new examiners.
I’ll be keeping an eye on progress.

With the budget fast approaching, clarity on reforms and funding is urgently needed, and I will continue to push for this.

Great news: funding has finally been secured to upgrade the Cowley Branch Line.
This is a really positive step forward for Oxfordshire.
We need to learn from and replicate this collaborative approach on other desperately needed rail infrastructure, such as Grove station.

Last Friday, I had the privilege of visiting Fitzwaryn School, which is the only special school in Didcot and Wantage constituency.
I will continue to press for more special schools, along with more funding, so that we can better support young people with special educational needs.

This morning, I secured a commitment from the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to help unblock the GP surgery in Great Western Park.
Constituents in and around Didcot desperately need the new GP surgery, which was promised back in 2008, yet still remains a barren patch of land.

Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.
