It's now clear that this was never about the interests of the Venezuelan people or the wider world. This is Trump serving his own interests and ego, making the world far more dangerous in the process. Starmer must convene the UN Security Council to hold Trump to account.

Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela.
Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe.
Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

Every year, people mock this tree. But I love it anyway.
It reminds us that if we stand together in tough times, we can overcome anything.
Merry Christmas from my family to yours. 🎄✨

I’ve been proud to stand with Somerset farmers to protest against the family farm tax.
Today’s announcement that the threshold will be raised from £1m to £2.5m is welcome progress. But the tax must still be scrapped. With LibDem colleagues I’ll continue to fight for this.

The decades long neglect of #pwME is a great injustice and we are all poorer for it. I’m proud to be one of the 72 LibDem MPs who have fought to address this. And I know that I’m not alone in committing to continuing the fight to see real change in 2026.
December 22nd. Thank you for being #ThereForME, Sir Ed Davey & the Lib Dems @libdems.org.uk!
This year the LibDems have been key players championing the need for improved support for people with ME in parliament. Nominated by Jonah Weisz @weiszguy.bsky.social ✨

My reflections after today’s APPG ME meeting….
‘As we look to 2026, it’s clear that there’s plenty that needs MPs’ engagement. Across the ME community there’s so much shared lived experience and analysis to inform the work that we do. So, let’s get on with it! Let’s all work together next year!

Pleased to support my colleague Al Pinkerton's UK-EU Customs Union Bill. A new customs union would provide a genuine opportunity for growth, through a bespoke trade deal with the EU - hugely benefiting trade in the South West - and my colleagues and I will continue to campaign for this.

Next Wednesday’s APPG ME meeting will focus on what members could do to promote two key issues:
1. Provision of specialist services for v severe ME
2. Better research funding.
Hoping that MPs will respond to constituents’ concerns and turn out as they did for the debate on ME. Nudges welcome 😉.

👇🏽 Exciting news! But I know that whilst important, it’s an early step, with a long road ahead. Interested to understand what needs to happen next and how U.K. government could help… so that eventually we have treatments and diagnostics for the too many #pwME.
