The Chancellor missed a lot of opportunities to turn the corner in today's budget. Freezing tax thresholds will hurt families already struggling, Sussex businesses should have been backed, and crucially Brexit damage is still being ignored. My reaction to the budget👇

The government say there needs to be strong justification for delaying Sussec council elections again. I hope they will tell Sussex Tories that wanting to cling onto power isn’t that. It’s time for elections, it’s time for change in Sussex. Read their reply to my call for votes to go ahead 👇

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

Sussex is brilliant, and people here deserve a positive plan for what's next. We need a Mayor who gets our communities and will fight hard to make this amazing county even better. Great to listen and chat with residents in Maidenbower (Crawley), Broadbridge Heath, and Horsham this weekend.

We must let Sussex have its say!

Council elections have to go ahead in May.

Great to be out meeting people in Haywards Heath over the weekend, supporting our fantastic town council candidate, Caroline Ward.

I listened to residents’ views on transport, the town centre and other issues.

Here’s an article with my views about why the Chancellor is wrong in her attitude to nature in Sussex - and why we need a strong Mayor stand up for our county.

If you are fed up with the two old parties letting you down.

If you are scared of the rise of racism and extremism.

If you believe in decency, tolerance and the rule of law.

Join us.

Because we believe in the British people.

We love our country.

And together, we can change it for good.

It was great to be out in Newhaven today, meeting people and listening to their concerns.

I am honoured to have been selected as the Lib Dem candidate for Mayor of Sussex.

I want to win with unity, not division, promoting a prosperous and green future for our county.

Many people have lost all faith in politics, it's time we restored some hope.
