Really important that legal advice is fully followed and that the government act with utmost caution.
The government needs to publish any legal advice received around involvement in the conflict with Iran.
The last thing we need is for the UK to be dragged into another illegal war in the Middle East by the US.

Last night, @LisaSmartMP.bsky.social tabled an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill to hold water company managers liable for missing pollution commitment levels.
It was voted down by the government. It’s so disappointing that Labour MPs have voted to let these executives off scot free.

Yet Lib Dems & Greens who also had spectacular results don’t get a plug/never get a plug. WHY do we allow these one sided narratives?Sign now petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Blocking MPs from voting on a US trade deal would be straight out of Trump's anti-democratic playbook.
Labour MPs should make clear to the PM they won't let him sell out our NHS, undercut farmers or weaken protection for children online. He must give Parliament a vote.

Lib Dems will be campaigning hard in #Buckinghamshire to end decades of Conservative control and arrogance.
The delay of so many local elections is a disgraceful stitch-up between Labour and the Conservatives.
Where elections are still happening, the Liberal Democrats will campaign hard to build on last year’s historic election wins and give communities the strong voice they deserve.
