Very upsetting events in Manchester today. And I particularly don’t want to hear from Trump, Vance or Musk about it.

Yet another Ed Davey media interview where the interviewer asks "why are you so invisible!" despite the media itself giving almost no attention to the party. Perhaps I was naive, but I really did think that winning the largest number of Liberal seats in a century would have changed that.

Too many of my Bath constituents are caught out by unclear signage and unfair fines by private parking companies.
What's more, the shift to app-based payment systems can make parking inaccessible for elderly and vulnerable residents.
That's why I'm calling for stronger private parking regulations👇

Hugely misleading headline in the Daily Mail. This only applies to Indian workers who are seconded to the UK from a company based in India on a short term basis. India nationals applying for jobs based in the UK will not benefit from this convention and it does not disadvantage UK workers

Immigration is not the problem it’s now widely believed to be.
Brexit is much more of a problem than it’s reported to be.
So how can govt achieve growth, fix public svcs and deal with the cost of living if fear of Reform means it won’t be honest with us about these 2 elephants in the room?
It can’t.

Yup..time to tell Trump we no longer want him telling us what we can and can’t do.
There is a pathetic and demeaning willingness in the UK and Europe to hang on Trump’s every word, and fantasise that somehow he will save Ukraine and the rest of us.
