Sussex; School Governor, Charity Trustee, Liberal Democrat etc.
Who knew? Obviously you don’t read about this in the media; particularly ignored by the progressive media who spend more column inches Polanski, and the factions in Your Party. Driven partly by flawed opinion polls.
The LIBERAL DEMOCRATS have WON more COUNCIL SEATS than all the other main U.K. wide POLITICAL PARTIES combined totals !

The Lib Dems are the only party going toe-to-toe with Reform U.K. and defying the polls.

I've been up at 5am every Monday for the last three weeks to try and book a driving test for May. There are often 20k people in the queue ahead of me. Really cannot overstate how bad it is.

It’s absolutely shocking that no-one in government is getting to grips with the availability of driving tests. For many people being able to drive is key to finding good jobs. It must be having an impact on our economy www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Driving test touts offer instructors £250 monthly kickbacks
Touts use instructor login details to bulk-book tests and sell them at a huge mark-up, the BBC finds.

Three fantastic Liberal Democrat wins last night in Watford, Devon and Torridge, including a stinking GAIN from the Conservatives, with Reform failing to take the seat.

Huge congratulations to the amazing campaign teams on the ground!

Election after election across the country, it’s either the Liberal Democrats or Reform who are winning.

No wonder Labour & the Tories want to cancel as many elections as possible – but they can’t be allowed to get away with it.

This is our democracy, not their plaything.

It's Lib Dems or Reform for Sussex Mayor.

The choice is clear: I will fight to protect our environment. I'll deliver better public transport, and champion a stronger local economy for everyone. We are the positive alternative. We can win this. Help me win 👇

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👇

Is Reform UK’s success a mirage based on media hype?
Right-wing influencers and the media conspire to create an air of invincibility around Reform, but the recent trajectory is underperformance

An investigation into Russian interference in our politics is long overdue. And we all know who should be questioned first.

I wonder if Nigel Farage will be giving a press conference on this one?

My view as a former MEP is that the UK needs a independent public inquiry into the issues this case raises.

Russian diplomats were always around certain places in Brus and Stras. I don't believe Gill was the only person they targeted.

Over 1,000 men were screened for prostate cancer at an event in Burgess Hill last week organised by the PCaSO Prostate Cancer Support Organisation and the Burgess Hill Lions.

Please get tested and visit your GP if something doesn't seem right:

On Tuesday, I spoke about the urgent need for a national dyslexia strategy. Too many children are being labelled as failures when the system is failing them. We must ensure early diagnosis, proper support in the classroom and fairer assessments for pupils like my constituent, Lucy. buff.ly/YFsTuOf

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

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
