I wrote a guest post for Liberal England. A subject close to my heart - county cricket outgrounds. Blogroll courtesy of @lordbonkers

Don't get me wrong, as a @LibDems I eat, sleep and breathe coalitions, however I think it's going to be a bit awks for Likud to be forming a coalition with the Arab parties #IsraelElection

Renewables producing over 25 GW for several hours today. Another strong performance #NetZero
On this day in 1991 @U2's The Fly went straight in at No 1 in the UK singles chart, thus ending Bryan Adams' 16-week reign. I bought it in several formats to make sure

Yet another @LibDems policy win. Great to see the lives of a really marginalised and isolated group get a little easier
Carer’s allowance cliff edge rule to be scrapped - this is welcome news and something the @LibDems have been pushing for in Parliament. Unpaid carers should never have been hounded over these overpayments and this scandal should never have been allowed to happen.

🚨 Liberal Democrats have revealed that ministers have repeatedly failed to set a deadline for Roman Abramovich's legal team to transfer £2.6 billion in proceeds from the sale of Chelsea Football Club to Ukrainian humanitarian causes.

A big step forward and a testament to all the carers who’ve campaigned against this injustice.
But is the government really saying: if carers get a pay rise or work more hours, it will take back every penny of their extra income? A 100% tax rate? That can’t be right.

One by one Putin's allies across the world are being kicked out of power.
Seems to be part of a pattern . . .

I give this election result a cautious welcome - a lot of Serbia's new government are new to politics and are unknown quantities. I really hope there are no crypto pro-Russian shills in its midst

Subject to official confirmation it looks like another record for Battery Storage feeding into the grid - 3.285 GW. It will be interesting to see how fast this grows in the next few years #NetZero

Still very blowy here after the storm, interesting to see how much solar can contribute well after the equinox. Renewables putting in a strong performance #NetZero

The Liberal Democrats have outlined our plans on how to tackle the threats from Russia.
We need to expand UK shipbuilding, with six new Royal Navy frigates and four new British shipyards to face down future threats.

Excellent summary of the financial black hole Russia is now in, it's used up the financial war chest it built up before the #UkraineRussiaWar started
