I’m really pleased to be offering advice surgeries across the new constituency of #Glastonbury and #Somerton.
Advice surgeries are one of many ways you can reach out to your MP for help. If you need me - just drop me a message and I’ll ensure you get the support you need.

BREAKING: In a stunning admission, one of the most conservative Senators, Senator James Lankford, admits that it was Donald Trump who sabotaged the toughest border security legislation proposed in decades. Retweet to make sure every American sees this.

I will be asking @thameswater for a full report on what went wrong and what they are doing to mitigate the harm.

This - from Private Eye - illustrates why it was reasonable to question the sentence lengths given to the Stop Oil protestors @RestIsPolitics

The double standards are off the scale, and give you an idea of what power really thinks. My column on why racist rioters get shorter sentences than peaceful environmental protesters.

Congratulations to everyone receiving their A level, T level and BTEC exam results today!
If you didn’t do quite as well as you had hoped, don’t panic.
This is just the beginning and your future isn’t determined by a single set of results.

Congrats to everyone getting their A-Level results today. On to the next chapter—good luck! #ALevelResults2024

Liberal Democrat Councilors get results ! Even if it means they end up having to do the work themselves, as Lambeth Council seem incapable of keeping our streets clean, and free of weeds.
Well done Donna @LibDemDonna and Matthew Bryant ! #Streatham
Since being elected we have been asking @lambeth_council for better provision for weed clearing in the borough.
Yesterday Cllr Bryant and myself cleared thorny weeds the size of small children on Sternhold Avenue.
This is not good enough and not the best use of Cllrs time!

Getting everyone out of cars they'll buy anyway, needs a Fair Deal on public transport.
It needs capacity - Tory cancellation of HS2 dealt a blow to that and @UKLabour must solve the issue.
And it needs reliability.
@LibDems turn next for a Fair Deal
I get the train between London and Bath every week, and cannot remember the last journey not beset by delays or complications.
And yet, prices could rise by nearly £600 next year.
We @libdems are pushing for a fare freeze - as passengers shouldn't be paying more for less👇

The Lib Dems want an inquiry to examine how social media has been used to organise riots and incite violence, as well as the impact of conspiracy theories and misinformation spread online. independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

🚆 Nearly 15,000 cancellations
🚦 Over 37,000 signal failures
Since 2018, passengers have endured nearly 1 million minutes of delays. It's why we're calling for a freeze on rail fares to stop passengers paying more for a poor service.
It's time to put passengers first.

Brazen water companies pay bonuses while hiking bills.
“… if the companies stopped doling out extra money to execs amid the “catalogue of failure”, some 20,373 customers would not need to pay more to plug any financial shortfall.”
@timfarron @Feargal_Sharkey
Charles Watson, chairman @RiverActionUK said: “These water companies have been systematically breaking the law over many years through repeated illegal sewage discharges.
“It beggars belief that a business that is being subject to these huge fines for such illegal activity could even think it reasonable to reward their CEOs with massive bonuses …”
