On International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, I want to say to the LGBT+ community: I hear you, I get it, I stand with you, and the Liberal Democrats will never stop fighting to build a country and a world where you are truly free to be who you are.

“Marking VE Day isn’t about glorifying war. It’s about honouring peace. It’s about remembering what can happen when hatred goes unchecked, when division is fuelled rather than healed, and when freedom is under threat” writes @jessbrownfullermp.bsky.social www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/opinion...

Parliament must get a vote on the government’s deal with the US. Blocking MPs from having a vote would be Trumpian tactics, plain and simple.

Liberal Democrats have overtaken the Conservatives at these local elections. Now we're on track to replace them next General Election as well. People have put their faith in us because they are appalled by the Conservatives lurching to extremes and cosying up to Nigel Farage.

My warmest congratulations to Mark Carney. Voters in Canada have elected a Liberal government on a mandate to combat Trump's dangerous populism. Across the globe, it is liberals who are taking the lead in standing up for prosperity, security and democracy in the face of Trump, Putin and the rest.

Important by-election next week in Midhurst, West Sussex. For Chichester District Council the LibDem candidate is bright, young @dominicmerritt.bsky.social. For West Sussex County Council is seasoned campaigner Yvonne Gravely. Both candidates are eager to serve you. Get out and #Vote!

Chichester Harbour is a “National Landscape” (AONB) and SSSI. @naturalengland.bsky.social has declared its status as “in decline” due to increasing levels of water pollution. It’s time for central government to end the #SewageScandal.

Pope Francis’ passing is a profound loss to millions across the world. He was a leader of compassion and courage, speaking up for those in need and calling for peace in a world too often divided.

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.

Parents are being forced to watch their little ones cry through the night, all because the NHS dental system has been left to rot. It's a national disgrace. It's time for the Labour government to show some ambition and turn this around, starting with a total overhaul of the dental contract.

Tackling rural crime is a big challenge in the Bourne Division of West Sussex County Council, with hare coursing and thefts of valuable farm machinery by organised gangs. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk’s proposals make sense.

We have to stand tall with our allies in Canada and Europe against Trump's tariffs and show that Britain will not be bullied. That means preparing potential tariffs including on Elon Musk's Teslas, and urgently negotiating a better trade deal with the EU.

🦷 Today I sat down with my colleagues Danny Chambers and Alison Bennett to discuss dentistry with Eddie Crouch, the Chair of the British Dental Association. Over 12 million people in the UK are without an NHS dentist and the dental contract, which is fundamentally flawed, needs urgent reform.

How can this government justify cutting this allowance for #UnpaidCarers? Centre for Care research found that the economic value of the support provided by unpaid carers in England and Wales is an estimated £162 billion per year, 29% more in real terms than 2011.
