Today, @libdems.org.uk have been proven right all along. It’s good that the government has listened to Lib Dem common sense and reversed some of their worst mistakes.

Trump is further eroding democracy and freedom by sending troops into Los Angeles and escalating tensions. We should be wary of those UK politicians who claim to love freedom whilst cheering on Trump's tyranny.

When we're seeing scenes on a daily basis of countless people, including children, starving and desperate for food, water, medicine - to see Netanyahu's government continue to block supplies is abhorrent. He must fully end the blockade and we need UN aid corridors as soon as possible.

Welcome this long overdue step. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk first called for it 16 months ago. The Government should make clear that it will sanction other extremists in the Netanyahu Cabinet who continue to advocate the violent annexation of Palestinian territory. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

It's good that the Government finally listened to Lib Dem common sense and reinstated Winter Fuel Payments for those on modest incomes. They should now backdate payments to all those now eligible who lost support last winter.

We had a brilliant time at the St Andrew's Church summer fête in Chilcomb - perfect weather, brilliant music, good company and an excellent hog roast. The beautiful little Norman church is the best part of 1000 years old, pre-dating Winchester Cathedral. Definitely worth a visit!

Making sure children are well fed and focused at school is the right thing to do to support families. It's a win for the economy too. If children are supported to succeed in school, they'll do better in life, it'll boost the economy, and we'll save money on things like social care and the NHS.

"Let me say this clearly, dentists are not the problem," says @dannychambers.bsky.social "They're doing the best within a contract that is outdated and damaging." Thanks to @libdems.org.uk for speaking out. We must restore care to millions & make patient-centred, preventive care a reality.

Thousands of children and babies in #Gaza will die of starvation within the next 48 hours. Statements and condemnations will do nothing to convince #Netanyahu to stop his illegal blockades. Britain must: Halt all arms sales to Israel. Recognise the State of Palestine. and get aid into Gaza, now.

We should not be selling any arms to a government clearly in violation of international law. Cut off all arms sales, now.

Thousands of puppies are smuggled into the UK every year, many kept in awful conditions before being sold. @DannyChambers.bsky.social’s bill to stop puppy smuggling will close the import loophole and help end this abuse.

When consumers are already facing a cost-of-living crisis, failing to safeguard food production systems is short-sighted and irresponsible. The EU-UK summit is the government’s chance to fix this. A veterinary medicines agreement must be on the table. www.politics.co.uk/mp-comment/2...

A huge thankyou to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home for inviting me to learn more about their work and meet some of the dogs they're taking care of. Their support for the Animal Welfare Bill has made all the difference as it takes another major step in Parliament to becoming law.

Animals have been suffering at the hands of criminal abusers for far too long. Thanks to cross-party support today, my Animal Welfare Bill can have a bigger impact than I'd ever have hoped to achieve had I remained in veterinary practice treating individual animals.

"...agreed to a reciprocal deal on beef that will see more US meat sold in the UK. The government insisted that British food standards would not be lowered." Our food standards should be a red-line. We need to see the full details of this deal to be sure the government has kept its word.
