Had a fantastic time getting some gardening done with @johnmilnehorsham.bsky.social , got to meet with volunteers from Friends of Horsham Park and the Maze garden group at the Strawford Centre. 🌿 Their brilliant work is keeping the parks clean and showing true community spirit in Horsham.

Of all the things Elon Musk has said, this is the worst. We cannot rely on Trump and his shadow president Musk. The UK must boost defence spending and take the lead in Europe.

Trump is on the brink of betraying Ukraine and the UK. Britain must lead in Europe by increasing defence spending immediately and all political parties should get round the table to make that happen. I fear what happens if we don't take this step.

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

When the PM visits the White House next week, he must challenge Trump on his Ukraine lies in the strongest possible terms. It's alarming to see the leader of the free world parroting Putin's propaganda. Trump spoke in Mar-a-Lago but his words could have been written in Moscow.

The Chancellor’s misguided policies have put the economy at risk of a new era of stagflation. The Government's jobs tax and refusal to drop their red lines on a UK-EU Customs Union have snuffed out growth, and now people are being hit in the pocket.

Donald Trump is the President of the United States and the Spokesperson for Vladimir Putin. Only we in the UK and Europe will protect Ukraine.

Family farms are at the heart of our rural communities. Spent today with @steffanaquarone.bsky.social - listening to farmers who fear losing everything. The government must listen to them too, and scrap the Family Farm Tax.

Keir Starmer should bring back Parliament to debate his plans to support Ukraine. We have just days for the UK to lead in Europe and save Ukraine from a shoddy deal cooked up by Trump and Putin.

In principle there should be a vote in Parliament when troops are deployed. I’m confident all sides of the House are likely to agree with the Prime Minister apart from those Trump bootlickers in Reform.

The PM is absolutely right when it comes to the deployment of British troops in Ukraine to uphold any peace deal and deter Putin. The Government must look at reversing the Conservatives' 10k troop cuts asap.

I’m so relieved that Yair Horn has been released from captivity. I will never forget speaking to Yair’s dad Itzik this time last year and the strength which he has shown in unimaginably difficult circumstances. Now we must get Yair’s brother Eitan home to safety too.

If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945. The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.

Trump’s talks with Putin threaten Ukraine’s freedom and Europe’s security. If the US won’t lead, the UK must. The Government must act now – let’s pass an emergency law to seize Russian assets by Monday.

Ukraine has fought too hard for its freedom, only to have its future dictated by Putin and Trump behind closed doors. Any peace must guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty and security on terms acceptable to Ukrainians, not just to Moscow and Mar-a-Lago.

The government should draw up plans for Tesla tariffs to hit Musk where it hurts, if Trump follows through with his threats to the UK steel industry. Trump and Musk can't be allowed to bully the UK while the Conservatives and Nigel Farage cheer them on from the sidelines.

Delighted my constituent Andrea has won her long battle with the DWP over Carer’s Allowance repayments, but it should never have come to this. Thousands of carers like Andrea are caught up in this scandal. This ruling should be the turning point.

Trump’s threat of tariffs puts workers in our great British steel industry at risk. Keir Starmer must call a Four Nations summit with leaders across the UK to protect our economy from Trump’s damaging trade war.

The way DWP has treated Andrea and thousands of carers like her makes my blood boil. The Carer’s Allowance repayments scandal has dragged on far too long, and ministers urgently need to put things right.

When we need a fragile truce in Gaza to hold, Trump’s dangerous ramblings about displacing 1.8 million people only make things worse. At PMQs, I told Keir Starmer he must be clear: these proposals must be rejected, and we must continue to support a two-state solution.

The delay of so many local elections is a disgraceful stitch-up between Labour and the Conservatives. Where elections are still happening, the Liberal Democrats will campaign hard to build on last year’s historic election wins and give communities the strong voice they deserve.

At a moment when we desperately need a fragile truce to hold, Trump’s ramblings on Gaza risk having the effect of a bull in a china shop. The UK needs to make clear that these proposals must be rejected, and that we support international law and a two state solution based on 1967 borders.

Donald Trump’s attempts to bully Denmark over Greenland, threatening a NATO ally with military force, are unacceptable and wrong. Keir Starmer should make clear our total solidarity when he meets with his Danish counterpart today.

The UK mustn’t let Donald Trump bully us or our ally Canada. We need to work with our allies in Europe and around the world to stand up to him. The Prime Minister should invite Commonwealth leaders to London to discuss a joint response to Trump’s global trade war.

Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves claim to be looking everywhere for opportunities for growth but are ignoring the solution right under their noses. A new UK-EU Customs Union would turbocharge our economy, tearing down the trade barriers holding British businesses back.

The UK needs to lead in Europe again. We can't rely on Trump, and Labour hasn't shown the urgency or ambition to fix our relationship with our closest neighbours. A UK-EU customs union is the first step repairing that relationship. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-cost-starme…
