Almost a week since @werahobhouse.bsky.social was refused entry to Hong Kong, there are still no answers from authorities as to why. With new reports of Ministers preparing trips to Beijing, I fear the Foreign Sec is turning a blind eye. I've written again to David Lammy to urge action.

These figures show an industry that is failing us all. We are all paying more, but firms are failing to stop the onslaught of sewage. The Tories didn’t act and Labour are dragging their feet. We urgently need a new regulator, and a ban on bonuses for the executives. buff.ly/N9qkTnN

Trump’s tariffs and Brexit red tape are hammering British manufacturers—I saw it firsthand today with @iansollom.bsky.social at a factory making vital components for the car industry. We need to stand up to Trump’s trade war and secure a UK–EU customs union to protect British businesses.

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.

No Mr Trump. Russia started the war.

Spent the afternoon on a farm with @CalumMillerLD.bsky.social, speaking to the farmers who keep Britain fed — and of course they didn’t let us go hungry either. 🇬🇧

I have written to David Lammy to ask him to summon the Chinese Ambassador after @WeraHobhouse.bsky.social was refused entry to Hong Kong when visiting her family, apparently simply because she is a British MP. China should not be allowed to undermine our democracy.

Wera just wanted to visit her son in Hong Kong and meet her baby grandson for the first time. But after a 13-hour flight, the Chinese authorities turned her away – just because she’s a British MP. So heartless. And totally unacceptable.

Farage and Badenoch cheered on the Trump administration. They owe British steelworkers an apology. We’re waiting…

Paddling the Severn with @HelenMorganLibDem.bsky.social, I was strictly told not to fall in. After what water companies have been dumping here, I didn't need convincing! Ofwat is failing badly. We need a tough new Clean Water Authority that actually holds the water companies to account.

This is Donald Trump’s Liz Truss moment. Now let's stand firm with our allies and make him drop his reckless tariffs altogether.

Over the weekend, I visited Eilean Dubh Care Home with @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk and @angusmacdonaldld.bsky.social — a home that shows how much difference good care can make. Angus is a great champion for the Highlands’ care homes, making the case for urgent investment and support.

So proud to join Alex Cole-Hamilton in welcoming former Conservative MSP Jamie Greene to the Liberal Democrat family. He speaks for so many voters who feel abandoned by Kemi Badenoch's Conservatives as they chase Nigel Farage to ever more extreme politics

Trump has hit the Falklands with 42% tariffs in an outrageous act of aggression. This cannot be allowed to stand. The Prime Minister should invite the Falklands Governor for an urgent meeting to discuss how to fight back and protect their jobs and businesses.

Despite backing the US in every major conflict this century—and offering to water down our tax on US tech billionaires—we’ve been rewarded with the same tariffs as Iran. It’s like we’re meant to be grateful Trump gave our friends a black eye and left us with just a wedgie.

My statement on Trump’s reckless trade war.

"In many cases the friend is worse than the foe" Trump says. If my friends were Elon Musk, JD Vance, Vladimir Putin and Nigel Farage, I’d probably feel the same way.

After days and days of coverage and debate Nigel Farage has said nothing about his idol Donald Trump - there was absolutely no danger he would ask a question about these dangerous tariffs #PMQs

As Trump’s damaging trade war continues to escalate, We need an economic coalition of the willing to champion free trade and stand firm against Trump’s reckless tariffs. Today I urged the Prime Minister to lead that effort alongside our allies.

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.

Farage wants you to eat chlorinated chicken just so he can keep licking the boots of his idol Donald Trump. It's so pathetic and unpatriotic.

The Government cannot go ahead with cutting taxes for tech billionaires like Elon Musk while slashing support for disabled people and carers. This is simply about fairness.

I asked the Prime Minister to order an urgent review into our intelligence-sharing arrangements with the US. He didn't think Trump officials accidentally sharing classified info with a journalist is something to take seriously...

Very disappointed that the Prime Minister doesn’t think sharing British intelligence with an unreliable ally is a serious matter. #PMQs

Trump’s White House can't be trusted. Their reckless approach to security means it’s only a matter of time before British intelligence is leaked. The Government must urgently review our intelligence-sharing arrangements with the US.

JD Vance and his mates clearly aren’t fit to run a group chat, let alone the world’s strongest military force. It has to make our security services nervous about the intelligence we’re sharing with them.

The UK and our NATO allies will never forget the sacrifice of 43 Danish soldiers in Afghanistan after 9/11. But it appears JD Vance has.
