🚨 👮♂️ Under the Government’s proposed Rural Crime & Wildlife strategy, the Home Office are planing just £365,000 of funding for the entire country's rural crime units - which works out at around £8,500 per police force!

🚨 💷 With my North Cornwall constituents really feeling the cost of living squeeze, this Government MUST raise the personal tax allowance to put money back into people’s pockets. 👇

🚨 Senior consultants at North Devon District Hospital have now passed a vote of no confidence in the Trust's board, over its handling of the ongoing maternity crisis 👇

Camden Lib Dem group leader Cllr Tom Simon and parliamentary candidates Patrick Stillman and Katie Mansfield:
'With these votes, the Green Party has crossed a line. The rights to manifest one’s religion and of freedom of association are fundamental human rights, and these are now at risk.
'In the Liberal Democrats, we will continue to speak up for the values of liberty, equality and community. We will continue to call for the bold, urgent action needed to tackle climate change. We will make welcome any real Greens who choose to join us.'
The fallout from Green Party conference in Camden is continuing. The Liberal Democrats had been due to work with the Greens to set up a cross-party climate emergency taskforce - announced at last council meeting. That arrangement looks like it now won’t happen as both Lib Dems and Tories won’t work with Greens after ‘Zionism is racism’ motion was passed.

🚨 Brilliant to see our Liberal Democrat Cornwall Councillors rallying together to campaign against the plight of constant (and illegal) sewage dumping onto North Cornwall's beaches.

The Prime Minister’s recognition that Britain needs a much closer relationship with Europe is a step in the right direction, but one that is taking far too long.
Every month of inaction means more trade barriers, lost investment and higher costs. [1/2]

I was so proud to be able to share my family’s refugee story at @LibDems conference.
I’m also proud that my party has always stood firm against the politics of hate.
We are in a battle to keep Britain welcoming, tolerant and liberal.
And it is a fight we will win, together.

Tonight, Southwark Council backed @swklibdems motion on Southwark’s Place in Europe.
We’re proudly European, international & outward-looking.
Southwark will campaign for closer ties with the EU, including a customs union, with the ultimate goal of the UK rejoining the EU 🇪🇺

🚨 Today I took North Cornwall's dental crisis to the national stage at our Liberal Democrat Party conference - calling for urgent 'Dental A&Es' to be set up in every community.

Southwark has some of the highest rates of HIV and STIs in UK. This #SexualHealthWeek I got tested too, to help raise awareness and tackle the stigma around testing.
Looking after your sexual health is part of looking after your health.

Meet Patrick!
The people of Holborn and St Pancras deserve better than politicians treating the constituency as a personal platform.
Liberal Democrats like Patrick will keep serving residents on the issues that matter, not their own ambitions.

🚨 🗣️ Last night I spoke up in Parliament in a major Sewage Debate, specifically on how 80% of hospitalisations from sewage pollution come from beaches rated ‘Excellent’ or ‘Good’ by the Environment Agency.
