Only the Liberal Democrats can stop the march of reform. Give us your vote, failing that lend it to us.
Change can’t wait
The obtaining of transcripts from family courts can be the difference between justice and injustice, and long delays are pushing people into financial hardship.
I'm glad to hear the government is working on it but I will keep pushing Ministers to ensure change is achieved as fast as possible.
Mid Sussex recently made headlines as Lindfield village was named the best place to live in the South East!
It is great to see Lindfield being celebrated for all it has to offer.

Ed quote tweet graphic that says: Keir Starmer should rule out the UK joining Donald Trump’s latest escalation in his idiotic war. Iran won’t give ships free passage but a unilateral blockade is not the right way to end this. The UK should be working with other countries to get the US and Iran back to the negotiating table, not fanning the flames of war. It’s just days since Trump threatened to destroy a whole civilisation, and a return to war would be disastrous. The Prime Minister needs to work in lock-step with our reliable partners to secure a diplomatic end to this crisis.
Keir Starmer should rule out the UK joining Donald Trump’s blockade in the Strait of Hormuz
This is not just a victory for the people of Hungary, but for all those around the world who believe in international cooperation, democracy and the rule of law 🇭🇺

Local councils should match how we vote. They do in Scotland, N. Ireland and in Wales councils can choose a fairer system.

Donald Trump’s idiotic war with Iran – cheered on by Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage – is meaning you're paying more at the pump.
We want to cut fuel duty by 10p a litre and keep Britain moving.
Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage cheered on Trump’s illegal war in Iran, and now we are all paying the price at the pump.

🚨 WATCH: Ed Davey attacks Keir Starmer for not "embracing" a youth mobility scheme with the EU
"Basically what Labour is saying is 'we don't want your young people in our country'. How awful is that? You can't rebuild trust if you say that... that was a big mistake by Starmer"

📰 In last week's Middy column, I talk about the recent SEND coffee morning that I hosted in Haywards Heath for Mid Sussex residents.

A horrifying antisemitic attack destroying ambulances that volunteers use to serve their community. Just despicable.
Antisemitism has no place in our country. Our Jewish friends should be able to feel safe on Britain’s streets.

🟠 Layla Moran MP: "What is the one thing that is going to properly shift the dial on the economy?"
🇪🇺 "The circumstances since, forget 10 years ago in the Brexit referendum, since the last election have changed. There is an argument for the Labour Party going much further, much faster."
“Nigel Farage does not want to protect our NHS, and we need to make sure that we stop him from dismantling something so important.”
Josh Babarinde on the threat Nigel Farage poses to our NHS.
Proud to speak at the Lib Dem Conference setting out our approach to defence: standing firmly with Ukraine against Putin, restoring trust with our European allies, and fixing procurement to cut waste. In a more unstable world we remain committed to NATO, international law and our nuclear deterrent.
Wrote this for fellow fans of Grosse Point Blank and its sensational soundtrack - and for all the totally delightful ex colleagues and old chums I've seen recently - I say: go to the reunion! www.ft.com/content/6d52...

On Friday I held a coffee morning for parents of SEND children.
We chatted about people's experiences and discussed the government's SEND white paper. If you would like to hear about any future events, or if you think I can help please email: alison.bennett.mp@parliament.uk
Last week Trump said he didn't need Britain's help because he'd already won this war. So we mustn't let him push the UK around now.
Any decision on the deployment of our Armed Forces should be made in the UK's national interest and subject to a vote in Parliament.
