The Howard of Effingham community is deeply disappointed after developers withdrew from a long‑promised new school build. Today, I tried to get a Prime Ministers Question on this. Whilst I was unsuccessful on this occasion, I want to reassure all those affected it is at the top of my priority list.

It was a joy to visit the WI Vintage Tea Party at East Horsley Village Hall earlier this month. A fantastic afternoon tea with live entertainment as part of Age UK's 'Silver Sunday' celebrating older people and their contribution to society.
Reform have suspended 4 cllrs on Kent CC after the leaked video exposing their divisions.
Lib Dems say Reform's meetings "sound more like an episode of The Traitors than the running of a major council."
"All that's missing is for Claudia Winkleman to appear & ask who they're going to banish next."
If Reform win a seat in a by-election it’s rammed down our throats by BBC as a major headline and report on their main page..
And yet the @libdems.org.uk win 6 seats in Surrey and it’s buried away hush hush 🤫
I only came across it by chance just now ..

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.
Share this and speak up for your freedoms.
If you value your human rights and want to remain under the protection of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), maybe it’s time to vote and or join the Lib Dems who are the party that will stand up to protect those rights.

Leaving the ECHR would allow the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, Sick Pay, Maternity Pay, Paid Holiday and working hour limits to all be abolished.
They would make hundreds of billions from this.
That is what they want.
Closer ties with the EU are good for the UK. But Farage won't admit it.
“Nigel Farage and the Tories want to rip up a deal that benefits jobs and bills in the UK, and all because they are incapable of bringing themselves to have any relationship with Europe."

A hideous, and for traumatised British Jews profoundly unhelpful, expression of allyship & agreement with a violent, racist, serial criminal & former member of an avowedly anti-Semitic organisation from the *Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs* and so, as Sunder says, the Israeli government. 1/3
Perfect, thanks. Voted and reposted. If it's anything like previous polls, you can vote as often as you like as long as you don't provide the requested
email address.
If you are a non-White person do not vote Reform.
If you are on ANY benefits do not vote Reform.
If you are disabled do not vote Reform.
If you are a pensioner do not vote Reform.
If you ever want to have Healthcare do not vote Reform.
You are all on Nigel Farage's list.
When I was young, being a carer simply wasn’t talked about. We’ve come a long way since then, but government still all too often ignores the millions of carers across Britain.
I was proud to write the foreword to this IPPR report calling for real and transformative change.

James O'Brien, "The scenes on Saturday were striking, the numbers very high, but a fraction of the turnout of the please don't leave the EU marches"
"No matter that the problems were literally caused by Brexit"
Musk’s speech at march denounced as ‘disgusting and inappropriate
Ed Davey has written to Starmer, Badenoch and Farage, “urging them to join me in condemning Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence and to consider sanctions against the billionaire.

The whiplash from blaming the extreme militant antifa assassin/gun-banning, trans, immigrant left to feeling sorry for a lost white boy (grown ass man) is extraordinary…
Please get over this fever soon, America. You need to heal something real bad.
This too should be in the Media non-stop for a week until Nigel Farage is forced to resign.
Not a single Reform UK MP attended today's Commons statement on child rape gangs.
“We reject the far right’s racist lies about ‘protecting’ women and girls. They are not defenders of women – they exploit violence against women to fuel hate and division.”

The billionaire press barons must be having a right laugh…
Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population)
Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK
Immigration isn’t draining us
Inequality is.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care.
In the 1950's, 60's and 70's when things needed to be done the Government did them.
Now they beg billionaires to do them and give them vast sums of money.
And nothing gets done.
Let's bin the billionaires.

Alongside colleagues I've written to the Minister for Women & Equalities about the appointment of the new EHRC Chair.
We share the concerns that both the JCHR and WEC had during the pre-appointment hearing.
The EHRC urgently needs to rebuild trust with all communities.
