David Lammy was right in 2020 when he called the jury system fundamental to our constitution.
Now the government wants to remove juries from all but the most serious cases. It is dangerous and wrong and the Prime Minister must reverse it.

I led the Liberal Democrats’ response to the Government’s Devolution Bill, which falls far short of its promises. Instead of empowering local communities, it centralises authority in Mayors, and will leave councils saddled with debt and set up to fail. I called them out on this.

I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk.
That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

Yesterday marked a major step in my campaign to ban BBQ’s. I presented my petition, signed by over a thousand residents.
2025 has been the worst year on record for wildfires, with over 900 in Dorset. Disposable BBQ’s are often the cause.
