Out campaigning in beautiful Sussex where local elections ARE now going ahead despite the local Conservatives trying to cancel them.
Like in so many areas of the country, the Tories and Labour are finished and it’s turning into a fight between the Lib Dems and Reform.

Very strong and important words from Jess Brown-Fuller, MP for Chichester.
NEW: Local elections "should never have been cancelled in the first place", says Lib Dem MP Jess Brown-Fuller.
Chichester MP tells ITV News Meridian that the U-turn "shows the Government does not have a strategic vision for this country".

Labour has rejected my proposal for secure bike lockers at train stations, a simple step to make cycling safer.
I have resubmitted the proposal for the next stage.
In the meantime, I need your support.

The BBC's investigation exposed a sick reality: women are being secretly filmed on nights out with the images posted online for profit.
I’m introducing a new bill to make this a criminal offence.
No women should fear that a night out will end with them being objectified & humiliated online.

Today, the Conservatives said yes.
