I'm delighted that the UK will be re-joining the Erasmus scheme. This is something the Lib Dems and I have long championed. Erasmus opens doors for young people from the UK and across Europe to share experiences, broaden horizons, and build lasting connections.

Pandemics don’t start in hospitals. They often start in animals.
That’s why university vet schools matter so much for public health and pandemic preparedness.
I’ve written about the proposed closure of Cambridge Vet School and why it has national consequences.

Some ludicrous restrictions on public questions being proposed by the Combined Authority. Currently the deadline for public questions is 3 working days before a meeting; they want to change this to 7. Guess what the deadline for publishing the agenda is? shorturl.at/DQdrk (item 7)

This really shouldn't even need saying, let alone agitating for. It is a truism more than a proposition.
Lib Dem leader Davey: “The Government needs to block any future contracts with Tesla, and block Musk from being granted a license to supply energy to British homes
“Ministers should make clear that if you are egging on violence on the streets of the UK, you are not someone we can do business with.”

Truth is: stopping Farage (tonight, in Newmarket) is gonna look a lot like this for the next few years. It can also be quite fun and does at least get you out of your own echo chambers.
