Good morning.

Gonna have a pop at multi-millionaire Dicky Tice this morning.

The same Dicky Tice that hates foreigners in our country, hates muslims, is an MP for Boston & Skegness but lives in Dubai under SHARIA LAW!

Having a pop at children wearing ear defenders because he's a class 1 knobhead.

As Prof Jules Pretty writes, seven countries already run on 100% renewable electricity. Not by accident, but by choice. When systems shift, they shift quickly – and the world is entering that steep part of the curve.

Imagine being turned away from a bathroom, hospital, or cinema for “not looking female enough”. The leaked EHRC guidance could do just that. Along with my Lib Dem colleagues, I’ve written to the Minister calling for new, inclusive, practical guidance that protects everyone’s rights.

Today’s Budget is a chance to put people first.

The Liberal Democrats are calling for an emergency plan to give immediate help to households and high streets.

We’ll be scrutinising every line of the budget to ensure it delivers the fairness and support people need.

The Tories have got some nerve claiming they back British farmers.

They sold out our farmers in trade deals.

They cut farm incomes by botching the transition to the new payment schemes.

And they created an agricultural policy that actively disincentives the production of food.
