The botched Brexit deal has left a billion pound black hole in the public finances.
We must fix it - starting with a customs union.

Three fantastic Liberal Democrat wins last night in Watford, Devon and Torridge, including a stinking GAIN from the Conservatives, with Reform failing to take the seat.

Elections across Essex were already postponed earlier this year and now it’s being planned that the Essex Mayoral elections will also be postponed all the way until 2028.
This is a complete democratic stitch up by the government preventing people in Chelmsford from having their voice heard.

Chelmsford constituents with BN(O) visas are worried about the Govt's plan to raise the English language requirement retroactively and to increase the income requirement. I raised this in a Westminster Hall debate and urged the Government to reconsider. #BNOVisa

If this is what happens when Reform runs a council, just imagine Farage running the country.

I welcome an independent inquiry following the mistaken release of a convicted sex offender from HMP Chelmsford last week. The Government must act fast, and any prison leaders at fault, including Governors, should resign. Systemic failure isn’t one officer’s fault.

Liberal Democrat MPs just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.
Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into Trump's America. We won't let him.

The botched Brexit deal dreamt up by the Farage and delivered by the Conservatives has brought nothing but red-tape and economic misery.
The government must now deliver their promised “EU-reset” - starting with a new UK-EU Customs Union.
