Keir Starmer needs to wake up and fix our broken voting system before the next election, or he risks letting Nigel Farage into Number 10.
We will keep fighting for fair votes to make sure every voice is heard.

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it
We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we all waited for science to catch up. We waited for a vaccine, for hope.
When it finally arrived, the world changed almost overnight.
With HIV, TB and malaria, we don’t have to wait. The science is already there. The treatments already exist.

It’s outrageous that someone who sexually abuses an animal isn’t automatically put on the sex offenders register.
We know that people who abuse animals are far more likely to go on to commit domestic abuse and even to abuse children. 🧵

Today my thoughts are with everyone affected by the dreadful attack near Huntingdon - the victims, their loved ones, and everyone who witnessed it. We're all hoping those injured make a full recovery.
Grateful to the passengers and emergency services who showed such bravery.

I really welcome this. Scaling up our military strength is not just about tanks and ships.
It is also about morale.
Our troops could be asked to put their lives on the line to protect us. The least we can do is give them somewhere decent to live.

We 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 a version of Trump's America. We stopped him.

Parents tell me every single week about how hard they have to fight to get the SEND provision that their child is entitled to. I asked the Government what steps they're taking to ensure that Education, Health and Care Plans are issued in a timely manner.

Absolutely colossal night of success for the Lib Dems.
In the 10 byelections, the LDs have gained from the CONs, GRNs, INDs and LAB, with a narrow loss to REF by 31 votes in Babergh.
Scoreboard: LD 7, REF 1, CON 1, IND 1.
I assume the media will cover this as breathlessly as every opinion poll?
