Close, but not close enough! With hard work by so many, & the enthusiastic support of so many local residents in #SouthShropshire, we created a fantastic 22.4% swing from Conservative to LibDem. I'm proud of that, & everyone involved, including those voting for me, should be too.

This is an extraordinary result: a rejection of Vučić’s government’s authoritarian suppression of opposition and a victory for democracy and free speech. The Student List have shown amazing courage. Putin will be furious to lose one of his loyal allies.

EU FOM right to move to UK is only to look for a job for 3/12 & no entitlement to UK benefits. UK no longer is a big EU pull with higher taxes & living costs. EU has shrinking demographic & high employment so no large migration flux could occur. More OAP Brits might retire to EU – at Wolfsthal, Österreich
Why Andy Burnham is making the right call to say that EU freedom of movement is not (or no longer) the problem portrayed by some, and why Britain would not have to join Schengen or the euro if it rejoined the EU:

Today Mark Petterson took his oath and joined the team.
Mark co-founded Warwick Energy in 2000 and has developed three offshore wind projects that are now in operation. They include Thanet, the world’s largest offshore wind farm when it came onstream in 2010.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk undermined Ukraine's defences – directly aiding Putin's war machine.
That's beyond the pale. The Prime Minister must stand up to Trump and forge a united front in Europe.
We cannot allow Musk and Starlink to gain even more power over our continent.

Imagine giving 53 years to your party, then being told you can't stand because you believe in human rights.
The Tories have lost a decent man & a powerful voice for London.
Yet again, Badenoch’s Conservatives are happy to chase Reform UK and exclude tolerant, liberal Londoners

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children.
I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

I’m sorry to read that Richard Tice’s commute to Parliament from Dubai is proving so difficult.
British Airways is an embarrassing disgrace of an airline @British_Airways
Routinely selling many more tickets than seats, putting lots of passengers on standby who bought tickets months ago, a woeful customer attitude of ‘shrug shrug, not my job’ 🤷♂️
Then not sending the luggage of standby passengers: one case may arrive on next flight an hour later, 1 case shrug shrug wait until tomorrow afternoon when it may or may not arrive 🤷♂️
Britain is Broken

More Ukrainian lives will be lost as a result of this disgraceful decision.
The Ukrainian front line is our front line, they deserve and need the full support of all Europe and the USA.

Unbelievable and shameful.
Latest: Zelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely, resulting in the loss of the drone."
He says Ukraine has done tests to determine whether SpaceX is truly facing technical issues, as has been told Kyiv by the US side, or if this is a "deliberate operation... to restrict us, cut us off, and prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people, both at the front and among the civilian population."
He says Ukraine "sent a couple of vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals into European Union territory."
"They moved at speeds exceeding 180kph, and the Starlink systems worked perfectly. We have the relevant logs and evidence to prove this."
He adds: "The conclusion is clear: the restrictions are in effect within Ukraine but do not apply within the European Union. In other words, this is a planned operation."

There are still people on the right who venerate this lunatic.

Trump and his lapdog Musk are trying again to bully Ukraine into surrendering to Putin's savage aggression. The UK and Europe can't let them succeed. The Coalition of the Willing needs to seize the £180bn in frozen Russian assets across Europe and use them to defend Ukraine.
Elon Musk has turned on Ukraine by imposing limits on his Starlink devices, Kyiv has claimed.
Under the new Starlink measures, terminals moving faster than 100mph will lose or partially lose their satellite connection, potentially cutting off live video feeds, remote control and real-time tracking for military units and drones.

This is chilling. I feel for anyone watching this tonight who is frightened to see such racism and hatred festering in their community.
It's the very worst of what we’re seeing in Trump’s America. We can’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

Deeply concerning reports that @elonmusk restricted Ukraine’s access to Starlink, potentially on Trump’s orders, just as Russia launched another ballistic missile attack.
Putin must be delighted.
Our collective security cannot be left at the mercy of unelected tech oligarchs.

Back in #Bridgnorth today.
Pleasing how many people said they remember when I was their MP.
No. of people saying they’ll vote #LibDem in #SouthShropshire to make sure Reform don’t win, is significant. There’s also concern the Conservatives will help Farage into No.10.
