Plans to close rail ticket offices - and significantly cut the hours that train stations are staffed - will have terrible consequences for elderly and disabled passengers.
For many, unstaffed stations are inaccessible stations.
Good luck to the incredible @EmmaMidBeds and her team today. No one could have worked harder and what a thoughtful, diligent and proactive local MP for Mid Bedfordshire she will be.
Polls open to 10pm don’t forget valid ID. @LibDems#MidBedfordshire#Byelection
Extremely encouraging response on the doorsteps in Flitwick on the eve of the Mid Bedfordshire by election. Former Lab and Con voters switching to the impressive @EmmaMidBeds - it feels like she has the edge and the momentum, but she’ll need lots of LD volunteers to win.
Britain could have led the world in achieving net zero: instead Rishi “7 bins” Sunak has gone back on important promises, caused mayhem in the car industry & more damage to our international reputation. He cares more for his political party than the future of our planet
📺 @TimFarronMP on #ITVTonight with Britain’s Dirty Water: What Went Wrong?
“It’s disgusting, it’s unclean, but it’s even more than that - it speaks of a deep injustice of powerful corporations making money out of hard pressed bill payers, then not reinvesting in our waterways.”
Unbearable interest cost
shows Tory competency claims
as false as their Brexit Lies.
How can 🇬🇧 tackle Climate Crisis with INTEREST at 10.4% of all
government revenue?
Loans rates linked to inflation is
why they're panicking!
🔶@LibDems will fix both. https://t.co/tmPVGpY3Me
After months and months, this Conservative government is still allowing energy firms to rake in extraordinary profits while millions of families struggle to make ends meet.
It’s time for a general election and a proper windfall tax to fund the support families desperately need.
Famine and fear, destitution and death… all because of Putin’s paranoia.
Time that the whole world - including all developing countries - unite against him !

Enough is enough. The Home Secretary must finally restore proper community policing and implement a burglary response guarantee.
It's the only way to reverse these criminally bad figures.
It is staggering that the Foreign Office guidance does not advise against all but essential travel.
Thanks to ministers’ inaction in changing travel advice, many families are unable to make a claim against their insurance, leaving them paying the penalty.

"People of all backgrounds and all walks of life are choosing the Liberal Democrats.
"Because we are listening, and fighting for the fair deal they deserve."
@EdwardJDavey
In my humble opinion, some form of PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION is needed in future. The first past the post, two party system fails us appallingly.
2019 GE Results
Tories managed to break Britain with just 43.6% of vote giving 365 seats.... so 8.4 seats per % of vote.
Lib Dems had 11.5% of vote but only 11 seats.... so less than 0.96 seat per % of vote
So every Tory vote was worth nearly 9 TIMES MORE than a Lib Dem vote.
It's a broken system
Now we know what we know: Nat West / Coutts behaved badly towards Farage. People should not lose access to banking due to their views. Also…while I appreciate that the BBC is seeking to demonstrate its neutrality, this doesn’t deserve to be leading the news…
Hugely concerned by reports that the DVLA are planning to withdraw their services from post offices.
So many elderly or disabled people rely on being able to renew their licence or pay vehicle tax in person.
I've written to the Chief Exec of the DLVA, urging her to think again.
