Solicitor for Fire Service. Prosecutor. Part-time Malagueño. Lib Dem back-room boy. Liberal metropolitan and not apologising for it.

@RJDoyleSW2 Used to be super fashionable for the rich and famous, always rains, votes for liberal centrists?

We are receiving a high number of reports today of text messages, impersonating us, demanding money.

The UKSC will never contact you out of the blue asking for money, and we would never text.

@lordbonkers Suggesting there is overwhelming evidence for the innocence of Routier is ludicrous. The evidence that convicted her remains very robust.

[RogerGiess @RogerGiess]

It didn’t “fail to” as if it were some terrible clerical error. It *chose* not to after reviewing the evidence provided by police. Maybe that decision was wrong - but this report does not substantiate that. Very misleading headline/tweet

[Sky News @SkyNews]

The Crown Prosecution Service has acknowledged it had twice failed to bring charges against Mohamed al Fayed for sexual abuse.

@phgUKpol @philipjcowley Errr…. Brexit! Parliamentary constituencies legislation x2, Perth agreement on royal succession, abolition of supplementary vote, Parliamentary convention on Commons vote on military action, elections photo ID, Metro mayors + PCCs, arguably Supreme Court proroguing decision

I’m pretty sure Brexit is the most significant constitutional reform in the last 25 years and this is really - really - not as big a deal as Brexit

[Cabinet Office @cabinetofficeuk]

Our Government is embarking on the most significant constitutional reform in 25 years by removing hereditary peers from the Lords.

The Bill is introduced to Parliament today driving forward a manifesto commitment in the first 100 days.

Surprised to discover Vancouver is a beach destination 🤷‍♂️It’s certainly an amazingly beautiful natural location for a city

@RJDoyleSW2 One of the LGBCE’s few mistakes in Lambeth….

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

By the way, no way am I leaving Twitter. This place is like a lovely pub, that got taken over by some soulless pub company and with a full on wazzock as a new landlord. But I was here first and I’m staying.

@timleunig A work colleague offered to sell me a 2-bed flat in Streatham in 1995 for a very affordable £60k. I turned her down. Sigh… 😞 1998 probably the low point for Streatham as a desirable place to live. And London population still falling, I think, or at least only bottoming out

Finally summer reaches London…. just as I arrive in Spain 🤷‍♂️

[Standard News @standardnews]

London set to sizzle in 32C on Friday as hottest day of year is forecast https://t.co/9amU5K09PP

I’d use it for a long weekend in Spain 🤭

🚨 NEW: Lib Dem leader Ed Davey says there should be a bank holiday if England win #EURO2024

@LukeTryl Which fuels this, which was circulating this morning

A majority of the 10% least deprived constituencies are now Lib Dem held. And lots of the others are Lib Dem near misses

[RogerGiess @RogerGiess]

@Gilesyb I think the “don’t need to worry about GRN” take is one you might need to review quite soon. They are the natural mid-term protest vote for young metropolitan England and those voters can be very fickle

[RogerGiess @RogerGiess]

@standardnews @nicholascecil That is not remotely close and despite their posturing Labour was third

[RogerGiess @RogerGiess]

Well this is just wonderful

[James Gurling @JGurling]

Congratulations @CarolinePidgeon - the first new @LibDems parliamentarian of the evening!

Very disappointed that this classic snap has yet to reach my timeline today
