Truss confirmed as PM but she *still* doesn’t have an actual plan. Weeks ago, @LibDems set out a plan to freeze household energy prices now and pay for it with a tougher windfall tax on the massive profits energy companies are making. The next PM needs to do this now.
The Liberal Democrats have overturned a Conservative majority of 24,239 - the biggest ever in by-election history.
@RichardFoordLD has been elected with a 6,144 vote majority.
New data. Is very worrying. Cases and hospital admissions up 25% and deaths up 38%. June 21 step 4 looks very unlikely. The govt should be pouring resources and trace/isolate teams into hotspots. Why aren’t they?
This was a good result for @LibDems and shows the benefits of @EdwardJDavey's strategy of focusing efforts on areas where the party can realistically win.
Spain has became the first European country to introduce a #UniversalBasicIncome.
The #Covid19 crisis has shown just how broken and outdated our welfare system is - now is the time to change things for the better. Hope we can commit to trialing UBI here in Wales!

@timfarron Hi there- not that familiar with twitter but I understand you have contacted chancellor Rishi asking that ‘limited company people’ are not forgotten - there are loads of people I know who also own a small business where they are the director and aren’t getting any help! Thanks
In a parallel universe, today is the first day of the 2020 general election. I am leading the Liberal Democrats up against Jeremy Corbyn and PM David Cameron after the UK voted remain in 2016. Mind you, in the current circumstances the election would have been postponed anyway...
We’ve turned the fountain blue @wonderfulwgc to honour our NHS workers and all the other heroes out there taking care of us. Enjoy from your armchairs and windows #stayhome#staysafe. Let’s get clapping at 8pm tonight to thank them all #clapforourcarers.
When this is over, we may have got used to better air, seen the point to international co-operation, that people don’t have to sleep on the streets, and we might value, too, the NHS. We might twig there’s more to life than nationalism and the economy. It could be a new beginning.
I remember first hearing about the idea of a Universal Basic Income back in the 70s when I was a 6th former - it made sense then, & has done ever since.
Do away with pensions & unemployment benefit & universal credit - one flat rate payment for everyone.

We have made the difficult decision today to suspend garden waste collections.
This is so our depleted crews can prioritise more critical collections, including refuse, recycling, and clinical waste.
