@aakashgupta There’s a long way to go but he has unequivocally made a giant leap. Señor Barbacid should be lauded for his brilliance and dedication (over many years) to medical science.

Three fantastic Liberal Democrat wins last night in Watford, Devon and Torridge, including a stinking GAIN from the Conservatives, with Reform failing to take the seat.

Huge congratulations to the amazing campaign teams on the ground!

[Chris Rennard 🔶💙🇺🇦 @LordRennard]

More evidence today of the need for a cap on donations to prevent the buying of elections. Perhaps the @ElectoralCommUK should set the cap? @electoralreform @UnlockDemocracy @markpack @LisaSmartMP @BestForBritain @OpenBritain

Tonight, the Liberal Democrats will be voting against the Government's appalling family farm tax.

The Conservatives threw farmers under a bus by botching the transition to the new payment schemes.

And now Labour are hammering farmers with a huge tax bill.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

The tide is turning. Even the Telegraph is now admitting the damage the Brexit deal has done to the economy.

[European Movement UK @euromove]

Leaving the European Convention on Human Rights would be an act of self-sabotage, not independence, because the convention was forged from British ideals of justice and human dignity, written by our own lawyers in the ruins of war, to ensure that tyranny could never again take hold in Europe.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

“The Lib Dem leader wants to rewrite British politics – not with the language of crisis, but that of care.

“Personal experience shapes the Liberal Democrat leader’s agenda, offering a humane alternative and exposing a state oblivious to quiet sacrifice.”

The Guardian on @EdwardJDavey’s new book, Why I Care, available now.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Freedom of science and research is one of Europe's great strengths.

It’s how excellence and innovation thrive.

We’ll make proposals to help scientists and researchers ‘Choose Europe’.

The best and brightest from around the world.

To make Europe the home of innovation again.

[Green Liberal Democrats 🔶 @GreenLibDems]

As if you needed another reason to vote

@ChilternSociety Welcome Linda! 🐴

The UK must rejoin the European Union as soon as possible.

Trump’s USA is now a hostile state now, no longer an ally, nor a friend.

[Freddie van Mierlo MP 🔶 @fivanmierlo]

Today I met with the Environment Agency. I’m delighted to share that £0.5m funding has been secured to progress design work for a repaired Marsh Lock bridge. This is a welcome step towards reopening it, and comes thanks to the hard work of everyone campaigning on this issue

🟠 @timfarron: "No one in this country wants chlorinated chicken on our supermarket shelves."

🗣️ Reform UK's @Nigel_Farage said he would back a trade deal to allow such imports from the US, a move which could undercut British farmers. 🚨

This must be the final nail in the coffin for Ofwat, a regulator that's proven time and again it cannot protect customers and our beautiful environment.

The Government must protect British rivers and seas from disgusting sewage. It’s time for Ofwat to go.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

It took one of the highest judges in the country, The Master of the Rolls, The Chancellor of the High Court, Lord Justice Zacaroli a matter of seconds to work it out.

"A lot of money has being taken out of the company, a very expensive refunding... a 9.8% coupon (interest rate), and what was the cost £800 million for an input of £1.6 billion, I mean that's extraordinary,... and I find it really hard to believe...".

@ofwat's had 35 years and still hasn't worked it out.

@cirian75 @bill_howarth Strange times!

[Edward Morello MP @EdwardMorelloWD]

The importance of Dorset National Landscape (formerly AONB) needs to be recognised in national housing targets. My question to ministers 👇
