Last night I presented my petition in the House of Commons calling on the government to think again and turn down any request from West Sussex County Council to delay elections in May. @itvmeridian ran the story on Good Morning Meridian/Britain this morning.

Exc: 17 councils covering 3.5m people have so far indicated they want their elections to be delayed. - Thirteen of these Labour-controlled - At least 24 councils will not ask for a delay - Dozens undecided ahead of deadline next Thursday - Only 20 of 63 councils have sent letters

Thank you to everyone who signed my petition calling for elections to West Sussex County Council to go ahead in May. I am presenting it in Parliament this evening. The government cannot let elections be postponed. It would make a mockery of our democracy.

We know what happens when a US President ignores international law. My friend Charles Kennedy understood what was at stake in 2003 when he stood against the Iraq war. Unlike the Labour government, we will not look the other way.

Donald Trump is a bully - Britain should be standing up to him.

Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela. Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe. Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

🚨 It's time for Starmer to scrap the Trump NHS tax and fix the social care crisis.

It is clear to me that without urgent steps to get social care properly supported, hospitals and family carers are going to continue to face intolerable strain. Read more in my interview with Care Home Professional. carehomeprofessional.com/interview-alis…

The availability of respite care for unpaid carers is being cut back, with nearly a million requests for respite care being denied. The government needs to do better than this. Me quoted in the Express ⬇️ express.co.uk/news/politics/…

It looks likely that next year's local elections will be cancelled in an anti-democratic stitch up between a failing Labour government and a Tory county council that is scared of what an election could mean for them. Do you agree? Sign my petition: midsussexlibdems.org.uk/campaigns/stop…

🚜 Has Christmas come early for Mid Sussex farmers? Just before Christmas, the government has finally listened, and scaled back plans to hike inheritance tax on farms. A relief for some, but the damage is done. Lib Dems will keep fighting to scrap this unfair tax in full.
