17 Jul 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“Warm words on Gaza and the West Bank are welcome. But as Prime Minister, Andy Burnham must match them with urgent action - before the prospect of two states, Israel and Palestine, disappears altogether.”↗
16 Jul 2026Local Governmentangry“Labour has torn up its own rules to rip Kidlington and nearby villages out of Cherwell & swallow them into a Greater Oxford authority they did not choose. This is not reform for residents. It is blatant political gerrymandering, and local taxpayers will pay the price. Ministers should be ashamed.”↗
15 Jul 2026Defence & Securityangry“Donald Trump is threatening to commit war crimes against Iranian civilians. He must back down from these reckless plans. He and Tehran must stop holding the world to ransom in the Strait. The only way out of this quagmire is a negotiated settlement. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
13 Jul 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“Proscribing the IRGC is long overdue. @maxwilkinson.bsky.social and I have written to the Home and Foreign Secretaries demanding swift, coordinated action to ensure its terrorist designation is properly enforced and backed by a coherent sanctions regime.”↗
13 Jul 2026Defence & Securitycelebratory“Finally! The IRGC has been the author of terror plots, abductions and worse on UK soil. It has also terrorised the Iranian people and slaughtered those who stood up for freedom. Lib Dems have campaigned consistently for this while Tory and Labour Governments dragged their feet.”↗
13 Jul 2026Immigrationangry“I’ve been told the Government is using the “nationally important and urgent” planning route for asylum accommodation at MOD Bicester. Yet I have written confirmation the MOD was notified of these plans last November. If ministers knew then, why is it urgent now? I’ll raise this in the House today.”↗
8 Jul 2026Defence & Securityangry“Donald Trump and Iran's leaders must stop this spiralling tit-for-tat. It will drag the whole region back into war, and harm Brits already struggling with the cost-of-living crisis. They need to put egos aside and get back around the negotiating table. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
29 Jun 2026Local Governmentmeasured“Andy Burnham is right: power should be taken out of Whitehall and put closer to communities. But real devolution means national government letting go and empowering local people, not repeating Labour’s mistakes by imposing change without consultation or consent. news.sky.com/story/politi...”↗
26 Jun 2026Immigrationmeasured“Late last night, the Government announced plans to house asylum seekers at MOD Bicester. MOD Bicester is the wrong site for this facility and the Government must not press ahead. Residents deserve urgent answers on numbers, planning, consultation, local services, cost, security and safeguarding.”↗
25 Jun 2026Environmentmeasured“The documents I have published show why PFAS contamination at RAF Upper Heyford and Heyford Park must be treated with urgency. Residents need rapid, regular testing, full transparency and clear answers from Government and public bodies about what contamination exists and what is being done about it”↗
24 Jun 2026Environmentmeasured“I have published the PFAS files I have received so far from Government and public bodies, alongside a fuller written update on the steps I am taking. Read here: www.oxonld.uk/bicester-woo... 2/2”↗
24 Jun 2026Environmentmeasured“PFAS contamination at RAF Upper Heyford and Heyford Park should be a wake-up call, locally and nationally. Residents deserve clear answers about forever chemicals, historic risks and testing. 1/2 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
23 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)angry“Ten years on, Brexit has failed. It has made Britain poorer, weaker and less secure. The Conservatives and Farage broke our relationship with Europe. Labour are too timid to fix it. The Liberal Democrats are being honest about the way forward: rebuild trust, grow our economy and keep Britain safe.”↗
19 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“Britain’s economy is being held back by low growth and small businesses are paying the price. That’s why the @libdems.org.uk are pushing for a bold new partnership with Europe to cut red tape, back SMEs and grow our economy.”↗
18 Jun 2026Local Governmentangry“Deeply alarming reports that Ministers overruled official advice on council reorganisation. Oxfordshire should be worried. Labour must not carve up our county to deliver Oxford City Council’s Greater Oxford dream. One Oxfordshire is the fairest, strongest option. www.thetimes.com/article/8c8a...”↗
18 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“The Labour Govt has stripped Cherwell of planning powers and handed decisions to Whitehall. I want more homes built, but growth without infrastructure is chaos. Ministers should fix failures holding back jobs + homes, not blame local communities & their representatives. I’ve written to ask why.”↗
16 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“A two-state solution cannot survive while illegal settlements keep expanding. The UK should cut off the finance enabling settler activity and help ensure free and fair Palestinian elections in 2027.”↗
14 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“This peace deal is desperately needed. But it should never have come to this. Trump followed Netanyahu blindly into a war without clear goals and the Iranian regime was willing to attack its innocent neighbours and hold the world hostage over the Strait. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cj...”↗
13 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“John Healey and Gordon Brown were right to look at options to increase defence spending by working with allies. It would make us all safer. The refusal even to consider this shows the short-sightedness and lack of imagination of the Treasury. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
12 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“We can't allow loopholes to undermine our sanctions regime against Putin's war machine. While any delay is wrong, at least closing this open-ended exemption will hopefully go someway to restore the trust of our Ukrainian allies that we will back them to the hilt in the face of Russia's aggression.”↗
12 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“We should be tightening all sanctions on Russia to weaken its war machine. This waiver should never have been granted in the first place. I'm glad that Liberal Democrat pressure, spearheaded by Lord Purvis, has secured a guaranteed date for it to be scrapped. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
12 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“To secure a two-state solution, we need to build bridges between Israeli and Palestinian communities - empowering moderates and eroding extremists. Lib Dems have called for this. It now needs proper funding: not just what can be spared from the slashed ODA budget. www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-...”↗
9 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“Liberal Democrats have called for years for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to be banned in the UK. We will work with the Government to get this law adopted without further delay to protect our Iranian diaspora and Jewish communities. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
7 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“Trump appears finally to have realised what he started. He followed Netanyahu into this war and has pursued it without clear goals and with casual indifference to the consequences. Now he is claiming he can rein in Netanyahu. For once, let’s hope he’s right. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...”↗
2 Jun 2026Defence & Securityangry“The Govt has been consistently warned: they have had a whole year and found the money for American jets, but not for British security. The Govt must publish the DIP, so we can meet immediate threats and give a boost to British firms. A year of drift is a year our enemies have not wasted.”↗
2 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“As my colleague @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social commented, the Liberal Democrats would cancel the order and buy 12 British-built Typhoons instead. The same number of jets, but a genuine sovereign capability, backing British jobs, skills and putting over £500m back into our domestic forces.”↗
2 Jun 2026Defence & Securityangry“The Government has also wasted time to reform woeful defence procurement. Failures like £6.3bn on Ajax tanks that left soldiers vomiting & £1bn on 12 American F-35A jets to appease an unreliable US president. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
2 Jun 2026Defence & Securityangry“So the question is: what is a defence review worth if the cheque never clears? Three in four UK defence firms report paused or cancelled contracts. That hits firms in the supply chain here too - like Airbus in B&W - denied a clear pipeline to invest and hire. news.sky.com/story/uk-fir...”↗
2 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“While this Labour Government drags its heels, the threat does not pause. In April the MoD tracked a Russian submarine loitering over the cables and pipelines that carry almost all of Britain's data and energy. Our spy chiefs say the window to stay ahead is closing.”↗
2 Jun 2026Defence & Securityangry“Why the delay? A Treasury-MoD row over billions. Last week, i reported the plan would land this week to steady the PM against the backdrop of a Burham coronation. Now it has slipped again. Britain’s rearmament is being held hostage to managing Starmer’s premiership. inews.co.uk/news/politic...”↗
