Labour have designated South Cambridgeshire as a ‘non-battleground’ seat.
They know the Lib Dems are best placed to beat the Conservatives here. I’m asking all Labour supporters in South Cambs to lend me & the Lib Dems your vote to make change happen & oust the Conservatives.

What I want to stop, and what the law abiding majority wants to stop is your vile government clinging onto power for a day longer.
You don't speak for us.
Every week you debase democracy further.
We're ashamed of you.
Go now.

Marching and calling for a ceasefire and peace so that more innocent children don’t get killed is not really the definition of a hate march.

It’s been a tough week watching the meanness at Tory conference - even the Prime Minister taking aim at some of the most vulnerable in society.
People are not a punchline. @LibDems will always stand up for the rights of all LGBT+ people, including trans

What fresh hell is this? For the avoidance of doubt, anyone arguing against solar farms on food security grounds who is not also arguing against golf courses, bioenergy crops, and meat intensive diets is fundamentally unserious.

Great event, fun and a new experience for me! Lovely to catch up with @RoystonRuth too. Even if she did beat me.....
Lovely morning for the Duck n Dash event at Letchworth. Swim in outdoor pool and run round Norton Common successfully completed by @sciencecarol and me despite our lack of training! Extremely friendly and well run event @FreedomTriNews @NorthHertsDC

An answer to all these folk who think heat pumps aren't suitable for the UK climate. So why do they work so well in Scandinavia then?!
⚡ How different European countries are adopting heat pumps ⚡
We looked at the data to see why some parts of the continent are installing an impressive number of heat pumps per capita, while others are falling behind. bit.ly/450Ko4u
ALT Heat pump adopters in Europe can be classified into four clusters

In the majority of seats across the UK combined, the Labour Party are the most effective tactical vote to prevent a Tory from winning that seat, but in these listed seats it is more effective to vote for the Lib Dems [subject to change].

Rishi Sunak "gaslighted" a nation with new licences for the North Sea! (I do love a pun 👍🏼 but not its reality in this case)
Superb analysis from @C4Ciaran @Channel4News
We export 80% of our oil.
4% of gas is Russian. Price set internationally. More gas won't make it cheaper.
Does the UK need more North Sea oil and gas extraction?
@C4Ciaran digs deeper into Rishi Sunak’s decision to grant new North Sea oil and gas licences.

Nadine Dorries has now been in her job since resigning “with immediate effect” longer than Liz Truss was Prime Minister.
That’s some impressive Torying.

I wholeheartedly agree with Michael Gove that the UK government's plans for heat pumps should be reviewed. We aren't going fast enough, and risk being left behind the rest of the world.
Luckily, we put out a paper last week on what government should do about it...🧵

1/ You’ve seen the fires
You seen the floods
You’ve read the news reports
You’re scared
And now you want to do something about it
But what? And how?

Nadine Dorries - the woman who on June 9th announced she was standing down as the Mid Beds MP "with immediate effect" has still not put her letter in. Now she can't quit until the Commons is sitting in September.

In my humble opinion, some form of PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION is needed in future. The first past the post, two party system fails us appallingly.
2019 GE Results
Tories managed to break Britain with just 43.6% of vote giving 365 seats.... so 8.4 seats per % of vote.
Lib Dems had 11.5% of vote but only 11 seats.... so less than 0.96 seat per % of vote
So every Tory vote was worth nearly 9 TIMES MORE than a Lib Dem vote.
It's a broken system

61,672 lives lost in Europe to heat. Last year. The equivalent of a jumbo jet crashing every day. We need countries, businesses and individuals to reduce their carbon footprint and push for change. @Carbon_Literacy theguardian.com/world/2023/j…
