We were promised that the proceeds from the Chelsea FC sale would support Ukraine.
Instead, there are alarming signs that only a fraction is accounted for. This is unacceptable.
The Government must act now, and use every legal tool available, to get this money to Ukraine where it is urgently needed.

I asked the Foreign Secretary about the Russian shadow fleet that is smuggling oil and gas across the world, funding Putin's barbaric war.

76% Russian Gas is shipped on a UK owned or insured vessels. This is £45 billion worth of gas. This is huge for Russia's budget 🧵

☀️ We need to transition from fossil fuels to renewables.

🏢 We don't need to put solar on prime farmland, but on dead space like rooves and car parks.

🛢️ Russia has fuelled its war with the profits from oil and gas and acted as a stark reminder of our need to transition away.

🇨🇳 I was asked about the case of the Chinese spies in Parliament on BBC Politics Live.

👉 Labour and the Tories need to stop pointing fingers and start learning lessons to protect our democracy from hostile foreign powers, like China and Russia.

🧊 This is unfortunately only the tip of the iceberg.

🐘 The Govt refuses to engage with the elephant in the room which is the Tories' botched Brexit deal.

🤷 They are obsessed with growth, but refuse to consider the biggest thing holding Britian back.

🇪🇺 This is why the @libdems.org.uk are calling for a customs union to really reset our relationship.

↩️ It is time for Rachel Reeves to U-turn on her Family Farm Tax.

🚜 Our farmers need our help, the govt only seems able to do the opposite.

🤝 I recently met with farmers and this is not the only problem they face.

✂️ The govt has also cut essential support, farmers deserve better

👨‍💼 I asked the Foreign Secretary about frozen Russian assets.

💷 We ned to seize them for Ukraine so Russian money can fund their resistance.

💪 If this is something that our allies are not prepared to do then we must do it on our own with the assets we have here in the UK.

🇪🇺 I had the privilege to be on the UK delegation to the Council of Europe.

🕊️ I talked about democracy in Russia being a prerequisite for lasting peace in Europe.

🔭 It may seem far off, but we must start laying the groundwork to support the Russian people now, otherwise it will never happen.

I have been very clear; I cannot support Labour's Digital ID plan.

I do not believe that citizens should have to hand over their private data just to go about their daily lives. Do we really want to become a “papers please” society for a gimmick that will fail to tackle illegal immigration?

The Lib Dems have been the only voices in Parliament consistently championing closer economic, defence and cultural ties with Europe, after the Tories botched deal.

I was privileged to present the Making the UK–EU Reset Summit Count motion to Conference and change party policy.

Russian attacks are spreading: shopping centres in Warsaw & Vilnius torched, EU Commission President’s plane forced down by GPS jamming. I asked ministers what the UK – one of NATO’s strongest powers – will do to stand with our allies and push back.

British farmers deserve better.

The Govt keeps neglecting Britain’s farmers and action is needed to save our rural communities.

From unfair family farms tax to slashing support for young farmers, they are making it harder for the next gen to survive and now they are signing dodgy deals with DJT 🧵

The govt claims its plans for local govt are "devolution by default" they aren't, they're centralisation by stealth.

They have a huge democratic deficit and people are worried.

They are taking power away from communities.

🇪🇺 I asked the govt what timetable they have to rejoin Erasmus+.

It would be great for our universities & sciences – together we can do things we can’t alone.

Young people have lost life-changing chances to study & work across Europe. We must give them back.

Disappointingly they couldn’t say.
