Young people can’t catch a break with this Labour Government. ❌
Student loans frozen. Income tax threshold frozen. And now – railcard discounts BLOCKED in the Great British Rail Sale.
Bad deal after bad deal. Young people deserve better.

🚌The 9.30am rule is outdated and unfair, creating barriers for disabled people.
🤝Andy Burnham’s plans to scrap it in Manchester are welcome - but without proper funding, many councils can’t follow.
❌ We need urgent ENCTS reform and national funding so every disabled person can travel freely.

Last week’s peerage list shows the House of Lords is still used to reward loyalty, connections and convenience - all dressed up as democracy, at a cost of £371 a day per peer.
If we want a true democracy, it’s time to end this patronage palace and abolish the House of Lords.

👏 I’ve helped secure a win for adoptive families alongside Lib Dem colleagues! ASGSF funding secured for 2026-27.
📉 But funding is still down - the fight for a permanent, fair deal continues.

💧Hundreds of litres of water are wasted daily because Yorkshire Water can’t fix pipes they’re paid to maintain – while charging customers eye-watering bills.
⚒️With a drought now declared, it’s clear: they must fix the leaks and invest in infrastructure now.

A huge congrats to our new Harrogate Town Councillors.
A resounding success, with 15/19 councillors - just 2 votes shy of 16, and building upon our General election.
The first ever Harrogate town council is a Lib Dem one.

This has been quite the campaign. This election is vitally important for the region. Right now, though, I want to say thank you to all those who are supporting me with their vote tomorrow. I can win and that would be a win for the people of the area.

This election has been much more about the individual candidates than any I have been involved in before. So, articles like this one are a good way for people to learn more about me and what I would do as mayor.

North Yorkshire has deep military roots, with many veterans settling here after service.
However, they often face barriers to accessing local authority housing.
I asked the Minister what’s being done to ensure local authorities better understand and meet veterans’ needs. 👇

Ed Davey’s speech earlier today was very good. It is vital that at least one of Britain’s major parties is there to challenge the authoritarian populist right. Trump, Musk and Farage only want to whip up fear and division. Liberalism stands for hope and compassion. It’s the antidote to hate! #LDConf

Fantastic to have Lib Dem Spring Conference in Harrogate this year! It was particularly great to get to show colleagues just how stunning our part of the world is.
I’ve long championed the importance of the convention centre for the local economy, and campaigned for the investment it needs.

Liberal Democrats are the only party in British politics speaking up in defiance of Donald Trump.
The only ones willing to state the obvious truth: that he is no leader of the free world.
