In case you were wondering, this is a lovely morning to join the @LibDems and help us get more liberal MPs elected to Parliament.
Bravo @SarahDykeLD and team, what a result! 👏🏻 https://www.libdems.org.uk/join

Jacob Rees-Mogg on #BBCR4 saying this was a 'low result' for the @LibDems is already the funniest thing I've heard today. #SomertonAndFrome

If only there was some kind of body with more ability and willingness than the UK Government to hold water companies accountable and ensure our waters would be safe to swim in. Oh wait... 🇪🇺

Since the adoption of the Bathing Water Directive in 2006, the proportion of excellent sites has increased to 86% of all bathing waters in the EU.

URGENT: We need to talk about the Online Safety Bill.
To prevent online harm to children, it's like saving them from drowning by boiling all the water in the UK off into space.
It will ruin your experience of the Internet. Guaranteed.

Refusing to sign up to research cooperation with Europe would be a senseless act of self-harm. Every day Sunak delays signing up to Horizon deprives scientists of funding.
It's vital that this deal is approved as soon as possible - it's a no brainer.

Re @JonnElledge An incredibly moving piece, which I've just sent on to another friend who is grieving at the moment. Keep doing whatever you need to in order to get through each day. That is enough. Take care x

Wishing a very #HappyPride2023 to everyone in London marching today. I'm normally always there, but have sadly picked up a bug so here's a pic from Mighty Hoopla instead. Sending big love to the entire LGBTQ+ community, I will always fight for you xx🌈 https://t.co/ORllIRRlnM

It is sheer luck to live in a place which happens to be relatively safe and stable (though you lot are certainly putting that to the test). Other humans deserve the same rights as we enjoy. And we don't want our rights watered down either. https://n.respublicae.eu/SimonClarkeMP/status/1674346253080051712

Simon Clarke MP: This is a deeply disappointing ruling in the face of the clear will of Parliament. I would anticipate an immediate appeal to the Supreme Court.
We have to be able to control our borders. If the ECHR continues to forestall this, we have to revisit the question of our membership. https://n.respublicae.eu/pa/status/1674343964135292929

Have you ever wondered what these pipes are, sticking out from the base of small trees? They’re watering pipes! And small trees are especially vulnerable in this heat, so Londoners are being asked to water them! And if they have a bag around the base, that also needs filling up. https://t.co/ATQ4VsU2L7
