Instead of asking the President to drop his damaging tariffs, Farage wants to talk down Britain and egg Trump on to hurt British businesses even more. He’s no patriot.

I recently wrote to the NAO to raise my concerns about the rollout of the UK's fishing vessel monitoring system (VMS). These VMS units are currently unreliable and represent a substantial waste of public funds. Read more here👇 fishingnews.co.uk/news/mp-asks-n… #Somerset #Fishing #UK

🗳️Yesterday, I voted to scrap hereditary peers. Britain, alongside Lesotho, is a complete anomaly in the 21st century by preserving legislative roles based on lineage. I spoke about the need for all legislators to be appointed on the basis of merit. #Parliament

Great to be in Minehead yesterday with Rachel Gilmour, MP for Tiverton & Minehead, Vince Cable, Mohammed Sharjeel &Benet Allen all backing our call for better buses in Somerset 🚍 This service is a lifeline to Taunton for education & healthcare. Proud to have Rachel’s support for #CatchTheBusMonth #CTBM

This week Nigel Farage went to America to badmouth Britain, even comparing our country to North Korea. He’d rather cosy up to his MAGA buddy mates than fix problems here at home.

Last week, I met with Lorraine Heath, CEO of the Blackdown Education Partnership, at Tiverton High School. It was beneficial to speak with Lorraine about her outlook on the future of THS - from the DfE's pre-feasibility assessment for a rebuild to student opportunities. #Devon

In yesterday's Public Accounts Committee, I posed questions to civil servants from Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 about the serious data leaks in the handling of Afghan relocation applications. The leaks and breaches have affected thousands of Afghans who helped the UK in Afghanistan. #Parliament

A massive thank you to everyone who came along to our Q&A Picnic fundraiser with Sir Vince Cable on Saturday! 🎉 🔶 Our Liberal Democrats members and activists are building something special here in Tiverton and Minehead. Join us today: libdems.org.uk/join #Somerset #Devon

🤝Last week, I met with Libby Price of The Filo Project. ✅Following a meeting with the local Filo team in Tiverton last month it was great to catch up to work together on how we can provide more high-quality dementia care services across the T&M constituency. #Devon #Dementia

Over the weekend I was near Ashley Combe, the former home of Ada Lovelace, to unveil a blue plaque alongside the Ada in Porlock team. West Somerset has a rich history, celebrated by these projects, whilst also looking ahead, through their work in STEM. #Somerset #WomenInSTEM

🍻 On Tuesday, I was proud to welcome Shaun and Jonathan from Exmoor Brewery to Parliament, serving the delightful Exmoor Gold! Exmoor Brewery is under new management, and I'm delighted that jobs have been saved, and brewing is alive and well in Wivey! #Somerset #Exmoor #Proud

👋Good Morning Tiverton and Minehead! Here's a look at some of what I got up to as your Member of Parliament last week. #Somerset #Devon #MP #Parliament

Last week, I spoke about the fantastic work being done at the Foxes Hotel in Minehead, in a debate on supporting neurodivergent people into work. Foxes provide support for many people across W Somerset, and I am proud to have them in my patch. #Somerset #Foxes #MP #Proud

Young people in Tiverton and Minehead have to travel far enough already to access post-16 education without this centralisation effort, which I worry will only decrease the accessibility of post-16 education options for my rural constituents. #Somerset #Devon #Education

'They say there's a genocide, and I say it with them.' Lib Dem leader Ed Davey says there is a genocide in Gaza, and Donald Trump is 'choosing not to stop it'.

I hope that the PM demonstrates some principled leadership at this evening's state banquet with the President. POTUS alone has the power to influence Netanyahu, and those who harbour Hamas, to end this conflict, and stop this genocide.

🚓This morning, I had a constructive meeting with the PCC for Devon & Cornwall, Alison Hernandez, talking on rural crime, antisocial behaviour, & how to protect our young people from online harm. Now the focus turns to delivery, and progressing on those points. #Devon #Police
