Lib Dem MP for Frome & East Somerset 🔶 @libdems Spokes for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (Promoted by the Liberal Democrats, 64 Weymouth Road, BA11 1HJ)

Frome & East Somerset
And given this, as the @LibDems Media spokesperson I will no longer be posting on X.
We cannot stand by and wait for Elon Musk to do the right thing while people are being abused and exploited. Liberal Democrats are calling for a full criminal investigation into X’s UK operations.

Think the horse has bolted on that one...
Labour is trying to nip anger at funding applications for farmers in the bud. The rural PLP has been invited to a roundtable with ministers, including Angela Eagle and Stephen Morgan, on the fringes of conference at 1:30 afternoon.

Just intervened to stop these five nasty thugs wearing Kingstanding Patriots tops beating up a black guy they picked on randomly by the IMAX. They’ve now headed toward the South Bank and I’ve called the @metpoliceuk who have gone off in search of them.

Parks / open spaces are used more by boys than girls. But open spaces should be for all. Lib Dem-led @ChelmsCouncil is working with “Make Space for Girls” to fix. So, I was delighted to speak to @Anna4FES MP at #LDconf who got planning policy changed substack.com/home/post/p-217…

When the government abruptly shut SFI in February 2025, their excuse was that it was an unfair Tory-designed first-come-first-served system… so they took 18 months to come up with….an unfair first-come-first-served system. An utter shambles with heartbreaking consequences.
EXCL: RURAL Labour MPs have privately branded their own Government’s cash deal for farmers a “disaster” and an “utter joke” Backbenchers voiced their concerns in a WhatsApp chat leaked to @TheSun, with one MP likening the scramble to getting gig tickets thesun.co.uk/news/40480185/l…

My father came to Britain from East Africa with hope and ambition. Yet now nearly 1 million young people are not in education, employment or training. Lib Dems believe every young person deserves the chance to fulfil their potential. @munirawilson

UK Music has lined up a fantastic panel for the @LibDems conference to explore what the Government’s devolution plans could mean for the music industry. This year's theme is Madchesterism: Putting Music at the Heart of Devolution. Find out more here: tinyurl.com/4rkc9p5f

Seeing so many people losing their minds about @BBC Last Night of the Proms.... Would gently remind them that Newman and Wood established the Proms precisely to put on less demanding works for an audience of people who wouldn't normally engage with classical music. Being accessible is *precisely* the point. #musicforall #musicisforeveryone

Replying to @AmandaAchtman
You obviously have no idea how a terminal diagnosis works. Being alive four years after a metastatic cancer diagnosis does not mean I was never terminally ill, nor does it mean my prognosis has somehow expired. The median life span for my disease is 3-5 years. I’m very glad I’m still here too. But you don’t get to use my survival as an argument against the right of other terminally ill people to have choice at the end of their lives. None of us know when our treatments will stop working, and that’s why the Bill was for the end of life. But we live with the knowledge that there is no cure, and that our deaths can sometimes be brutal. That’s why it’s about choice. We’re not suicidal, we just want the choice not to suffer as we die.

Earlier this year, a "really weird" email marked the beginning of a life-altering experience for Lib Dem MP Anna Sabine A surgeon watching her Politics Live performance pointed out a big lump on the side of her throat and urged her to get it checked out. The subsequent surgery severed one of Sabine's vocal cords, preventing her from speaking in anything above a whisper Now, @anna4fes speaks to The House mag's @BenGartside about returning to Parliament, her refusal to step back from public speaking, and embracing her newfound social media fame as the ‘Whispering MP’ politicshome.com/news/articl…

I welcome Ed Miliband's announcement today alongside a generally tougher stance on what the Israeli Government is doing. It's about time - many measures the Lib Dems have long been calling for 🙏

Incredible how little attention this has got. Masked men come to Dover in a planned action and blocked our nation's busiest port. None were detained. Good job they weren't holding signs about Palestine or climate change or they'd be in court by now! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy8z…

The government's overhaul of the National Planning Policy Framework will now EXPLICITLY reference violence against women and girls and safety concerns It comes after the issue wasn't mentioned once in the draft changes to national planning guidance - MPs @GideonJAmos and @anna4fes were among those who raised the issue⬇️

Cowardly and shameful behaviour by the IOC. Russia should be allowed nowhere near the Olympics. Putin's illegal war rages on. Ukrainians are dying. This decision must be reversed. @LibDems
The IOC Executive Board has provisionally lifted the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee. Recommendations to International Federations with regard to Russian athletes’ participation are no longer applicable. Read: oly.ch/3QZyYfO

Slags”, “sluts”, “psychos” and “bitches” are just some of the terms that current BBC presenter Ashley Cain has used to describe women on his social media accounts. At a time when violence against women and girls is rightly recognised as a national emergency, the BBC's decision to hire and promote Mr. Cain is shocking. Me and Marie Goldman MP have demanded the BBC Director General launches an investigation into how Mr Cain was hired and overhaul the vetting processes that allowed this oversight. @LibDems

Lib Dem Sport Spokesperson Anna Sabine MP said: “England fans save up for years to support our country - they should not be left out of pocket because of the unpredictable actions of Donald Trump and US border policies “If the US Embassy and their border authorities fail to provide a smooth and fair entry process then it is only right that they pick up the tab “For a President who claims to champion free speech and individual freedoms, the idea that publicly disagreeing with him could be enough to deny someone entry makes a total mockery of those very values “Football fans should not be forced to pay the price for political decisions , or for one man’s fragile ego”
