What a story. What a woman. What an example to every one of us.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

Trump, Putin, Farage… your boy took a hell of a beating. Congratulations to the people of Hungary for showing that populist extremists can be defeated – even despite Donald Trump’s best efforts.

On 7th May, Sutton will either be run by a Conservative-Reform coalition of chaos or a Liberal Democrat administration that brings the values and vision of this manifesto to life, just as we have done so many times before. Read the manifesto in full: suttonlibdems.org.uk/manifesto

Now, more than ever, Sutton needs a Council that combines experience with vision. Central to all of our aims are our seven key pledges, which together represent the key steps we will take to keep Sutton moving forward.

BREAKING! Today we're launching 'Keep Sutton Moving Forward', our manifesto for the 2026 local elections. It showcases the bold, ambitious and vibrant ideas that the Liberal Democrats stand ready to deliver to deliver the brightest possible future for our borough.

Liberal Democrat MPs have written to Keir Starmer today calling on him to withdraw US access to UK air bases. Donald Trump's latest shocking threats against Iran would amount to war crimes. The UK cannot be complicit.

Donald Trump's latest shocking threats against Iran would amount to war crimes. The UK cannot be complicit. Keir Starmer must withdraw US access to UK air bases now.

After Trump's latest shocking threats, Keir Starmer faces a choice. Withdraw US access now to UK air bases, or risk letting British soil be used to commit war crimes.

In Advance of my new book, On Time: The Physics that Makes the Universe Tick, which comes out in a few months, here are extracts from my Big Think interview covering a wide range of ideas on the nature of time.

In the light of #Easter, let us allow ourselves to be amazed by Christ! Let us allow our hearts to be transformed by his immense love for us! Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!

Pope Leo's Easter message: "Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!"

I spoke with His Holiness Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex today. At the very moment of our conversation, the Russians attacked Ukraine yet again – hundreds of “shaheds” and dozens of missiles against our cities and communities. In fact, the attack has been ongoing in waves since last night, and at least five regions have already been targeted. Not a single hour of peace for our people, and this is Russia’s response to our proposal for an Easter ceasefire. Essentially, the Russians have only intensified their strikes, turning what should have been silence in the skies into an Easter escalation. This certainly cannot be ignored, and I am grateful to everyone in the world who does not remain quiet about it. I spoke about the negotiation process and our work with the American team. I also expressed gratitude for the assistance in returning our abducted children and for all the humanitarian aid the Vatican has provided to our people, particularly during this difficult winter. We also discussed the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf region. I wished His Holiness and all those celebrating Easter this Sunday a blessed holiday and peace. Of course, we would be glad to welcome His Holiness to Ukraine on an apostolic visit. And I am especially grateful that the Pope remembers Ukraine, the Ukrainian people, and prays for peace for our nation.

Mick North's five year old daughter Sophie was murdered 30 years ago along with 15 other children and their teacher at Dunblane's primary school. He has called on Nigel Farage to renounce his description of the UK's handgun ban as 'ludicrous', but Farage refuses. @edwardjdavey #PMQs

Grateful to speak tonight on the absolute scandal that a Labour government wants to stop councils providing free school meal vouchers. @SuttonLibDems are standing up for struggling families and are still providing them to give time to transition despite the government.

Lead Member for Resources Sunita Gordon introduced the budget by highlighting the values we have always taken to Sutton's finances - prudence, fairness and long term thinking.

Leader of the Council Barry Lewis spoke about our bold, ambitious vision for a borough where we continue to support the most vulnerable and foster opportunity for everybody.
