@cllrmikeross Sad news indeed.

What Paul built in the form of the Adelphi was a cultural icon, not just on a back street of Hull but across the whole music sector. An incredible legacy he leaves behind. My condolences to his family and friends.

Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward

We know what happens when a US President ignores international law. My friend Charles Kennedy understood what was at stake in 2003 when he stood against the Iraq war. Unlike the Labour government, we will not look the other way.

@libdemlife @alansm As one of the people who helped establish the Centre for Reform - this is a great idea Simon. Now that virtual is possible perhaps easier to sustain!

If you think the Lib Dems need our own Think Tank, Vote Simon McGrath for FPC

Ahead of Lab & Con conferences some thoughts from me on the Lib Dem conference earlier this week. mhpgroup.com/reviewing-the-…

So Crystal Palace become the first South London team to win the FA Cup since @AFCWimbledon in 1988! Great Stuff!

@CarolinePidgeon @SimonHughes @swklibdems Richly deserved! Exemplary service to Southwark first as local Councillor and then London-wide Assembly Member!

What a huge honour to receive the Freedom of Southwark today. Wonderful to be joined by my Ward colleague for 12 years @JGurling, @SimonHughes and @swklibdems Council group

@Iainbking BBC1 !

Oh good! Home just in time for the Eurovision semi-finals. The madness begins …

Sad not to be joining my friends @CommsLivery this eve to hear Air Chief Marshall Sir Stephen Hillier at today’s dinner honouring military communicators in the @TheRAFClub

The first ‘counted vote’ of #LDConf comes on the motion to reform Sunday trading laws …

The Premier League is back at ⁦@LibDems⁩ or is it the other way round?! #LDConf ⁦@LibDemConf⁩

There’s an actual queue to get into #LDConf ⁦@LibDemConf⁩ Haven’t seen one of those for years!

A youth mobility scheme would give our young people fantastic opportunities to live and work across Europe, while also providing a much-needed boost to the UK economy. It would also be a crucial first step on the road to rebuilding the ties of trust, trade and friendship with our European neighbours.

So the election night that started with the ennoblement of good friend @CarolinePidgeon finally concludes with the return of another’s - Charles Kennedy’s - seat electing @angusmacdlibdem #LibDems And 71 other victories in between. A fantastic night for @EdwardJDavey

Congratulations @CarolinePidgeon - the first new @LibDems parliamentarian of the evening!

A lot of people are on the cusp of doing something they’ve never done before - taking a leap of faith and voting Liberal Democrat... so I decided to do something I’ve never done before too.
