It is time the government understands the science and maths and acts upon it now, immediately, rather than delaying and wasting the lives of tens of thousands of our fellow citizens and workers here in London and across UK. #COVID19 #CircuitBreaker #CircuitBreak (Photo: @JonBall)

When I ran against Khan in 2024 I challenged him on his failures on housing, crime & transport. He said he was proud. Since then, house building has cratered, the Met is still failing to tackle sex offences, & after "freezing" fares, he has now increased them above inflation.

As Ramadan comes to an end, we wish everyone who is celebrating in the UK and beyond a happy and blessed Eid ul Fitr. Eid Mubarak!

As we near the end of Ramadan, I want to thank everyone who is supporting Muslim communities and working for a Britain where everyone feels welcome and safe.

Also we need to know which Men B strain is involved bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@uksciencechief if the need for tests is increasing faster than the provision of tests, then surely it is necessary to bring R down below 1 swiftly to allow the testing system a chance to catch up? @Sir_David_King @chrischirp @LibDemHealth @CMO_England @Jeremy_Hunt @LaylaMoran

Good to see Sadiq Khan joining Wes Streeting and David Lammy in finally catching up with the Lib Dems on the need for a UK–EU customs union. We have led the way, won the vote in Parliament and will now fight to make sure Downing Street wakes up to the damage done by Brexit too.

@AishaJMir And what are her views on wild swimming/bathing in certain rivers (a Hindu tradition), does she find wild swimming intimidating also?

Sorry to all the Jews, Hindus, Sikhs & Christians of the UK. According to Allison, all of our public observance of our respective faiths is intimidating the UK. Diwali, Holi, Purim, Hannukah, Christmas, Easter to name but a few. All 'intimidating' to the rest of the UK 🤣

Lords urged to ensure women criminalised for abortion are ‘not left behind’ theguardian.com/world/2026/mar… “Although there are far fewer who have been convicted, that conviction is a life sentence – it prevents them getting jobs" @LizBarkerLords @MarishaRayLD @LibDemWomen @meralhece

I won’t give up making sure @LondonFire fully adhere to the @nazirafzal report recommendations that found the LFB to be institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic. Glad the commissioner will consider a review after the HMICFRS inspection.

St Pancras station this evening. The Bayeux Tapestry is coming! Through the tunnel (but not on Eurostar). Making the journey on dry land, unlike when it went from Canterbury to Bayeux in the 1070s.

Only 12 hrs after the @Conservatives shared dehumanising imagery of the PM as a snake, the Defending Democracy Taskforce has reported on threats against MPs & our shared duty to elevate political debate. Violence does not arise in a vacuum. It follows the debasing of discourse.

It’s astonishing Mandelson received a £75,000 payout even after his longstanding links to Epstein were known. New documents show the PM was warned about the risks of his appointment, but appointed him anyway. Epstein’s victims deserve better.

‼️Emergency call for evidence‼️ 🖊️ ianroome.uk/north-devon-of… 🖊️ Earlier today, MPs from rural communities met the Energy Minister to raise urgent concerns about the heating oil crisis, rising costs for LPG, and red diesel. I keep hearing stories from people unable to access heating oil at all, orders being cancelled and then re-quoted at up to double the price, and the need for immediate support for rural areas. The Minister and the Competition & Markets Authority wanted evidence to help the government understand the scale of the problem and how to respond. 🖊️I’m gathering evidence from residents who use off-grid fuels, so if you’ve been affected, please do my short survey: ianroome.uk/north-devon-of… 🖊️ In doing so, I’ll also keep you updated on any emergency support, and we Lib Dems will continue calling for an immediate three-month zero-rating of VAT on heating oil for all residential homes to help families through this crisis.
