Yeovil Liberal Democrats

Great day in #Yeovil with Minister @LukePollard, @Adamjamesdance MP and @MakeUK_ celebrating the awarding to @Leonardo_live @Leonardo_UK of the #NMH 🚁 contract! A boost to #manufacturing, #jobs & #growth! 🇮🇹🤝🇬🇧

Over the Xmas period my office will be running with limited staff, but urgent emails will still be checked daily. If you or someone you know needs support this Xmas, I’ve shared key contact details on my website: yeovil-libdems.org.uk/news/article/c…

I’ve written to the CEO of EVRi after hearing from constituents about delivery delays, tracking issues & problems contacting customer services. Many local drivers work extremely hard, but these ongoing issues are causing real frustration.

The Yeovil Young Liberal Democrats are hosting a festive Christmas Social on Thursday, December 11th in Yeovil, running from 7:00–10:00pm, and we’d love to welcome anyone aged 16–40… Registration is essential for numbers and security.

Today I officially opened the new NHS dental practice in Chard. This is really good news for local people. Many families have struggled to get an NHS dentist for far too long, and this new practice will make a real difference.

This Conservative Government is trying to rig the rules to work in their favour because they know they’ve lost the support of the public. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Get political in 2024. The only way to push ahead where Tories reversed the UK's gear on climate change is to replace Sewage voting Tory MPs in the Shires with @LibDems. It's not just your vote. Ask friends and family to lend @EdwardJDavey their vote. youtu.be/E8A50RAhSIE?si…

This is a damning indictment of the Conservative government’s neglect of education in this country. Figures revealed by @MuniraWilson show recruitment for secondary school trainee teachers overall was at 50 per cent of what was required last year.

Today marks five years since the passing of Paddy Ashdown. I was lucky to have him join me on the campaign trail back in the 2016 Richmond Park by-election when we visited the brilliant @TheRozana. He was an inspiration to all who knew him, and he is sorely missed.

We cannot wait for others to catch up. The world is burning. We need action now and the only party that can stop this Greensliding is the Liberal Democrats. We have shown that action speaks louder than words.

Liberal Democrats are committed to ending First Past The Post and implementing Proportional Representation so that every vote matters. #ChangeTheVotingSystem @MakeVotesMatter

Five years ago today many of us were waking up to the shocking news of the passing of Paddy Ashdown. A hardworking local MP that many miss to this day and many still talk about on the doorstep. We miss him dearly and our thoughts are with Jane and Paddy's family at this time.

It's absolutely clear: This Conservative government has betrayed our schools and let down our children.

This morning, I presented my bill to ensure rural residents can access major employment & education hubs by public transport. The bill, due to have its second reading on January 26th, would set minimum service levels for public transport in rural areas.

I have joined 32 other county authority leaders (25 Con, 4 LibDem, 2Lab 1 Ind) in writing to Michael Gove warning of the dire financial consequences facing our councils. Councils in England warn of growing financial crisis bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
