It was a real pleasure to chat again with voters in #Reigate today. Across #Surrey, all-out elections to new unitary councils -- East and West -- are going ahead in May. Residents have two votes for two candidates. The chance for a fresh start across the whole area.

Colchester @marksandspencer I asked where the women’s changing room was to try on swimwear. Manager Andrew (he/ his /him) says gender neutral changing areas are “completely safe” for women and girls. For asking him this question, he told me to leave the store. @SexMattersOrg

While Farage pockets millions as a "reward" for Brexit, the rest of us are left with soaring energy bills, political chaos and a broken economy. He only cares about himself and his wealthy donors. It is up to all of us to make sure he never becomes prime minister.

I was socially murdered once when I was told to stay out of the penguin enclosure at the zoo. I literally died of their refusal to throw me a herring.

A lot of people have struggled to believe me when I say that the Australian Human Rights Commission is giving pregnancy protections in law to men who claim to be woman, because it’s so stupid it’s hard to believe anyone would say it. Enjoy:

@stellacreasy MPs can vote down the new EHRC code, though doubt they will. Game over.

The new EHRC guidance on how to ensure equal rights of all to access basic services falls short of being inclusive or workable in the real world - I will continue to work with other MPs who recognise this to navigate how we change that. Given how toxic discussion of trans rights has become am not going to respond to comments here because doubt will help anyone. Posting this video so residents in Walthamstow know of my concerns and actions. Also want to flag to any Walthamstow resident who wants to talk my next open public forum for political debate is on Thursday 28th May at 7pm and all welcome - email my office to rsvp for venue details.

Statement from @MForstater on the EHRC Code of practice for services, public functions and associations before parliament. Women were right. The time for excuses is over.

The Lib Dems often complain they don't get enough media coverage (and they have a point). In the case of the David Campanale judgment I suspect they're glad about that. I'm sorry I missed the story last month. It's a blistering indictment of the Lib Dems from top to bottom.
@Tomorrow'sMPs@tomorrowsmps

🟠SUTTON & CHEAM: I should have included this last month: London County Court decided David Campanale suffered 5 counts of "unlawful religious discrimination" when Lib Dems deselected him as candidate & replaced him with Luke Taylor: insidecroydon.com/2026/04/30/sut…

@tomorrowsmps Thanks, Michael. Small clarification; the court did not decide the case. Rather the party (at all levels) has admitted the case in full in order to avoid a trial. A judge then by order formalised this.

🟠 SUTTON & CHEAM: the court judgment implicates senior Lib Dems at all levels, including Ed Davey's office, and new MP Luke Taylor. Campanale says Taylor "carries responsibility for significant law-breaking", and he's claiming £250,000 cost, plus damages from the party.

Trump: We lost 13 people. In other wars, you lost hundreds of thousands of people. I get a kick when I look at somebody on television and they say, 'he's lost 13 people.'

We should not allow political parties, leaders, and elections to be bought and sold. @Nigel_Farage cannot say that he has not been bought for £5m and what he is doing with the money. I told @UKHouseofLords that we need to put a cap on the maximum size of donations to parties.

@LibDemPeers @mikedixn So how about understanding and listening to women? How about upholding the law rather than sweeping party scandals under the carpet yet again?

New Lib Dem Peer @mikedixn used his maiden speech to make a simple case: the best decisions come from truly understanding people. From Citizens Advice to drug and alcohol services, he has spent a career proving it.

Juliet's full speech is here which puts her comments in the context of freedom of expression, the Nolan principle of telling the truth and the importance of not weaponising the council complaints process for 'vexatious and politically motived complaints.' #WomenWontWheesht

Hear truth from one of our founders @JulietLine in the council chamber yesterday. "This might be an uncomfortable truth, an inconvenient truth, or, indeed, a distressing truth, for some, but nonetheless, it is a truth. And any definition of woman cannot include any kind of men"

.@RichardDawkins speaks about leader of the @LibDems (Sir Ed Davey) showing a 'contempt for science and evidence-based truth' with his interviews saying women can have a p8nis. We know Ed doesn't think this - why won't Ed be honest? Trans capture & inability to stand up to TRAs?
Richard Dawkins@RichardDawkins

The leader of the Lib Dems, and the leader and deputy leader of the Green party, think some women have penises. In itself, it seems like a relatively unimportant matter. But it is symptomatic of a contempt for science and evidence-based truth. Could you vote for a flat-Earther?
