Genuinely disappointed. I’ve seen four people come down the zipwire outside the @LibDems conference, and none of them have been @EdwardJDavey!

Nice to meet up with @samlibdem last week

@ThatsManchester Brilliant that you’ve picked up on their work. So proud of them.

"Set up due to a lack of creative pathways for young artists with disabilities." A theatre group for young artists in Oldham have shared how they aim to develop equal opportunities for those interested in the arts with disabilities. That's TV's, Sasha Jackson, spoke with those involved in the project and brings you this report.

@solly72375 @LibDems @LisaSmartMP @grok Ah wait, it seems I don’t need grok to do it; you’re just going to keep giving examples.

@samlibdem @LibDems @LisaSmartMP @grok So you support Palestine action correct?

"The right to peaceful protest is absolutely fundamental to our democracy." @LisaSmartMP

@solly72375 @LibDems @LisaSmartMP @grok define a straw man argument.

@LibDems @LisaSmartMP And what about openly supporting a terrorist organisation?

We spoke to @MetroUK about sexual consent and the common myths around it. 📱 To read more about consent, visit our website: bit.ly/4hzZ4Ot metro.co.uk/2025/02/14/con…

Lots on this week, including plenty of work on Saddleworth's Neighbourhood Plan, which now includes four new "Local Green Spaces" – protected areas which are given the same priority as "green belt".

The #GranadaDebate returns to our screens at 22:45 tonight! Should there be a national public inquiry into grooming gangs? Is an NHS winter crisis the new normal? And what should we make of plans for an AI revolution? With: 🔴 @ConnorRand4ASW 🔵 @LauraEvansTeam 🟡 @samlibdem

After Elon Musk labelled @edwardjdavey a ‘snivelling cretin’, the Lib Dem leader tells @andrewmarr9 that he’s not 'worried' about the billionaire’s sharp tongue. Instead he is bothered about Musk’s calls to "overthrow" the UK’s democratically elected government.

@elonmusk If you care about these girls, donate some money to one of the amazing services looking after abused women in Oldham, like @kogs1

Why?

Latest news from the borough: More than £5,000 Town Council rebrand blasted for botched use of Latin Shaw and Crompton Town Council has been at blasted after a name change and design rebrand costing taxpayers more than £5,000. Imprint: buff.ly/3Oq1KlJ

@everythingj4ck @LibDems @Lisa_Smart We believe justice shouldn’t check your passport first.

@LibDems @Lisa_Smart Do you people actually do anything for native Britons or do you only ever focus on spraying taxpayer money away on anyone who isn’t?

For too long, the Windrush generation has been shamefully let down by the previous Conservative Government. This Black History Month, @Lisa_Smart pushed the Home Secretary to take action to right these wrongs.

@josephtiman Nice to hear - haven’t heard anything from the council.

🚨 Two exclusive about the trouble brewing at Tameside council incoming @MENnewsdesk

Just watching @jessphillips on BBC Breakfast talking about a brilliant initiative to tackle domestic abuse through call centres. When we talk about constructive opposition, supporting things like this is, to my mind, what it is all about.

@MarishaRayLD @UnlockDemocracy @LibDem4ER @wendychambLD @Lisa_Smart @jillongovt @pathwithanr The Scottish Parliamentary electoral system is PR (Additional Members System).

@UnlockDemocracy @LibDem4ER @wendychambLD @Lisa_Smart @jillongovt @pathwithanr I have been contacted by some who are not White, who would prefer the system for electing the Scottish Parliament to PR because it is less likely to cause detriment to the people who are not White. Lack of concern about the welfare of people of diverse ethnic groups is concerning

Top speakers for our fringe with @LibDem4ER at #LibDemConference24 @wendychambLD @Lisa_Smart @jillongovt @pathwithanr Very reassuring that, in spite of Lib Dem voters securing, for once, roughly their fair share of MPs, Lib Dem MPs are still firm on #ProportionalRepresentation

@Harrison4Dawn @Lisa_Smart She’s still in the chamber at the moment, but against the withdrawal of the winter fuel payment. Full vote result is here: votes.parliament.uk/votes/commons/…

@Lisa_Smart And how did you vote Lisa? I’d like to know since you are currently my MP

It’s been an incredibly busy day at Parliament (and outside) today. I attended drop-ins about the state of community pharmacies and the forthcoming Water Bill, before heading into the chamber for the debates on the Winter Fuel Payments.

@sugs75 @JustGiving You deserve all our support. We’re lucky to have you.

@samlibdem @JustGiving Thank you so much sir for all your incredible support. I honestly can’t thank you enough.

I've #justsponsored Ibby Captain of TeamIbby, who's fundraising for Northcare Charity on @JustGiving. Donate now justgiving.com/page/captainib…

Councils across the UK are being pushed to breaking point by the spiralling costs of homelessness. The last Government failed to come to their aid. I therefore just asked this Chancellor and her team to urgently intervene to support our councils, and those facing homelessness👇

@HannahPerkin Proud of you all.

Not so nice out now but every vote is going to count 🔶
