MPs have BACKED @sarahjolney1's Lib Dem bill on electoral reform. This is a historic day for fair votes. Today, as we have done for a century, Liberal Democrats are leading the fight for fair votes and making sure that no one can be ignored in our democracy. Fixing our broken electoral system, introducing fair votes, and making sure everyone's voice matters is the best way to rebuild trust in our politics. We are grateful to all MPs who have backed our call. The government must now listen to the will of the House, make time for the legislation and make fairer a votes a reality and we will be holding their feet to the fire to make this happen.
Liberal Democrats@LibDems

MPs will today vote on @sarahjolney1's bill, which would introduce electoral reform and proportional representation to elections in England. Following years of the Conservatives’ denigrating standards in public life, we urgently need to restore the public’s trust in politics. Fixing our voting system is a perfect start. First Past the Post is not fit for purpose. We believe every vote should count equally. We are calling for Labour MPs to vote with their own members and back this Bill.

Deeply disappointing our motion for WFP pause & rethink was rejected by @exeterlabour en-bloc last night. They will let pensioners go cold this Winter. Challenging for pensioners to claim & leaves many on wrong side of the line for vital support. More: exeterlibdems.org.uk/news/article/e…

Proud to attend and speak at the @Right_2Roam @EveryonesStars rally outside of the Supreme Court today. Access to nature is a fundamental necessity for all of us. It’s a tragedy that this principle must be tested, yet again, in the court room.

@DevonCC is consulting on improvements to four bus corridor areas in the city: devon.gov.uk/roads-and-tran… Better bus infrastructure not only improves the reliability of buses, it also improves blue light response times, taxi costs, and cycling safety.

"I tell you what is the best deterrent, competence." - @timfarron on #BBCQT Instead of wasting money on failed schemes like the Rwanda Plan, let's process asylum claims quickly. Return those who aren't refugees humanely, and welcome those who are.

@MichaelCla62251 Agreed, @ExeterCAB provide vital frontline services & we're strongly opposed to their support having to be cut. We put pressure on Labour to reverse the cuts (which have also lacked proper consultation) in the council chamber, on leaflets & in our city council manifesto.

@ExeterLibDems One way of protecting pensioners would be to challenge the end of financial support by Exeter Council for Citizens Advice. I'm puzzled by you not challenging the end of their grant funding. Citizens Advice exists in part to help pensioners claim Pension Credit and other help.

Ed: asks emotional question about what advice Starmer would give a full-time carer forced back into work to earn enough to care for his wife - now set to lose winter fuel payments. Starmer: the Tories crashed the economy! We need to stabilise it by letting old people go cold. 🙄

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey asks the PM what advice he has for pensioners facing rising heating bills this winter Keir Starmer says the government has taken “tough decisions” to “stabilise the economy”, but will put "all the support in that we can" #PMQs bbc.in/3yT5PtO

The Erasmus Scheme provides a fantastic opportunity for young people to study, teach and volunteer abroad. The new Government should be more ambitious about rebuilding stronger relationships with our European neighbours.

This is not only unimaginative: this is Labour yet again putting their financial woes ahead of the needs of our city. 3/3

The news comes as @ExeterCouncil sets plans to hike already high parking charges across #Exeter. Car parks are one of ECC's few revenue raising powers. Make no mistake, this is a cash grab by Labour following their wasted millions & new govt's refusal to fix council funding. 2/3

This site could serve so many much needed purposes - including hosting a market, performance venue, or social housing. But Labour are taking steps to make it a car park.. despite the impending climate crisis & 6 within 500m with plenty spare capacity. 1/3 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
