Lovely to meet my constituent, Christine, today at a reception for @TargetOvarian
Diagnosis and treatment for ovarian cancer doesn’t have to leave the whole family feeling devastated and uncertain about the future.

What a pleasure to bump into a triumphant @RichardFoordLD this morning!
The newest Lib Dem MP has every reason to be proud of an astounding victory.
It’s all to play for. Good luck Richard! 🔶
Polls are now open in Tiverton and Honiton and the result could come down to just a handful of votes.
Vote for @RichardFoordLD before 10pm tonight 🔶🗳🕙
So pleased to speak to the team from @great_together and support their important message of unity.
I’m proud to work with MPs from all parties on issues that matter.
In Parliament and across the country, we all have #MoreInCommon than that which divides us 💜
'Homes for Ukraine' is supposed to provide families fleeing the war with safe shelter throughout the UK.
Yet families are still unable to reach their hosts, with hundreds in Scotland stuck in hotels.
The Scottish and UK Governments need to get these people into their new homes.
Delighted! Susan is a dedicated local champion and she will make a first class MP for East Dunbartonshire.
Susan Murray is our candidate to be East Dunbartonshire's next MP.
The SNP have been awful for Scotland. Meanwhile the Conservatives are reduced to making excuses for Boris Johnson's lies.
In East Dunbartonshire a vote for Susan will send a message that it is time for a change.
Get your applications in by Friday!
🚨We're hiring up north!

I better remember to vote!
Jamie Stone forecasted to Hold Caithness Sutherland & Easter Ross with a margin of 1 vote 😅. https://twitter.com/ElectionMapsUK/status/1537417507006558210
Witness the level of contempt the Conservatives hold for rural communities...
Tory MPs mock a question about rural poverty in England

It doesn’t make sense that a driver can hit Hattie without having to tell me or alert the authorities.
The Road Traffic Act needs to protect Cats.
Sign this petition to demand that it does #ProtectCats #RoadTrafficAct

Lending a hand in Stockland, Devon! 🌾
Motoring to victory in Tiverton and Honiton!
VROOM VROOM skrrrrr🏍
It was great to join @RichardFoordLD today in Honiton.
Richard has already hit the ground running and he’s going to make an excellent @LibDems MP for the people of Tiverton and Honiton 🔶
Local youth clubs are key to helping our kids get the best possible start in life.
It’s shocking that the local Honiton youth football club have had no one fighting their corner. I will do all I can to help Jon and the club get the space they need!
This #CarersWeek we are highlighting the amazing work done by carers. Many give up jobs or education to care for family in need.
Yet unpaid carers receive just £69.70 a week to survive on. Most of them haven’t had a break since COVID.
More must be done.
@Jamie4North says it shows a level of contempt for the British people he never thought he would witness in politics https://twitter.com/GroatNews/status/1533906715351035904
Boris Johnson wins confidence vote and remains Prime Minister http://dlvr.it/SRk9mH
It was a great honour to read a lesson at the Platinum Jubilee church service in my hometown town of Tain last night.
No one booed me as I entered the church!
A difficult day ahead for Douglas Ross
Superb broadcasting by the BBC tonight.

Seven years ago today Charles Kennedy left us.
He is absolutely not forgotten and will long remain a shining example of how politicians in all parties should conduct themselves.

Three staged reaction to this:
1. Wow, what a beautiful place to work
2. OMG, imagine trying to do delivery rounds for the place
3. But you'll have a spring in your step as you curse Connect's geocoding because you'll be doing it for @Jamie4North https://twitter.com/Jamie4North/status/1530132040858976259

"Rural communities rely on healthcare workers being able to travel to the elderly and the sick and yet rural nurses and carers are being left out of pocket.
Applause and empty gratitude isn't enough."

the Lib Dems are quite punchy these days
"How can the Scottish Government be effective in its policymaking, when Patrick Harvie, the minister responsible for home decarbonisation, does not even have an accurate picture of where and how Scotland’s homes are heated?"

The Culture Secretary must think again over plans to privatise Channel 4. There is no public support and no plan.
The Secretary of State should come to the Chamber to correct the record on the false claims she made during a DCMS committee hearing last week
WATCH: @agcolehamilton speaking on keeping care close to home.
Every single expectant mother in this country should be able to easily access maternity services close to them.
Sadly under the SNP this is far from the case for the people of Caithness.
Culture Secretary @NadineDorries should come to Parliament to correct her inaccurate evidence to @CommonsDCMS, says Lib Dem DCMS spokesperson @Jamie4North
.@Jamie4North calls on the culture secretary to come to the chamber and clarify her inaccuracies about Channel 4 in her evidence to the DCMS committee

Today is pansexual visibility day. 👋 I define as pan. To me it means that who I love is more influenced by the person’s personality and vibe rather than their gender. A new(ish) term for an old idea, and it can mean different things to others. Love is love. 🌈 #LGBTQ
The public deserve to know what was discussed between the PM and Sue Gray.
What does Number 10 have to hide?
How many bottles of Barefoot does it take to boot a barefaced liar?
Also claims were made by Culture Secretary about Channel 5 being big on “levelling up” whereas figs I had in front of me state that Channel 4 has SIX TIMES their regional spend and double what ITV puts in regions and nations. Here they are:

I've written to the UK Statistics Authority regarding @NadineDorries's misrepresentation of official statistics on the ownership of Channel 4.
The Secretary of State claimed that 96% of people agree with privatisation. The Government's own consultation says the exact opposite.🤦
"Highlanders who rely on the train network to access work, medical care and onward travel urgently need assurances from the government that their lives are not going to be turned upside down."

From Monday, the last train to Caithness will leave Inverness at 2pm.
On behalf of my constituents, I have asked @scotgov six questions about the ScotRail timetable cuts.
You couldn't make it up.
Less than a day after SNP-run ScotRail cut almost *one third* of its daily train services, the SNP's Shadow Secretary of State for Transport has just stood up in the House of Commons and said this...
Nadine thinks that C4 News is the problem, but her revenge mission will throw the UK's creative sector under the bus.
Countless opportunities, thousands of jobs outside of London, independent production companies, and much more than C4 News will suffer as a result.
“I’m not going to justify a news programme whose news anchor went out shouting obscenities about the Conservative Party”
Nadine Dorries is asked if privatising Channel 4 is “revenge” for their political stance

This is so powerful, so brave, and so inspiring.
In an ideal world it wouldn’t be, but in reality Jake’s coming out is a huge step forward for footballers and fans everywhere.
I am sure many are personally grateful to him for taking it. 🏳️🌈
Blackpool forward Jake Daniels speaks exclusively to @SkySportsNews on becoming the UK's first male professional footballer to come out publicly as gay since Justin Fashanu.

Channel 4 has a key role to play in levelling up, but not if it's sold off to the private sector.
100,000 opportunities for young people, £2 billion invested in Nations & Regions, and plans to become a digital-first platform.
C4 is owned by the public, for the public.
Channel 4 is a national treasure and the Government's plans to sell it off to the private sector are severely misjudged.
Almost half a million people agree...
Over 448,000 people have signed E.L McNally's petition to #SaveChannel4 from privatisation.
Today she delivered her petition to Downing Street alongside @Jamie4North and @PutneyFleur to tell the government to protect Channel 4 from privatisation.

Today is Nurses Day! I'm supporting @theRCN in showcasing the #BestofNursing.
Nurses in the Highlands, and across the UK, have played a vital part in looking after us - especially in the last two years.
Today and every day, we must appreciate their hard work!
There are more than 8,000 empty houses owned by the Ministry of Defence.
If these houses are fit-for-purpose, safe and clean, a lot of them could and should be used to house refugees who are awaiting permanent resettlement.
More details below...

The SNP are in-fighting and centralising. The Tories are parachuted into areas they don't understand.
Vote 🔸Liberal Democrat🔸 today for a robust, local voice for the Highlands.
When you elect a Scottish Liberal Democrat councillor you get a tireless champion who will fight for you and your community.
Vote Scottish Liberal Democrat today.
Great to have support today from @Jamie4North & @rongunn55
I've written to the Secretary of State for Digital and Media to ask that the Government does much more to advertise discounts on broadband packages for vulnerable households.
