We now have our first three electric vans, you'll see these traveling around Ipswich undertaking daily inspections. The vans can travel approx. 120 – 140 miles on a single battery charge. #ElectricVehicles #Suffolk

One of the first questions we, #Excludeduk get asked is. What do we want? At this stage our main ask is that @RishiSunak comes to the table and converses with us. When you’ve excluded 3 million people, that’s not too much to ask is it? @CarolineLucas @timfarron @wesstreeting

It's really nice that you can sit down beside her. And she is not defined and constrained by heavy clothes as so many statues of women are (nor has she forgotten to wear any, like Mary Wollstonecraft)
We see a lot of debate about the #Wollstonecraft statue ...
Our #VirginiaWoolf #statue, still in fundraising, can be seen below in progress. What are your thoughts?

Very disappointed that the Conservatives have voted down amendments which would have protected UK food and farming standards in trade deals.
Thank you to the dozen or so Tory MPs who had the guts to defy the whip but sadly too many were happy to chuck British farmers under a bus

“Greater democracy, greater liberties, greater freedom”
Inspiring maiden speech from @libdemdaisy today- showing that the arguments for liberalism and internationalism are just as resonant today as they have always been.
Saw this at sadlers wells. Amazing and emtional

Am proud to belong to such a unanimous political group as @Suffolk_LDGI. The cost to #Suffolk of Sizewell C outweighs any supposed benefit. @SayNo2SizewellC @teags @SuffCoastGreens @JulesEwartSuff @WoodbridgeDeben @EamonnO @WoodbridgeCllr

The Government should try to achieve net zero emissions by 2040 or even 2030 and earlier than that if possible
Why ‘net zero emissions by 2050’ needs a Green New Deal! This week the #ClimateChange Committee has made its recommendations, what now? ow.ly/3KGg50tYl5D @LibDems @NEF @LibDemsNow @soclibforum @ALDC @LibDemWomen @VC4PM @BaronessKramer @GJAlliance @hazardscampaign @ALDC

Jo reminding us what tonight and the last three years have all been about for @libdems. We must stop Brexit. Goosebumps stuff. It's great that Gabriel is so unphased by the whole thing.
The Britain we know and love is better than this. Britain is outward-looking, open-hearted and open-minded.
Our children deserve a better future than Brexit Britain.
Let's stop Brexit, and build that better future together.

I hate being a Cassandra. But I've been warning abt #Brexit and vital meds shortages for a long time now. #ProjectFear? Alas no- and it gives me no joy to have been right
Questioned Health Minister Stephen Hammond about insulin shortages and #Brexit during this morning's debate. Minister has just confirmed - on the record - that as of this morning *the Government is now stockpiling insulin.*

Suffolk County Council Full Council today. Sadly, the #Conservative administration voted down my #IWD Women's Data Gap #BalanceforBetter motion. (They'd been whipped, so their objections made little sense in relation to my speech...) 妇女能顶半边天.@Suffolk_LDGI @SuffolkLibDems
