"Brexit was sold as a solution to border control, yet evidence now suggests it's helping drive the small boats crisis.
"With the France deal falling short, will the government admit Brexit is a major factor and pursue a comprehensive EU asylum agreement?"

After months of delay, the Government's online safety plans don't go far enough.
Children deserve better than this rushed hodgepodge of social media restrictions, which don't keep them safe, nor hold tech companies feet to the fire.

I sit on the @CommonsHCLG. Today, we have released a report on the affordability of home ownership - calling for the government to abolish stamp duty, tackle empty homes and sell surplus public sector land to build homes.

At the weekend we launched our national survey asking the public: Is Politics Working?
We do not believe it is - and we believe that if we are going to fix the country, we need to fix our politics
But we want to know what YOU think
Take the survey today digitallibdems.typeform.com/โฆ

The energy operators have made huge windfall profits in the past five years.
We want to claw back that money and use it to reduce people's energy bills.

Energy is not a luxury. It is essential.
That's why we have a plan to halve energy bills in the long term, and to help make sure everyone can afford their essential energy needs today.

Every single household in Britain should be able to afford their basic everyday energy needs. Families deserve stability, not sticking-plaster solutions.
Our Essential Energy Guarantee would use the huge windfall profits of the big energy network operators to cut your bills.

I'm delighted to say that in the recent local elections, I was elected in Reigate to the new East Surrey Council, where @LibDems also won overall control. For all of us, this is an huge honour, privilege and responsibilty. We intend to use it well.

I spoke on shady party funding in parliament yesterday.
For too long uncapped donations have allowed for a huge amount of influence to be exercised on our democracy from outside of our political system.
Itโs time for that to change.

A message for Burnham if he becomes an MP, or even PM: Stick with it. Don't follow Blair or Farage and roll back on your commitment to PR if you decide the current system favours you
To fix the country we have to fix politics & that has to start with the voting system

Definitely a case for better road safety, but it shouldnโt take someone getting seriously injured to make it happen @SurreyCouncil
