@LibDems MP for Lewes constituency. Europe Spokesperson. Proud dad of two.
"We're clamping down on this and smashing the business model of criminals selling these abused and smuggled puppies." @DannyVet
Truly incredible stuff from England. Resilient and determined with the ability when it mattered. Congratulations to our courageous Lionesses! #Euro2025
It's home, again.
Whether it is sky-high bills or the destruction of our natural environment, it’s time these failing water companies were held properly to account.
Mass starvation in Gaza and over 1,000 Palestinians killed while seeking aid since May. The government says the situation is intolerable yet they continue to tolerate it. The UK needs to stop all arms exports to the Israeli Government - today.
I am in touch with local authorities about this ongoing police response in #Newhaven. We don't know the facts of the incident yet but I will relay updates to residents as I get them.

Condemnation isn't enough. Children are starving to death and the Israeli govt presses on. Calls for a ceasefire are just ignored. The UK and our allies must act now. Recognise Palestine and sanction Netanyahu for a start. bbc.co.uk/news/live/cvg9…
So many young people have lost opportunities they never chose to give up. A proper youth mobility scheme can put that right-restoring the freedom to study, travel and thrive across Europe. Labour must show ambition–not water things down to appease Nigel Farage. @BestForBritain

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey asks Keir Starmer if he would consider direct sanctions on Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu The PM says "the only way a lasting solution" can be happen is if remaining Israeli hostages are released and aid is allowed into Gaza #PMQs bbc.in/4eOhjyW
HG is a brutal pregnancy condition - relentless vomiting, dehydration, malnutrition. Xonvea can help, but too many women face a postcode lottery to get it. I pressed the PM today for action and a meeting to fix this. Women deserve better. @HGSupportUK
The UK should stand with allies like Canada, not bow to bullies like Trump. It's time to strengthen partnerships, not reward threats.
"There's no specific offence of domestic abuse in the law" Lib Dem MP Josh Babarinde speaks to @bbcnickrobinson about persuading ministers to change the domestic abuse law after his own ordeal Listen to #PoliticalThinking in full on @BBCSounds 🎧 bbc.in/4nIhboM
Today is Srebrenica Memorial Day — 30 years since the horrific genocide in Bosnia. I’ve signed the Srebrenica Book of Memorial. Never again must we stand by. We must learn the lessons of the past, speak out and act against atrocities wherever they occur.


'This Government made a cynical calculation that these women [#WASPI] can be ignored and wd not fight back and would not keep pushing' says @JamesMacCleary. 'This decision cannot and will not stand'. @RLong_Bailey MPs with #Integrity #Honesty bit.ly/4eHhUlW
Great to meet constituents in Parliament today to talk climate action — cleaning up our rivers and oceans, investing in nature-based solutions, boosting biodiversity, and supporting active travel. I really enjoyed our discussion - thank you for making the journey to Westminster!


Today I met President Macron and discussed the once-in-a-generation threat that Putin poses to Europe’s collective security. We must work together to seize frozen Russian assets, and repurpose them for Ukraine's defence.
Myself and over 40 other @LibDems MPs have written to the Govt urging action on the unfair 90-day limit for UK nationals visiting Europe. UK artists, drivers and tourists need fair, reciprocal travel arrangements so they can work, tour and travel without unnecessary barriers 👇


After a terrible incident on Monday, the PM has agreed to look into unblocking funding for vital A259 safety improvements after I raised it in Parliament. People in Newhaven, Seaford & our coastal towns deserve safer roads.
Thank you, @benjaminhaddad and @SDoughtyMP, for instigating this most important and timely meeting. Georgia needs the UK now – the FCDO must step up.
Les dérives autoritaires du rêve géorgien sont inacceptables. J’ai participé aujourd’hui à une réunion de coordination avec des pays partenaires initiée par @SDoughtyMP sur la situation en Géorgie. Cette trajectoire va à l’encontre de l'aspiration européenne du peuple géorgien…
It’s deeply humbling to be mentioned by Zurab Japaridze in his powerful letter from prison. Ivanishvili and his corrupt government must face immediate UK sanctions. Zurab and every Georgian political prisoner deserve freedom and justice – now.
