“The incidents Munya describes, including homophobic, racist and xenophobic abuse on our streets, are truly disgusting.” – @jessbrownfullermp.bsky.social www.sussexexpress.co.uk/your-world/r...

On BBC Politics South, speaking about the crisis in #MentalHealth among young adults Chichester MP @jessbrownfullermp.bsky.social describes negative the knock-on effects on social and economic life on constituents.

Liberal Democrats working for you – and not just in Parliament, but right here in Chichester District Council and in West Sussex County Council.

The recent production of Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream was wonderfully imaginative and critically acclaimed. The performances of the actors was full of energy. Such a shame the actors felt this hostility in Chichester.

Hello! I’m Izabela Mayne, West Sussex County Councillor for the Witterings. I’ve been meaning to establish a presence here for a while. I’ll be using this account to share local news, council updates and information that may be useful to residents across the division. If you’re local, do say hello!

Chichester’s MP @jessbrownfullermp.bsky.social was pleased that West Sussex County Council agreed to meet with her to discuss flood preparedness. This marks a welcome change from last winter, when the previous Conservative administration declined her request www.sussexexpress.co.uk/your-world/p...

What @maxwilkinson.bsky.social is talking about applies to Chichester, which does not have enough police on the streets.

Time for US to get a new President. Pass it on

The Conservatives have effectively committed to even more unsustainable development. Building homes cannot be at the expense of our environment. We should overhaul the planning system to make our communities more sustainable. These plans would do the opposite. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We need action on fuel prices, says @jessbrownfullermp.bsky.social

I really hope the PM is serious about fixing care, and he can show it by getting on with the cross-party talks we started in July. This can’t just be a series of No10 headlines with no real action. I’ll do everything I can to put family carers at the heart of any solution.

Superintelligent AI is developing at extraordinary speed, and even tech leaders are sounding the alarm. The government needs to act now and strengthen global safeguards to prepare for the risks ahead. @JessBrownFullerMP.bsky.social

War in Europe. China flexing its economic power. Trump unsettling old alliances. The world has changed, and Britain must adapt. Our security and prosperity depend on a stronger partnership with Europe. @alpinkerton.bsky.social

The Brighton #LibDemConference hears @eddavey.libdems.org.uk explains why he cares, illustrated with a photo of his gran.

Cllr Lisa Spivey, leader GlosCC, says: “Liberal Democrats may not be be in government, but we are running the country.” We have just short of 3200 local councillors across Britain. #LibDemConference

#LiberalDemocratsConference: @jessbrownfullermp.bsky.social speaking against Domestic Abuse today, in favour of fixing family courts.

Dungeons&Dragons isn’t the only thing offered by West Sussex Library Service for those with SEND. It runs a disability register collecting information about children and young people to help plan and deliver their services. www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/politic...

Mobile telecoms are set to improve in Chichester city centre. This will help retailers and other businesses. But in suburbs just a few miles away, it can still be unreliable. What is the signal like where you are? www.sussexexpress.co.uk/your-world/c...

On Monday in parliament, @jessbrownfullermp.bsky.social asked Angela Rayner if she believed any resident in West Sussex was better off because of #LocalGovernmentReorganisation. Rayner apologised, which tells you all you need to know.

Over 31,000 people sat in A&E for more than 12 hours last year, according to data uncovered by the Lib Dems. The Government voted down our plan to end corridor care within a year. Nobody should be left like this. We'll keep pushing until it ends.

“People are fed up with false promises when it comes to water. Residents in Chichester face sky-high bills while effluent water is continually pumped into our precious waterways,” says @jessbrownfullermp.bsky.social www.sussexexpress.co.uk/your-world/p...

Yesterday in parliament, improved funding for West Sussex Fire & Rescue team was the subject of a very topical question by @jessbrownfullermp.bsky.social

Congratulations to Tim Murray @tim-murray.bsky.social and his campaign team, who turned a narrow 31 vote win ahead of Reform in May to a dominant 72% of the vote in the by-election in Uckfield yesterday!

Local LibDems working for you

Families face another £3.4bn bill for decades of water company neglect. Toothless Ofwat keeps rewarding failure. The Government promised to scrap it. It’s time to follow through and end the blank cheques.

Liberal Democrat led West Sussex County Council has launched a new Highway Ranger pilot to take action in local communities for cleaner and better-maintained streets. www.westsussex.gov.uk/news/a-fresh...

£20bn in debt. Customer bills soaring. 💩 in our rivers and beaches. Chance after chance to sort it out... ...instead they choose to fill their own pockets. Game over. The Govt must put Thames Water in Special Administration now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Training is underway! 🏃🏽‍♀️ With the Chichester Half Marathon and Great South Run coming up in October, I’m raising funds for the amazing Petworth Community Wellbeing Garden💚 Any donation, share or encouragement would mean so much! 🔗 localgiving.org/fundraising/... #Petworth #Fundraising #GreatSouthRun

Nearly everyone knows someone with special educational needs or a disability. For too long, they've been let down by a broken system. It's time they got the help they need.

From pensioners left bedbound to life savings being spent on dementia care, our system better resembles the 1920s than the 2020s. Andy Burnham must work with local government and the NHS to finally end the social care crisis.

Travel on the bus this August for free for children aged between 5 - 25 years. Great way to spend the summer holidays, visiting friends, visiting new places and helping families during the cost of living crisis. #Westsussex #summerbusfare #freebusfare #Summerholidays

‘How to fix #SocialCare without raising taxes’ is the headline.

We’re already spending £35bn a year on a broken social care system. All political parties should recognise the urgent need to fix the social care crisis. @LaylaMoran.bsky.social

It’s not just the capacity to supply clean water, but also to process foul drainage from new housing developments, as we know too well in Chichester.

Now, more than ever, we should be saying: No to dirty money in politics.

Got to love Ed Davey

Chichester’s MP @jessbrownfullermp.bsky.social supported the Coastguard Rescue Officer Payments urgent motion, and invited the Minister to visit Selsey in her constituency and meet the dutiful Coastguard officers who will be affected.

Happy July 4 America! 🇺🇸 Yesterday I had the opportunity to see a piece of American history, in the heart of Chichester! Did you know we have one of only two copies of the original Declaration of Independence? More information is available on the Events tab on the West Sussex Record Office website

The Amos Review into maternity services has been published today. We're calling on the government to implement its recommendations in full, invest in safe staffing, and ensure women are listened to. Families deserve safe, compassionate maternity care wherever they live.

Watch @joshuareynoldssl6.bsky.social GRILL eBay bosses. If Joshua can find banned, unsafe products on eBay with 30 seconds of Googling, why can't eBay identify them and stop them being sold?

WSCC LibDem Councillors Izabela Mayne @izu75.bsky.social and Tracie Bangert at Witterings Library and with the Royal British Legion on Armed Forces Day

West Sussex carer population appears to be growing with around 350 ‘new’ carers registering every month for support with @carerswsussex.bsky.social (CSWS) the commissioned provider of the countywide Carer Information, Advice, Assessment & Support contract.

The carousel of Prime Ministers keeps turning, but nothing really changes. This time must be different. Real change – transforming our broken politics so we can fix our country.

At West Sussex County Council this week, the new Alliance Administration has been facing scrutiny committees. LibDems identified £13.6M overspend in the previous administration and the work still to be done in Adult Services and #SocialCare www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
