The key lesson from the US mid-terms for everyone in or aspiring to politics is:
* Never take your original support for granted.
* Don't let power go to your head.
* And respect the voters who put you there.
Trump failed on all 3 measures.

At a Highways (Financing) Bill Scrutiny Committee meeting in Parliament yesterday, and we're pleased that the @LibDems' @OllyGloverLD MP referenced our director of public affairs and policy, @RHADeclan who gave evidence to them last week. The discussion is on the impact that road users avoiding toll roads has on neighbouring routes - which can hit local economies.
Declan urged MPs to take realities of transport operators into account when financing new projects. This includes on new tolls at a time when insolvencies and cost pressures are high. He also reiterated that our industry must adequately represented to ensure its needs are considered as the Bill is being further developed.

And this in the same year as voters turfed out Orban in Hungary. Good things can happen. Better things are possible. Democracy can deliver.

This is an extraordinary result: a rejection of Vučić’s government’s authoritarian suppression of opposition and a victory for democracy and free speech. The Student List have shown amazing courage. Putin will be furious to lose one of his loyal allies.

In Serbia, @avucic has conceded defeat. The Students’ List has won an absolute majority in the elections. Celebrations have begun in the streets across Serbia.
Sound familiar?
Very bright headlights are a major hazard on unlit roads during dark hours.
We all need to consider what we can do ourselves to prevent this, but it is critical the government understands the issue better and takes regulatory action.

Imagine giving 53 years to your party, then being told you can't stand because you believe in human rights.
The Tories have lost a decent man & a powerful voice for London.
Yet again, Badenoch’s Conservatives are happy to chase Reform UK and exclude tolerant, liberal Londoners

Today is #SUDEPActionDay2026
We are uniting with the epilepsy community and organisations around the world to #StopSUDEP. 💜
Together, we can turn awareness into meaningful impact and ensure that everyone affected by epilepsy gets the guidance and resources they deserve.
They say imitation is the best form of flattery, so good that the government has embraced this Lib Dem policy.
They can be similarly enlightened by listening to us on the need for tough action on illegal use of e-bikes, and for stronger service standards on public transport.

Сегодня Петербург подвергся массированной атаке беспилотников.
Для меня это удары по сердцу. Петербург – мой родной город, где остаются почти все мои родные, друзья и близкие. Я искренне тревожусь за них, за любимый город, за каждого мирного человека, чья жизнь и безопасность оказались под угрозой.
Но при всей этой боли и тревоге мы должны ясно понимать главное: основной виновник происходящего – Владимир Путин.
Именно он развязал подлую, бессмысленную, кровавую и преступную войну против Украины. Именно он принес войну на украинскую землю, а теперь ее последствия приходят и в российские города.
Украина защищается. Украина имеет право защищаться от агрессии и наносить ответные удары по военным объектам и инфраструктуре, обеспечивающей путинскую военную машину. И она будет продолжать сопротивление, пока продолжается российская агрессия.
Можно и нужно переживать за Петербург, за его жителей, за своих близких. Но нельзя позволять этой тревоге заслонять правду о том, кто начал эту войну и кто несет главную ответственность за ее продолжение.
Не Украина принесла войну в Россию. Это Путин принес войну в Украину – и теперь она возвращается в Россию, в Петербург.
Я хочу, чтобы мой родной Петербург жил в мире. Чтобы его жители не боялись ночных взрывов. Чтобы никто не погибал – ни в Петербурге, ни в Киеве, ни в Харькове, ни в Одессе.
И путь к этому только один: прекращение путинской агрессии, вывод российских войск из Украины и окончание этой преступной войны.
У этой войны есть имя. Кровавая кремлевская чмоль Владимир Путин. Путин не из Петербурга.
Он из КГБ.

President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin’s war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.
Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin’s war machine.
As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.
America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.
Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.
