A fitting send off today to a giant of our politics. Ming, we miss you but will continue on towards the vision you inspired in us.

Thanks to the Minister for referring back to Taylor in their summing up.
“Thanks for sharing Taylor's moving story, and I am pleased he is now thriving.”

My first speech back in Parliament was on the SEND crisis.
I shared the stories of Kaisey & Taylor, showing how early support can transform lives
I also called for an end to repeated GCSE retakes, which cause unnecessary stress for some young people
SEND is in crisis; I will keep fighting to fix it

Most police front counters in London are being closed - but the Mayor welcomes a few being saved.....

It was humbling to meet & talk to the Ukrainian Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk during his visit to Westminster
He epitomises the courage & resilience of the people of Ukraine.
I welcome the announcement today of additional sanctions on Russia and the UKs renewed commitment to peace in Europe 🇺🇦

As a vet and MP, I’ve seen both sides of this issue — the heartbreak for pet owners facing huge vet bills, and the pressure on vets doing their best within a broken system.

40% of hospices in England are preparing to cut services or stop end of life care in 6 months. They're at breaking point.

I’ve seen this first-hand as our own Dorothy House faces a severe funding shortfall.

That's why we Lib Dems are calling on the Government to support their vital work.

The Prime Minister's decision to recognise the state of Palestine was long overdue, but it is meaningless without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

Yesterday I asked the Prime Minister to confirm his commitment to making a two-state solution a reality.

Small local businesses are the backbone of our economy and give our towns the character that big chains simply can’t.

That’s why, at PMQs, I asked the Prime Minister whether he really believes Labour’s recent tax hikes are making things fair for small businesses.

'An essential condition today for entry into the upper echelons of Conservative party politics is being willing to at least pretend that you think taking Britain out of the EU was a good idea. This is a never-ending lobotomy for the Tories.'

Hong Kongers in St Albans and around the UK are asking whether the Prime Minister is trading their safety and security in our communities, in favour of having a cosier relationship with Beijing.

At #PMQs I challenged the Prime Minister directly on this

The awful attack on Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue is a stark reminder we must also address online spaces where hatred is amplified.

We need a review of OFCOM's guidance and categorisation under the Online Safety Act to ensure high-harm are properly regulated to prevent radicalisation.

Lib Dems press the Government for more reassurance on the rights of #HongKongers at Prime Minster Questions today.
- BNO
- targeted sanction on Chinese officials
- Stop mega embassy
- free Jimmy Lai

Elon Musk is stoking far-right extremism on our streets.

The Prime Minister should order a security assessment of the threat Musk poses to our democracy.

The Government must act now: restore funding to Arthur Rank Hospice, protect children’s hospice funding, reverse the damaging National Insurance hike, and ensure hospice funding always matches local need.

Good luck for tomorrow!

My friend Ming Campbell had so many strengths. Olympian, statesman, party leader.

At St Andrews, where he was Chancellor for almost twenty years, he gave so much to generations of students. Wendy Chamberlain and I were proud to honour his legacy in the place he loved.

We cannot allow Gaza's fragile ceasefire to falter. All sides must fulfil their obligations. The Hamas terrorists must immediately retrieve and release all hostage bodies. The Israeli Government must allow the immediate and unimpeded flow of long-overdue aid into Gaza.

Could it be you? New vacancy listed on Lib Dem website: Senior Media Officer
