Well done! This is so important.

Alison Bennett @alisonebennett.bsky.social · 2d

This afternoon I presented my Hospices and Palliative Care Bill to Parliament.

The bill would place a duty on the Secretary of State to ensure the availability and adequacy of hospice services for all people at the end of life.

Everyone deserves dignity at the end of life.

I am honoured to have been selected as the Lib Dem candidate for Mayor of Sussex.

I want to win with unity, not division, promoting a prosperous and green future for our county.

Many people have lost all faith in politics, it's time we restored some hope.

So sorry Arun! All the 4 West Sussex councils that are without borrowing debt are LibDem led.

Credit to Mid Sussex District Council for ending another year 24/25 without borrowing debt. The 3 LibDem run councils in West Sussex were among the 4 districts and boroughs with this result in the county. Photo Mid Sussex Times 11/9/25.

“We have created incentives to try to retain our most precious resource, which is our senior management team.”

If you wanted a damning example of the culture in the water industry, you could not ask for much better than this from the chairman of Thames Water.

The Prime Minister claims he wants to speed up social care reform, but he keeps slowing down.

Waiting until 2036 to fix social care isn’t good enough.
