🚨BREAKING🚨

MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union.

The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.

Children with SEND deserve real support, not empty promises.
Photo of Liberal Democrat MP Munira Wilson and a quote from her. The text overlay on the right side of the graphic reads: "Children and families have been failed by governments unwilling to face a simple truth: children with special educational needs thrive when they can learn in safe, supportive settings. This announcement must be matched by ambitious reforms. Children with SEND must be identified earlier and given help throughout their school journey. The Government must stand up to the private equity firms and introduce a cap on the profits and reinvest them into the support that children need. MUNIRA WILSON"

We're delighted that in our neighbouring constituency, Steve Hunt was elected to be a @libdems.org.uk @eastdevon.bsky.social councillor for #Seaton.
The previous councillor had been elected as a Conservative district councillor in May 2023 and then became independent.

Emma from Sidmouth is one of thousands of people across Devon who care for their loved ones, on top of their day job. I am pleased that the Government used some warm words about carers in the Budget. Carers need certainty for the long term too.
