The Government has doubled down on the harmful family farm tax, and it puts treasured farms here in Newbury and West Berkshire at real risk. This is not good news.

Two important wins today: the two-child benefit cap will be scrapped, and British horseracing gets the support it needs — a real boost for Newbury.
Still lots more to fight for, but this is progress for families and our local economy.

Today is Budget Day.
The Lib Dems are calling for an emergency plan to help households & high streets now, tackle the cost-of-living crisis, & get our economy growing again over the next 18 months.
I want the UK to succeed, that starts with supporting people & communities.

I’m in Trafalgar Square with farmers ahead of the Budget announcement, talking about the rural economy and inheritance tax.
These issues matter hugely to Newbury and West Berkshire, and I’ll keep making sure our rural communities are heard.

Yesterday, I raised the urgent need for the UK to increase humanitarian aid to Gaza & the West Bank.
123,000 pregnant women are facing severe malnutrition, inadequate medical care & rising risks to themselves & their babies.

Yesterday, I asked the Government how service families will be protected while a massive housing upgrade programme is underway. Broken boilers, damp, leaking roofs cannot wait. They deserve decent homes now.

New laws require social housing landlords to fix dangerous homes, a vital step for tenants living in damp, mouldy, unsafe housing.
But the Govt must go further. We need an emergency home upgrade programme to cut bills & keep homes warm. More here: www.leedillon.co.uk/post/safe-wa...
