We can change the system. We can give people real hope. We can deliver a fair deal.

Today is Less Survivable Cancers Awareness Day.
The @LibDems are calling on govt to pass a Cancer Survival Research Act, to ensure research funding into the cancers with the lowest survival rates, including lung, liver, brain & pancreatic cancer, and some childhood cancers.
“This Bill is an investment in our future, and it is an investment we must make. Because we owe it to this generation of young people.”
@Munirawilson introduces her bill to Parliament, which would place a qualified mental health professional in every school.
The Liberal Democrats are the leading Conservative MP removal service in the Blue Wall and beyond. Four historic by-election wins and sweeping gains in last May’s local elections show that voters across the country are turning to us for change.

Our political system has been fundamentally broken for generations.
And only we – Liberal Democrats – will fix it.

As we welcome the New Year, we can all be hopeful that 2024 will be a year of change. Not just change to who sits in power – but to change where power sits too.
Rishi Sunak knows he has no good story to tell on the economy so now he has resorted to making one up.
The PM's misleading claims to be reducing debt are straight from the Boris Johnson playbook and risk undermining trust in Government.
It is right he has been called out on it.
‘Being a carer is harder than being a politician’. @RSylvesterTimes and I interview @EdwardJDavey, Liberal Democrat leader on a life of astonishing resilience.

"We think there should be a special minimum wage for carers... People in this country would be more attracted to it."
Lib Dem Leader Sir Ed Davey says there needs to be a 'revolution' in care and that a shift in policy could 'bring real change quite quickly'.

Millions of people across the country are unable to get an NHS dentist.
Everyone should be able to access an NHS dentist if needed and no-one should be forced to choose between paying hundreds for private care or going without.

Free school meals help children grow up healthy and improve their learning too. They are a great investment.
@LibDems have consistently been calling for free school meals to be extended to all primary pupils and all secondary pupils in poverty.
On the 75th Anniversary of the NHS and as Health & social care spokesperson for the @LibDems, I want to say a big thank you to all our NHS workers #NHSBirthday
Pupils were sent home for two months, studied in church & village halls and were bussed miles to other schools when their classrooms were ruled unsafe.
Each shut school is a concrete sign of Conservative neglect of communities across the country.

Conservative Ministers haven't grasped the tidal wave in children's mental ill health since the pandemic. Pupils are let down as they wait for NHS support to reach their school.
@LibDems would put a qualified mental health practitioner in every school.

I am over the moon to see my Carer’s Leave Bill pass its final hurdle. It will become law and take effect next year, with millions of unpaid carers across the country gaining a new employment right for the first time.
