The Courts and Tribunals Bill returns to the Commons tomorrow and although the government has made changes, the bill is still flawed.
I’ve written to all MPs, cross-party, asking for their support for my amendment which seeks to address the disparity in income threshold to qualify for legal aid in the magistrates compared to the crown.
I welcome the Prime Minister’s admission that the Brexit deal is a disaster for our economy, but the real test is: will he drop Labour's red lines that stop us fixing it? Today he says no – so we have more work to do!
Welcome to Mark Pack’s vlog, sponsored by nobody.
The Lib Dems have tabled an amendment to ban politicians being paid by social media firms for their posts, because the angrier the post, the bigger the payout. Politicians shouldn’t be paid to stir up anger.

We need to support our maternity services and prevent the systematic failures that have harmed this country from happening again.
Listen to Helen Morgan and Ian Roome speak about the maternity crisis and the work they are doing to highlight the issue.
Just search 'Conference Conversations' on Spotify and Apple Podcasts to listen.
“Marginally harder?” Tell that to the tens of thousands of businesses who have been crippled by Brexit red tape, whilst grifter Nigel Farage has pocketed millions as a reward

Three quarters of Brits are worried about maternity care standards.
Every mother deserves safe care. That's why the Liberal Democrats are calling for urgent action to improve maternity services.
Swipe to read our plan.
I am appalled by the latest escalation in hostilities by the Houthis in Saudi Arabia, which risk further destabilising the region.
Ordinary people in Yemen face one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. Over 200,000 people have been displaced in the country since the beginning of August due to escalating violence, leaving many dead, including children. 2.2 million children under five are acutely malnourished.
The Government's recent announcement of £10M for this crisis was welcome, but still leaves the humanitarian response in the country with less than a quarter of the funding needed, meaning humanitarian actors face impossible choices.
There must be an immediate end to hostilities, urgent protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, and unimpeded humanitarian access.
For too long, successive governments have turned a blind eye to the huge damage caused by the Johnson-Farage Brexit deal.
I really hope this marks a real turning point.
Think you'll find the @LibDems demanded you publish the details well before Kemi got there... and it's not a moment too soon. Football fans up and down the country deserve to know that the rules apply to everyone, no matter how rich, powerful, or politically connected they are. #libdemwin
I’m not going to agree with Andy Burnham on everything, but this statement needed to be said by a Prime Minister. After the Conservatives suppressed the truth for years, this took courage.
With one fantastic set of elections behind us we are ready for the next.
Electing Liberal Democrats to where decisions are made simply makes the lives of people better. It just does.
That's why we want more Lib Dem councillors in the heart of local government.
A buoyant atmosphere at our Autumn Conference in Edinburgh!
After our incredible wins across Scotland in May this conference is set to be the perfect springboard for next May's council elections.
Utter disgrace. Trump has profoundly betrayed Ukraine and shown clearly whose side he's on. The reason fuel prices are soaring in the US (and here) is Trump's own decision to attack Iran. We are paying the price for this vain, incompetent President.
1 in 4 mums in England will experience mental ill health during or after their pregnancy.
Ahead of World Mental Health Day I visited Sevenoaks, to hear from women about their own experiences.
Lib Dems won't rest until Britain is the safest place in the world to have a baby.
Tackling crime starts with safer communities.
Taxing tech giants more could raise £1bn to fight online crime, freeing up police to patrol our streets.
That's why the Lib Dems are calling for more youth services to prevent crime before it starts.

Wow. Donald Trump is giving money to Putin’s war machine so he can keep killing innocent Ukrainians and attacking democracies across Europe.
The UK must lead a coalition of the willing that stands up and says no.
The first duty of any government is to defend its people.
The Conservatives decimated our armed forces, and Labour is failing to invest.
That's why we're calling for £20bn in defence bonds to urgently strengthen Britain's defences.
