Even after today's announcement, high street hospitality businesses will still be in serious trouble.
The PM should take up our plan to Save our High Streets, with a proper overhaul of business rates, a crack down on ‘ghost landlords’ and rejuvenating town centres.
If Andy Burnham is serious about changing the way we do politics, he would start by fixing our broken voting system.
Then we can get on with fixing everything else.
The cost of living is forcing people to make difficult choices.
One resident told us they've kept their heating at just 17°C all winter.
People deserve better than this.
Jake Austin, Lib Dem candiate for Makerfield by-election
I'm running in the Makerfield by-election because local people deserve better.
While others focus on division and political games, I'm focused on the issues that matter: saving the NHS, tackling the cost of living and restoring proper community policing.
@jakelibdem
Hindley is where I grew up, where my family put down roots, and where I learned the value of community.
That's why I'm standing in the Makerfield by-election: to protect our green spaces and make sure every child gets the opportunities they deserve.
@jakelibdem
Residents across Makerfield tell me the same thing: the cost of living is hitting hard.
We have a plan to cut fuel duty, lower public transport fares and break the link between gas and electricity prices to bring down bills.
@jakelibdem, Lib Dem Candidate for Makerfield
Gas and electricity prices keep rising, and households are paying the price.
That's because electricity prices are still tied to the cost of gas. Even as we invest in cheaper renewable energy, bills remain higher.
@jakelibdem, Lib Dem candidate for Makerfield by election.
Everyone deserves to feel safe. Years of cuts to local policing have left communities paying the price.
The Liberal Democrats will restore real community policing in Makerfield and across the country.
@jakelibdem Liberal Democrat candidate for Makerfield by-election.
No one should have to choose between heating and eating.
Liberal Democrats have an ambitious plan to cut the cost of energy bills and bring down the cost of living.

Jake Austin is the Liberal Democrat candidate in the Makerfield by-election. Born and raised in Hindley, Jake will champion the issues that matter most to people: cutting the cost of living, protecting our natural environment and supporting our local high streets and businesses.
Liberal Democrats are clear: new housing must go hand in hand with new GPs. We will ensure that no community is left overwhelmed.

If Keir Starmer lied about Peter Mandelson’s vetting, he has to go.
Labour promised to clean up our politics. Now they're just as bad as the Conservatives.
Liberal Democrats get things done. We don’t do division. We do potholes and police officers, church roofs and clean rivers.
We focus on the local issues that matter to you.
Vote Liberal Democrat on 7th May.
Badenoch and Farage cheered on Trump's war that has send fuel costs soaring. Now they are trying to backpedal with weak plans that give no help today.
Our plans would bring down prices at the pump by 12p per litre.
The Government has agreed to LibDems’ Sunshine Bill into their Future Homes Standard. All new homes built from 2028 will come with solar panels. This will reduce bills for owners, reduce pressure on the energy grid and help fight climate change.
It’s a Lib Dem win-win-win.
Water firms are dumping sewage with impunity while the Government fails to act.
It’s time to end the Wild West water industry with a new regulator, full sewage reporting and a system that serves the public, not profit.
