Sainsburys and M&S would still make hundreds of millions in profit after applying Labour's change to National Insurance
But instead of absorbing the cost and making a little less profit, they're using this as an excuse to increase prices again
Anyone else uncomfortable with this?
Four fantastic Lib Dem by-election wins last night in Luton, Highland and Perth & Kinross - with a GAIN from the Conservatives in Perth & Kinross. 🗳️
Huge congratulations to the winning Councillors, campaign teams and volunteers who made it happen. 🔶
@StephenWi11iams@LibDems This annoyed me, especially when Jeremy Hunt talked about two party politics and Laura didn’t correct him. Come on BBC reflect actual political picture instead of getting a more left wing member of the same party to debate.
As I stand in lobby of House of Lords (no room inside) I’m pleased reform is included in the #KingsSpeech which means many sitting in that room will lose right to vote. Looking forward to starting work on wide range of policy, some of which (but not all) I wholeheartedly support
Thanks for alerting me to a potential environmental issue in the Stour at Eyebridge, nr Wimborne. I’m writing to relevant agencies tonight & will issue a PR tomorrow to @Dorsetecho@BBCRadioSolent great to meet residents, local paddle-boarder & Angling club for their perspective
As the Vice Chair of the Campaign for Gender Balance the achievements of Lib Dem women stand out, too many to even name check! but Anna & Vikki, who have both served in that role, have helped others & have triumphed themselves. Celebrating each and every woman today 🧡

We are SO PROUD of both Vikki and the whole team for getting Vikki through the line. Thank you to absolutely everyone who volunteered, voted and persuaded friends and family to vote for change.
Thank you 🙏
@VikkiSlade72 The Sun is shining on our beautiful patch of Dorset. Lots of support at Corfe Mullen Village Hall this morning. Patted a dogs, minded a couple of bikes and loved that lots of parents where taking the little ones and first time vote to the polling stations. Love democracy.
It’s #electionday! You need photo ID to #vote - if you haven’t posted your postal vote, bring it into your local polling station. Vikki is the only option for a bright new future for #MDNP, a vote for anyone else is a vote for the tories #voteforvikki#toriesout#libdem
Thank you to everyone who has pledged to lend me their vote from Labour, Greens, Conservatives, Independent & even Reform.
I am truly humbled - hopefully this will reassure you. We need grown up politics if we are going to solve the problems in society …. #VoteVikki@LibDems
So incredibly proud of our @LibDems team - writing & artworking literature, bundling leaflets, creating social media graphics, knocking doors, donating money, delivering leaflets, banging in stake boards & people lending garden space, phoning, making tea, tellers 🙏🏻❤️#VoteVikki
