Respite care can be a lifeline for disabled people and their carers, giving them new opportunities and a vital break.
Without proper funding, families will suffer. The government needs to step up and prioritise care and carers in the upcoming budget.
Brilliant to see two of our new MPs getting stuck in straight away.

Really pleased to see the Observer picking up @EdwardJDavey 's comments on the Carer's Allowance repayment scandal. Thousands are being chased for massive repayments for going a few pounds over an arbitrary earning limit.

This #BlackHistoryMonth we celebrate the contributions Black people have made and continue to make to our country.
From the athletes and artists who inspire and delight us, to the scientists and medics who save lives.

Raised concerns about how this algorithm would work in practice, and asked for how it would actually change provision in invidual schools. Didn't get any figures, not even at a locality rather than school level.
