I’ve stepped down from the @LibDemPeers Health frontbench to focus on a national scandal: the 20-year life expectancy gap for those with learning disabilities.
The time for talk is over. My focus now is driving the legislative changes needed to fix this.
Ed stands up for Britain at its best, a country where people look out for each other, where public services work, and where politics is about fixing problems - not stoking division.
Vote Liberal Democrat tomorrow to elect a local champion who will do the same.
Government has adopted Lib Dem proposals for all new homes built from 2028 to come with solar panels.
This will reduce bills for owners of newbuild homes, reduce pressure on the energy grid, and help fight climate change.
Huge credit to @mpmwilko for his excellent work on this!

Rejoining Erasmus must be the first step on a clear roadmap to a closer relationship with Europe.
We need to see the Government negotiate a bespoke UK-EU customs union, and commit to a youth mobility scheme for benefit of the next generation.
Rejoining Erasmus is a real opportunity to start repairing the disastrous Conservative Brexit deal. We are pleased the government has finally listened to us on that.
However it must be a first step on a clear roadmap to a closer relationship with Europe. Starting with negotiating a bespoke UK-EU customs union, and committing to a youth mobility scheme for benefit of the next generation.
Just imagine how we would feel if in 4 years time if Nigel Farage became Prime Minister
He's told us what he will do: the biggest attack on immigrants this country has ever seen
We cannot let that happen. Help us stop Reform - join the Lib Dems at https://t.co/mOuyD3jRe2
It’s time to admit what a disaster Brexit has been.
Liberal Democrats have a plan to fix our trade with Europe to turbocharge the economy, fix the cost of living crisis and properly fund our public services.
🚨Lib Dem Lords delivering again! The Government will take forward @CarolinePidgeon's plans to make it easier and cheaper for people without driveways to charge their EVs. 🚨
Fairer access, cleaner transport — Lib Dems getting things done. 💪🌍

Empty ministerial rhetoric on health is contributing to the killing of our loved ones. The 22-year life expectancy gap for people with Learning Disabilities is a direct result of a lack of statutory, accountable action. Stop the talk, start the change #LearningDisabledLivesMatter
🚨Following efforts from the Liberal Democrats, the Renters Rights Bill will be changed so that military family homes will, for the first time, be subject to decent homes legislation — ensuring safe, secure and dignified housing for those who serve. 🚨
