The Liberal Democrats are calling for a 5% cut in VAT in the Budget to support the UK's ailing hospitality sector and their hard-pressed customers.

"We must avoid the trap of delaying investment in the name of fiscal credibility, only to end up costing the government more through poorer health outcomes, which we know have huge knock-on effects across the economy."

Tomorrow, Bath Philharmonia Young Carers' Choir and I are releasing a Christmas single - “Love is Enough” - in support of @bathphil and @CarersTrust.

Today, I questioned the Prime Minister on the protection of important chalk stream rivers.
While I am pleased that there will be tougher powers more generally, I would like to see a special protection for these unique ecosystems.

A massive thank you to everyone who came out to vote yesterday, and to my team of amazing volunteers who helped over the past 6-8 weeks.
