The PM says he wants a cross-party coalition on Europe. Excellent. We’ve done the work. Single Market. Customs union. Defence cooperation. I set out the roadmap at Lib Dem conference. A little late to the party, Prime Minister, but you’re very welcome. Here’s my speech: youtu.be/__cQ0AAx-P8?...

I had a great time last week at the Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the highlights of the social calendar in Sutton! This festival really demonstrates all that is good about Sutton, and reminds us of the incredible contribution our Hong Konger community has made to the borough.

Student finance is uncomfortable territory for Lib Dem’s, but we can't just bury our heads in the sand. Those of us in positions of responsibility have a duty to fix what's broken, even when it's uncomfortable. My piece for Lib Dem Voice👇 www.libdemvoice.org/winning-back...

Andy Burnham has announced his plans to fix social care, which will need to be voted on at the next election. Families struggling with a broken social care system cannot afford to wait until then, and social care reform cannot be funded from the pockets of our poorest pensioners.

We need real action from the Prime Minister on Europe, not more hesitation. The Liberal Democrats have a plan to strengthen our economy, cut living costs, and boost defence by rejoining the Single Market, Customs Union, and working with European partners on security. These issues cannot wait.

I really hope the PM is serious about fixing care, and he can show it by getting on with the cross-party talks we started in July. This can’t just be a series of No10 headlines with no real action. I’ll do everything I can to put family carers at the heart of any solution.
