If the triple lock on pensions will be scrapped. The 1st priority is to fix Pension Credit - the top up for the lowest earning pensioners to give them a basic minimum income. Shamefully many 100,000s of the poorest pensions still miss out on what they're entitled to.

Today I've written to the Prime Minister and Health Secretary about the funding crisis facing hospices and palliative care. Hospices do incredible work, but they are being squeezed and it is patients and families who pay the price.

Rishi Sunak makes some important points in his article for the ST. If only he and the rest of the Conservative government had done more to encourage unity and tolerance in the UK rather than stoking division during their 14 years in power.

A big step forward for disabled young people and their carers today: the House of Lords passed our law to make it easier for them to access their Child Trust Funds. This has been a long battle for me and many parents. I really hope Labour MPs don’t overturn our amendment.

Lee Anderson tells Sky News that Reform’s James Orr and Dan Jukes - Farage’s right hand man - have stepped down after claims of donation rules breaches. Surely Farage’s position is also untenable.

Banning reputable journalists from press conferences indicates you are afraid of awkward questions you don’t want to answer. Press censorship has no place in the UK. If you have nothing to hide, you don’t try and hide. It’s that simple. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

After campaigning and raising the issue in Parliament I’m delighted the Government has finally listened and will scrap time restrictions for disabled bus pass holders next April. This incredibly unfair and discriminatory policy should never have been introduced.

While Farage fights in a bin in Clacton, we are winning across the country, with a GAIN from Reform in Kirklees and Labour in East Devon. In so many parts of the country, only the Liberal Democrats can defeat Reform. Huge congratulations to the teams on their results!

Investigating journalists for simply doing their job is not normal behaviour. It’s dark, and sinister, and strongly suggests there is something to hide.

The social care crisis is a catastrophe for families, for the NHS and for local services. Liberal Democrats stand ready to work across party lines to tackle this existential crisis. For carers and for our country. Nothing matters more.
End the social care catastrophe:

1. Put family carers front and centre with guaranteed rights for every carer

2. Universal safety net, including free personal care

3. Protect people from catastrophic costs
