Britain feels broken because it is being held back. People feel powerless, and they can't hold the powerful to account. Liberal Democrats want to change our politics so that, together, we can fix our country.

Important that the police and Electoral Commission take this seriously - especially as the C4 film includes footage of a claim that there's a handful of existing donors hiding who they are by passing money to others to donate in their names instead.

This is quite the story: a donation to the Green Party by its leader Zack Polanski was inadmissible because he was not on the electoral roll and was therefore deemed to be an ’unlawful donor’. www.ft.com/content/34ad... Green Party forced to return Zack Polanski’s unlawful donation

Concerning that the Plaid Cymru Senedd would delay publishing an independent report into the pay of teachers. The only conclusion is there’s something in it they don’t want discussed. This is a slap in the face just weeks after winning an election where they promised to safeguard eduction in Wales…

It couldn't be clearer. Vote Conservative: Get Farage

Quote from the spectator:

Badenoch says the Tories could win and claims there is a ‘high chance’ she will become prime minister. But asked explicitly whether she would be prepared to put Farage into No. 10 if he fell short of a majority, she made it clear the answer is yes: ‘This country cannot have another left-wing government.'

Liberal Democrats will always stand up for carers.

Our plan to back unpaid carers:

1.⁠ ⁠Guaranteed respite breaks for all carers
2.⁠ ⁠⁠A carer support service in every hospital
3.⁠ ⁠⁠Increase carers allowance and support kinship carers
4.⁠ ⁠⁠A Young Carer Pupil Premium to help carers at school
