For years, our rivers, lakes and seas have been pumped full of filthy sewage while executives pocket billions. It’s time to take profit out of water, end failed privatisation and put communities and our environment first.

Primary care is the front door to the NHS, delivering 90% of all public interactions with our health service. Liberal Democrats believe in a patient-centred, preventive primary care system that sits at the heart of a transformed NHS.

Liberal Democrat members passed a new policy on supporting people to age well and maintain their independence. The Liberal Democrats are taking a stand to fix social care, protect our NHS, and ensure everyone can age well in their own home and community.

Fixing our relationship with Europe is the only way to get our economy back on track. We are fighting to do just that. To put Britain back where it belongs. Back at the heart of Europe.

Liberal Democrats took more than 3 million people out of paying income tax with the personal allowance. 

So we will raise the tax-free personal allowance to £15,000. Taking 2 million more people out of paying tax altogether, and giving most taxpayers a £680 tax cut.

Raising the tax-free personal allowance. Trusting people to spend their own money, not telling them the state knows best. Real money, £680 a year, back in people’s pockets.

"Public ownership would make it much easier to manage water collectively, as a social good rather than a commodity." @mp4stratford.bsky.social is absolutely right. Andy Burnham, it is time to act. Voters, no matter who they vote for, support public ownership of water

I am appalled and disgusted at the comments made by the Leader of Restore Britain about Stratford-upon-Avon and one of its schools. We should be celebrating that children are going to great schools in my constituency and go on to contribute great deals to our society in a positive way.

There were three senior Reform men involved in those conversations. Two of them have been kicked out, the third is Nigel Farage. Reform have clearly accepted what happened here was wrong. So surely the buck stops with Farage?

No party should have a majority in Parliament with less than 30% of the vote - especially not extremists like Reform UK. But under our current political system - that is entirely possible. We have to fix the system before the next election - before its too late.

Guardian editorial backs Daisy Cooper's speech setting out our bold plan to break up the Treasury to boost growth 📈
The prime minister’s claim to responsible management is undone by his own incompetence. Public trust ebbs away – a worry when voters start shopping around and Reform UK is selling racism. Stagnation exposes governments that lack an economic model. That is why interventions this week by Andy Burnham, the Greater Manchester mayor, and Daisy Cooper, the Lib Dem Treasury spokesperson, matter. Both accept that cost of living pressure is becoming politically dangerous and that the status quo isn’t working.

The Lib Dems want to shake up Whitehall. They are calling for a break up of the Treasury and its replacement with a new department of growth based in Birmingham. The most radical idea is that the growth department would set fiscal policies. That might be a very good idea if it opened up the space for productive cash injections with an acknowledgment that fiscal deficits are required to rebuild the social democratic space.
