Free local bus travel is a vital lifeline for many disabled people. After an almost two-year campaign the Government has finally listened to Liberal Democrat calls to stop restrictions to disabled bus passes. Disabilities don’t start at 9.30am. Neither should disabled bus passes.

BBC News headline announces 24-hour free bus travel for disabled people in England; a crowd of cheering Liberal Democrat supporters hold bus-shaped placards and party signs celebrating the policy.

16 EV charging points in 2018. Over 1,300 today. That's what Lib Dem leadership looks like⚡ Councillor Alexander Ehmann, explains how Richmond's lamp posts are quietly powering the switch to electric, LED upgrades, lower costs, and EV charging rolled out across the borough. Back us on 7th May.

Tories & Labour have ‘bottled’ the chance to discuss transport as part of the May local election campaign. It shows disdain to residents & disrespect to @London_Cycling - as the volunteers behind the event. Only the Lib Dems have a plan and confidence to debate it.

The Prime Minister must act with immediate airdrops of much-needed aid into Gaza and get other countries to do the same. It is simply inhumane that Gaza faces starvation due to Israel’s aid blockade. Words alone won’t save lives.

Yesterday I pushed the Minister to outline what steps the Government is taking to properly support families in need.
