At a moment when we desperately need a fragile truce to hold, Trump’s ramblings on Gaza risk having the effect of a bull in a china shop. The UK needs to make clear that these proposals must be rejected, and that we support international law and a two state solution based on 1967 borders.

❗ TODAY ❗ I'm proud to present my 🇪🇺 Youth Mobility Scheme Bill 🇬🇧 – a vital step to give young Brits the chance to live, work, and study across Europe. The botched Brexit deal robbed them of these opportunities. It's time to fix that and reset our relationship with the EU.

I know BBC One’s overnight results programme was bad this election, but I hadn’t realised it was “the first two replies haven’t noticed there are 72 Lib Dem MPs now” bad.

Included in yesterday's Government response to the Culture, Media & Sport Committee: "We recommend that the live music industry introduce a levy on arena and stadium tickets to support grassroots music venues, artists and promoters."
As of today, it is the official policy of the UK Government that every ticket sold at an arena or stadium should contain a financial contribution that supports grassroots music venues, artists, and promoters.

Decency. Compassion. Community. Respect for the rule of law. Values that have always been at the heart of our party. 
Our party celebrates Britain’s diversity as a great strength.
Our party knows that our country thrives when it is open and outward-looking."

The government must address the elephant in the waiting room and act on the social care crisis before it is too late. Exempting care from the national insurance hike is a crucial step to ensuring we get our health service back on its feet.
Image shows a red-coloured elephant in a hospital waiting area. Text above reads "You can't fix the NHS by ignoring the social care crisis". Liberal Democrats logo
