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 Israelโ€™s aid blockade. Words alone wonโ€™t save lives.

Hmmโ€ฆ. A Daily Mail headline so clearly designed to make you furious.

Being shared by salivating Tory MPs who love a good rage farming story!

Many parents & children are facing heartbreaking mental health challenges. Lib Dems want a dedicated mental health professional in every school, so thereโ€™s always someone to turn to. Yesterday I pushed the Minister to outline what steps the Government is taking to properly support families in need.

The westโ€™s shameful silence on Gaza The US and European allies should do more to restrain Benjamin Netanyahu

"The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity"

A powerful FT leader on the tragic situation in Gaza.

Not one Reform MP showed up to yesterdayโ€™s school funding debate. When itโ€™s time to work, they vanish.

Theyโ€™re running councils nowโ€”the least they can do is engage on issues like schools and SEND.

๐Ÿ‘‡I asked the Minister if she shared my disappointment at their absence.
