Every moustache grown and every mile moved shows the need for urgent action on men's health, from mental health to prostrate cancer.

BREAKING - Liberal Democrats have overtaken Reform to become the largest group on Cornwall Council.

We are the only party that can stand up and win against Nigel Farage, Reform and their divisive, populist politics.

Brexit had blown a black hole in the public finances that the Conservatives and Reform won’t apologise for.

Will the Prime Minister fix it, or just keep complaining?

Liberal Democrat MPs just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.

Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into Trump's America. We won't let him.

TEXT: Dick was a passionate, principled and thoughtful colleague who will be sorely missed by all of us in the Liberal Democrat family.

A founding member of our party, Dick was a passionate European who inspired us all with his sharp intelligence and incredible experience in government, politics and beyond over many decades.

His long and exceptional record of public service is an inspiration to us all, a reminder of what politics can be at its best.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and all those who loved him.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Lord Dick Taverne. He will be greatly missed by all of us, and his colleagues in the House of Lords.

His life and long record of public service stand as an inspiration and a reminder of politics at its best.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Chris Philp failed FIVE times to call out Reform MP Sarah Pochin’s blatantly racist comments.

The Conservatives are too scared of Reform to call out this racism for what it is.

Liberal Democrats will always call out racism and stand up for a decent, tolerant Britain.

Nigel Farage keeps insisting that racism has no place in his party. 

Now is his chance to prove it - he must withdraw the whip or concede that Reform tolerates blatant racism.

Nigel Farage insists racism has no place in his party. But Sarah Pochin’s racist comments tell a different story.

He must withdraw the whip or admit that Reform tolerates blatant racism.

Stratford MP Manuela Perteghella gives her support to Hugh’s Law The Stratford MP has written to the secretary of state for business and trade, Peter Kyle, urging the government to take decisive action in support of Hugh’s Law.

I am proud to support Hugh's Law which seeks changes to legislation to provide parents of seriously and terminally ill children with support from day one.

If Sarah Pochin doesn’t lose the whip we can only assume her disgraceful racist comments are endorsed by her party. And if diversity on TV is really driving her β€œmad”, maybe she could try educating herself on why it matters - and why her language was completely inappropriate for an MP.

Last week I asked the Minister about how the government intends to tackle the fleecehold crisis, including uncapped service charges and lack of maintenance. I also asked that forthcoming reforms must be retrospective.πŸ‘‡

Manuela holding a sign saying everyone deserves the best cancer care.

πŸ’šThis week I attended Macmillan Coffee Morning in Parliament and spoke to nurses and healthcare professionals supporting people living with and affected by cancer.
I could hear how parliamentarians can champion the 3.5 million people living with cancer in the UK.

🩷Proud to be 1 of the 428 MPs who support the Lobular Moon Shot Project, a campaign to resolve the inequalities of lobular breast cancer which 1000 people a day in the world are diagnosed with.
This is vital so that we can get closer to a specific treatment for the disease.

β€œTwo years ago, we watched in horror those appalling scenes of Hamas’s evil terrorist attack on Israel. 1,200 innocent people brutally slain, including hundreds of young people at a music festival. Others raped, sexually assaulted and mutilated. 251 people taken hostage, ripped away from their families.
β€œThose terror attacks also triggered a shocking rise in antisemitism here in the UK – a terrible scourge that took the lives of Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz at their synagogue last week.
β€œWe stand in solidarity with British Jews, the people of Israel and Jewish communities around the world against terrorism and against antisemitism in all its forms.
β€œThis cycle of violence has gone on for far too long, caused far too much suffering and claimed far too many innocent lives.
β€œWith new peace talks under way, we desperately hope that they will finally see the hostages returned home to their families, a lasting bilateral ceasefire, Hamas out of power in Gaza for good." Ed Davey

I am shocked and saddened by the horrific terror attack outside the Synagogue in north Manchester on Yom Kippur.
My thoughts are with the victims, their families and the whole Jewish community, here in our constituency and beyond.

No to Digital ID Cards! Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID. That’s not the kind of country we want to be. Back our petition to say no to digital ID cards.

🚫*NO TO DIGITAL ID CHAOS*🚫

⛔️This will be especially worrying to millions of older people, people living in poverty and disabled people – who are more likely to be digitally excluded.

‼️Back our petition to oppose Labour's plans

Keir Starmer wants to force everyone to have a digital ID.

But the Liberal Democrats say that’s not the kind of country we should be. Instead, the government should focus on fixing real problems like the NHS and social care.

The Education Committee has published a new report on solving the SEND crisis. MPs call for a cultural shift across the education and health systems to ensure children and young people with SEND are supported in genuinely inclusive mainstream settings. Committee Chair Helen Hayes MP said:β€¨β€œThe SEND system is broken, long past needing repair, and chronically letting down children, their families and their teachers.” SEND must be embedded in every aspect of education, with early identification of needs, a trained workforce, and clear national standards. Read the full report. Link in bio πŸ”— #SEND #InclusiveEducation #MainstreamEducation #ChildrenAndFamilies #UKPolitics #SelectCommittee

The Education Select Committee #SolvingtheSENDcrisis report has been published. This is a blueprint for change, for government to deliver a SEND system which puts children, young people and their families at its heart.

Ed Davey shaking hands with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Today I met with President Abbas.

We discussed the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the need to end the appalling suffering of Palestinians, secure the release of the hostages still held in brutal captivity by the Hamas terrorists, and how we ensure a two-state solution.
