Messy child's school desk with a spiral notebook in the centre that reads: Our five principles for Send reform

After years of neglect, the SEND system is broken and families have paid the price.

SEND children and their loved ones deserve clarity, better support and a plan that puts children first. 👇

It's unacceptable that Gazans are having to choose between starving or risking their lives going to aid posts where they could be fired upon.

Netanyahu must fully reopen the supply routes for food and aid, and our Government must be far tougher in demanding it.

One year ago, Liberal Democrats won 72 seats, our best result in 100 years.

Every day, we're pushing the Government to go further and faster in fixing the NHS and social care, and demanding a bolder plan to boost the economy.

97 years since women gained equal voting rights, I’m proud to be the 645th woman #MP.

We’ve made progress, but men still outnumber women in #Parliament. True equality means working side by side to tackle challenges in equal numbers.

Grateful to represent #Chelmsford on this journey.

What a month 🎉

Over 80 meetings and visits, an overflowing inbox and countless moments in between. See a recap below.

Quote from the BBC breaking live page on today's weather: We've just received the latest highest temperatures recorded in the UK - and there's a chance they could rise even further. The heat is most intense in the south-east of England as Writtle in Essex has recorded a 33.9C (93F) high, surpassing the previous high recorded today in Frittenden, Kent, at 33.6C. Meanwhile, the thermometer in East Malling, Kent, hit 33.8C. It's a little cooler, but only just, in central London, where a temperature of 33.6C has been recorded in St James's Park.

Stay safe out there - Writtle has just recorded the highest temperature of the year so far! 🌡

Be sure to drink plenty of water, wear loose-fitting clothing and stay in the shade.

Just few things I’ve been up to last week ✅

A graphic of a male bakery shop worker - giving an order to a father and a child whilst smiling. The graphic reads: A new, UK-EU customs union to turbocharge and Trump-Proof our economy.

It's time to work with our biggest and closest neighbour with a bespoke UK-EU customs union, to turbocharge our economy, bring in billions to rebuild our public services and protect household budgets.

We have new opinion polling on House of Lords reform!

There is overwhelming public support to go beyond the government's current plans to remove hereditary peers (due to be debated in the Lords on Wednesday), including to limit prime ministerial appointments and cap the chamber's size.

We had a lovely time at #EssexPride yesterday in the warm weather!

Time for a weekly update ✅

Ed and Emily's story isn't unique. It's the story of millions, caring for each other, dealing with tough times, and keeping going with love.

The Liberal Democrats will be the voice of carers every day, fighting their corner in Parliament.

Daisy Cooper Quote which reads: People have been left desperately disappointed in the Government’s failure to break clean from years of Conservative neglect and finally start delivering the change that people were promised. Today’s spending review must deliver progress on social care. Without solving the social care challenge, putting money into the NHS today will be like pouring water into a leaky bucket.

Without fixing social care, putting money into the NHS today will be like pouring water into a leaky bucket.

Hundreds of babies are dying each year due to delays in improving #NHS maternity care. The government has failed to implement urgent actions from the #Ockenden review and has scrapped £100m ringfenced for vital improvements. This is a national crisis. Families deserve better. #MaternityCare
