The Animal Welfare Bill by @DannyChambers.bsky.social has become law. 



This is a turning point for animal welfare in the UK - eradicating cruel practices, stopping pet mutilation and cracking down on the scourge of illegal puppy smuggling.

Great to join @carersuk @carerstrust and @centreforcare at each of their events at @LiberalDemocrat Party Conference in Bournemouth.

Carers provide a remarkable and often unsung service to our nation.

They and those they care for deserve a better and fairer system, let's make it happen.

Nutritionise. Wisdom to start any day with.

Caring shaped my life. It should shape our politics too.

Daisy Cooper argued that “Not a single carer should lose a penny” while #CarersAllowance is fixed. We agree. #Carers are being punished by a broken system, forced to repay thousands for tiny errors. Sue Yeandle OBE calls it what it is: a national scandal:

At #PMQs yesterday @libdemdaisy.bsky.social was right to highlight the serious impact that the UK gov's proposed #welfarereforms could have on #carers.
As @charliegrosset.bsky.social sets out, these changes risk pushing more carers into poverty and crisis: centreforcare.ac.uk/commentary/2... 1/2

The NHS is in crisis. We support extra investment to help turn it around, but without fixing social care, no amount of funding will solve the problem.

I urge the Prime Minister to ensure the Spending Review finally delivers for social care and family carers.

Great to meet you there Ed, thanks for playing our board game! @centreforcare.bsky.social

We're delighted to see Patrick Butler and @joshhalliday.bsky.social‬ honoured and recognised for the contribution these @theguardian.com journalists made to uncovering and sharing the Carer's Allowance scandal.
