Blatant hypocrisy from the Tory leadership candidates. Of course the Winter Fuel Payment shouldn’t be scrapped for those who need it - but it was the Conservative Government that pushed millions of households into fuel poverty.

Every one of these stories is heartbreaking. Most unpaid carers are women, often living in poverty. Instead of being recognized for their vital contributions, they face prosecution. The current Carer’s Allowance system is broken—reform is long overdue. theguardian.com/society/articl…

Completely agree with Feargal Sharkey - we need urgent action to tackle the issues in the water industry, and price increases for consumers must be suspended. The polluters should pay.

Lovely cuddle with this good boy at Blue Cross UK rehoming centre in West End. Sadly Spud was forced to race 100 times before being rescued. The abolition of greyhound racing is long overdue - which is why I’m supporting the #DontRaceEmbrace campaign.

"The former Conservative government has wrecked our relationship with our European allies, and in the years since Brexit was formalised British people have seen the damage it has created, from the economy and innovation to travel." - @laylamoran

We're thrilled to have you on board Liz Jarvis! Thank you for visiting to see first hand how a life of racing takes it toll on dogs like Spud. 💔 For anyone that hasn't yet signed our petition, please join the 100,000+ voices that already have ✍bit.ly/4bspygT

The Energy price cap increase will hit those already struggling hard, including families and pensioners. The Government MUST rethink Winter Fuel Payments and provide more support for those who need it. bbc.com/news/articles/…

The Lib Dems have long called on the Government to take action to end fuel poverty. I spoke on Any Questions? about the new Government's decision to scrap the winter fuel allowance and the impact this will have.

People don’t want to hear that life will get worse before it improves. There are changes the Government could make which would make a real difference to the lives of millions right now - scrap the two-child benefit cap, reinstate the winter fuel allowance for those who need it.

"The government has not put forward anything to help." Liberal Democrat MPs will attempt to trigger a vote in Parliament to reverse Labour's decision to scrap winter fuel payments for around 10m pensioners, their leader Ed Davey tells #R4Today

I’m backing the Liberal Democrats motion to protect 16,766 pensioners in Eastleigh from the Winter Fuel Payment cut. Pensioners in Eastleigh have been contacting me daily about the risk of losing their Winter Fuel allowance. They shouldn’t have to choose between heating and eating.

Surge pricing for tickets is just pure greed. Shame on the promoters and Ticketmaster for letting this situation happen. It’s not as if they didn’t know the gigs would be popular before they were even put on sale. In-demand pricing should be banned. bbc.com/news/articles/…

The announcement that govt will suspend 30 arms export licenses to the IDF is welcome. This action should have been taken long ago. But questions remain over the licences which haven't been suspended, and why the decision was made solely on risk of use in Gaza, not the West Bank

The Government's new plans to tackle sewage dumping will not be enough to stop this scandal- we need a complete reform of this broken industry. We need a tough new regulator and to reform water companies into public benefit corporations where the environment is put before profit

It was a pleasure to pop into local community pub the Master Builder in West End here in Eastleigh this lunchtime and meet with landlady Lorraine. My Liberal Democrats colleagues and I will continue to fight for more support from the Government for our vital hospitality sector

House of Lords scrutiny committee warns decision to scrap winter fuel payments is rushed and could cause potential inequalities between low income pensioners. The Government must U-turn on this disastrous policy. theguardian.com/politics/artic…

Water should never have been privatised.

Love a duck race! Great atmosphere at the Bishopstoke carnival, the chance to learn CPR with volunteers from South Central Ambulance Service and delighted to announce the winners of the fancy dress competition with Elsa! Lots of brilliant stalls and fun!
