When adults and children with care needs represent a growing proportion of our population it is nothing short of neglect that the government does not prioritise the care sector as part of their economic growth strategy.

On our way to join the ProvidersUnite Day of Action in London and to call on the Government to support #socialcare My thanks to BBC Breakfast, the Daily Express and the The Yorkshire Post for working with me to highlight the issues today. #ProvidersUnite

Disabled people and those who care for them deserve our support and they deserve clarity from this government. Today, Ed Davey pressed the PM to rule out cuts to disability benefits for those who simply cannot work. Worryingly, he chose not to answer.

An absolute shambles from the Government. Sneaking in cuts to this vital fund over Easter, after promising to extend it, is a new low. A kick in the teeth to adopters and special guardians. We must do better.

"I think if you're just angry all the time, you're not very constructive" "I've set the target of being the best opposition to the Labour government in this Parliament. By the way we conduct ourselves and by the issues we take up." Ed Davey

It’s appalling that the Labour government has kicked into the long grass the rebuilding of Leeds General Infirmary - we won’t get a look in until 2032! Let’s hope the task force gets us a fairer priority on investment
