The world is becoming much more dangerous & we must step up alongside our allies against the bullies

Frankly shocked they aren’t anyway. These are vile crimes & I welcome this announcement having seen cuckooing when out with the Fire Service safe & well team

Great to join Crisis for their Homelessness Summit - we need a joined up approach that puts people at the heart of fixing the crisis & building genuine social homes fit for the future

Huge result for our Lib Dem Lords on day Liberal Democrats MPs joined Social Care workers at their rally Govt must listen & accept this amendments exempting care providers, NHS GP practices, NHS dentists & pharmacists, charitable providers of health & care plus hospice care from the rise

Here’s a look back at just a few of my January activities as Liberal Democrats MDNPLibDems MP for Mid Dorset & North Poole. My main channel for updates on my work is bluesky now so please come over & join me there vikkislademp.bsky.social

Yesterday's Ofgem announcement on the energy price cap was shocking and puts further pressure on our Pensioners who have already been hit by the withdrawal of the Winter Fuel Allowance. I challenged the Minister on this in Parliament. vikkislade.uk/post/lib-dem-s…

Social Care providers should not have to protest. The Labour government has done nothing to repair the damage done by the Conservatives and have only kicked the can down the road. Ministers need to accelerate their review and introduce the reforms the Social Care sector needs.

🗣️Great to see insulation and the Warm Homes Plan raised by Vikki Slade MP 🔶💙 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈, Deirdre Costigan MP and Miatta Fahnbulleh. 🏠Want to lower your constituents’ bills? ✍️ Mandate loft insulation protection - by preventing compression, households can save up to £380 annually!

Here's a snapshot of some of my activities last week during Parliamentary recess.

Appalled to see this - clear bullying behaviour & we must stand up for what is right. Ukraine should not need to beg Trump. His nation is the victim here. We must continue to stand with our European allies #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

Pleased to get a commitment for action. Huge delays, costs & worries for those with permanent disabilities on renewing these awards, and unnecessary cost for councils too

A round up of some of my activities in Parliament and across my constituency of Mid Dorset & North Poole.

The application for Pension Credit is too complicated and results in a lower take up of this key benefit. I asked the Minister what they were doing to simplify the process. vikkislade.uk/post/vikki-ask…

I was really pleased that the Minister agreed to look into this case where the income of an abusive partner was not validated and resulted in arrears having to be repaid at just £1 a month. vikkislade.uk/post/vikki-cha…

Great to join colleagues from around the country to look at the issues facing councils from reorganisation & to share my experiences from Poole & BCP councils

Some of my activities from last week.

We may be inconvenience for the media, but we are making a difference Liberal Democrats are leading the debate in so many areas and it’s simply not acceptable for us to be written out of the story

Awful. I am sure there are many of us MPs who have called out regimes - perhaps we can all expect to have our travel options restricted

Not much time to respond now but if you have a nature project this is worth a look ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Some concerning examples of the impact of the ruling which we must challenge. Frustrating that the MH Bill clashes with the petition debate on Transgender self ID on Monday …. Will try to get to both if parliamentary business allows
