Many many congrats to Mark Pack 🔶

Congratulations Shaffaq Mohammed 🔶 looking forward to working with you




Big respect to Olly Grender who called out the government yesterday for increasing taxes on charities whilst letting banks keep the tax cuts they received under the last government. Reversing those cuts could generate billions 👉 positivemoney.org/press-release/… #TaxTheBanks



We are so pleased that our own Mark Pack 🔶 will be formally Introduced into the House of Lords today. Mark will bring a deep knowledge of electoral law and constitutional matters, and will continue his work of making politics more open, understandable and transparent.


🚨BREAKING🚨 A massive win for Lib Dem Lords as the House of Lords votes by 305 to 175 in favour of our amendment to exempt care providers, NHS GP practices, NHS dentists and others from the upcoming rise in NI contributions. The Government should listen and respond accordingly.

📣 On the day that ~3000 carers and care providers marched on Parliament to demand the govt fix the social care crisis, I’m delighted that Lib Dem Lords 🔶pushed again to exempt care providers from the jobs tax - and won. Now we need Labour in the Commons to u-turn and agree.








NEW: RRC research has found 3.8 million renters are struggling to afford essentials. The Renters' Rights Bill is so important but doesn't address affordability. Baroness Olly Grender's amendment would launch a review of rent affordability and solutions. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
