Too often people return to the doctors only to find themselves repeating your medical history to a new person.

That's why Liberal Democrats would give over 70s and those with a long-term health condition access to a named GP. Improving health and saving the NHS money.

Our statement on Humza Yousaf's resignation as First Minister.

For 17 years, the SNP have been ignoring the people who do most of the heavy lifting.

Scotland needs a new government- one that won’t make empty promises but will get the basics right.

As Kath Pinnock 🔶💙 has consistently said, it is the leaseholders affected by the building safety crisis who are paying for a situation they did nothing to cause.

Excellent reporting from Martina Lees to highlight yet another aspect of this shocking scandal ⬇️

The Government should value and support unpaid carers, not persecute them and threaten them with prosecution.

Unpaid carers do a remarkable and important job.

The Government should value and support our wonderful carers, not persecute them and threaten them with prosecution.

'They're working not just one job, sometimes two or three... And those who can't work, desperately want to work'

The £241 million spent on the Rwanda policy could have funded 5.7 million GP appointments instead.

This has been an extraordinarily expensive, immoral and totally failed policy by press release and Rishi Sunak needs to abandon it.

“There are millions of people who can’t work, they are desperate to work, but they are stuck on NHS waiting lists.”

@Munirawilson on the need to tackle waiting lists, rather than demonise those people who need to take sick leave.

Our response to the collapse of the Bute House Agreement.

Two clowns have left the clown car, but the circus continues.

We don’t just need an end to the Bute House Agreement, we need an end to this entire government.

Utterly disgraceful ignorance by the minister here in answer to my Lords colleague Lord Purvis’ question on visas for Palestinians fleeing the war.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN General Assembly, and the UN Security Council all consider Israel to be the occupying power of Gaza.

Lord David Cameron just last month characterised Israel as 'an occupying power in Gaza'.

This Lords Tory Minister disagrees.

Well done SalBrinton today for leading for the Lib Dem on this important motion & on the Victims side of the bill. It was not just the Conservatives voting against this important amendment to reduce the cost of court transcripts for victims it was Labour Lords not voting at all.

It cannot be right that victims of rape and serious sexual assault can be charged thousands of pounds to access the transcripts of their abuser's trial.

We call again for the Justice Secretary to listen and act. Sarah Olney, SalBrinton and others will not give up this fight

Very disappointing that 187 Tory peers this afternoon stopped proposals from Sarah Olney and SalBrinton which would have given victims access to transcripts of sentencing remarks and judges' summaries free of charge.

This is an insult to victims.

🏛️ The Lords is today set to vote on SalBrinton's amendment to the Victims’ Bill.

If passed this would enable all victims to request a transcript of sentencing remarks and judges summing up free of charge.
