It is budget week. We are calling for a budget that cuts the costs of living. The Chancellor must listen to our plans, so households across Britain have the support they need. @libdemdaisy

Mood 😴

Military compensation is treated as income. Civil compensation isn’t. Now, 103 MPs from across different parties are demanding the Treasury changes the law and ends an injustice affecting 4,000 veterans across the UK.

The rise in employers’ National Insurance has hit businesses, jobs and investment hard. A thriving private sector is key to economic growth. We need meaningful business rates reform and further VAT cuts for hospitality to support our struggling high streets.

Reminder of all the Conservative MPs who failed to back British farmers in Parliament last week 🧐

Ten years on, we have the worst of both worlds on immigration and asylum. Without freedom of movement, businesses face red tape while losing skilled workers. Restoring it cuts business costs, creates quality jobs for Young people, and helps us tackle the crisis together.

With the budget next week, the Chancellor needs to give British people the breathing space to tackle the cost of living. People across the country are struggling with everyday expenses, and we need urgent action to slash energy bills, cut travel costs, and introduce a VAT cut to support hospitality and high streets.

ICYMI: Our PMQs this week in Parliament.

RECAP: @MP4Stratford reflects on her experience AT PMQs, putting her constituents' concerns directly to the Prime Minister and pushing for meaningful change.

The Lib Dems have a real plan for young, aspirational students. We will give students career support sessions multiple times per year to help them figure out what they want to do and how they can get there.

Kemi Badenoch wants to take Britain out of the ECHR … but her own MPs don’t even back her 🤷 @mpmwilko

We the Liberal Democrat’s have outlined our plans on how to tackle the threats from Russia. We need to expand UK shipbuilding, with six new Royal Navy frigates and four new British shipyards to face down these threats. @JamesMacCleary

Labour, the Conservatives and Reform decided to not back British Farming last night in Parliament. The Liberal Democrats will keep fighting for farmers and pushing for the support our rural communities deserve.
