Farmers have been left high and dry by the SFI shambles - a policy appallingly designed by the Conservatives and woefully implemented by Labour. Today, @LibDems led a debate in Parliament calling for proper support for farmers to protect our environment AND produce food.

Tonight, Conservative MPs failed to back British farmers in Parliament. The Liberal Democrats will keep fighting for farmers and pushing for the support our rural communities deserve.

Rejoining the EU single market and customs union would boost growth, raise revenues and allow tax cuts for everyone. The PM admits Brexit has damaged our economy—so what is he waiting for?

Matilda Davies devoted her life to caring for her disabled child, yet received little support herself. Tragically, she died by suicide at just 36. No parent carer should be left to struggle alone. Will the PM act to ensure families get the support they deserve?

Donald Trump and Elon Musk undermined Ukraine's defences – directly aiding Putin's war machine. That's beyond the pale. The Prime Minister must stand up to Trump and forge a united front in Europe. We cannot allow Musk and Starlink to gain even more power over our continent.

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey asks if the PM is waiting “until after the next election before considering the single market” Andy Burnham replies that a UK-EU summit happening next month will work towards a “good deal” for farmers and food producers #PMQs bbc.in/4zKxmY6

Ed Davey asks if the PM is concerned by the removal of Starlink internet access in Ukraine, “seriously” undermining its defence system Andy Burnham says the situation is "fragile" and the UK government is working to support Ukraine #PMQs bbc.in/4zKxmY6

🧵 Trump’s war - which was cheered on by the Conservatives and Reform - continues to drive up everyday costs, leaving households having to tighten their belts once again. At next week's Budget the Labour government must make good on their promise to give people breathing space.

We should be broadening young people’s opportunities, not narrowing them at 14. No young person’s ambition should be limited by their background. We need a mix of academic and vocational learning, flexible work experience and mentoring to help every young person thrive. @MuniraWilson

1/2 - I want to thank Jane for everything she has done as Leader of our party. She has led us through some incredibly difficult years with determination and resilience, helping to rebuild our party both at Westminster and locally.

So BBC Three, Scotland and R4 Extra are going. We are watching the death by a thousand cuts of a great British institution. From major sporting events, to national celebrations, the BBC has a unique ability to bring the country together. But, successive Governments have left our BBC in a state of managed decline. @LibDems are calling for a permanent charter to end this cyclical uncertainty hanging over the BBC’s future and protect it for generations to come. Once the BBC is gone, it is gone for good. It's time we made the choice to save it.

I'm so grateful to Jane for her 9 years' service as Leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats. She secured big wins on social care, childcare, bus services and protecting rivers. I know she'll continue to be a tireless champion for Liberalism and the people of Wales. Diolch Jane!

The neglect of care homes during Covid was devastating. Warnings about testing and PPE were ignored, putting vulnerable residents and staff at risk. At the very least, an apology is owed to those impacted.

Veterans deserve stronger protections. Investigations should only be reopened with material new evidence and historic incidents shouldn't be judged by laws that didn't exist at the time. The Government must get this right.

Cutting £2bn from Army equipment at a time like this is madness. We've put forward a plan to raise £20bn through Defence Bonds to help Britain rearm. The Government needs to find the money to rebuild our Armed Forces, not cut the equipment they rely on.
Labour has cut £2bn from front-line Army equipment as John Healey tries to fill a defence spending black hole in his first Budget. The Ministry of Defence has dropped plans to develop three new battlefield vehicles, including one that would have been capable of recovering Britain’s Boxer armoured vehicles if they were damaged in combat. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

Looks like a fascinating title. Unlike Liz, I’m not one for rash financial decisions, so I’ll wait until it’s in the local Oxfam to buy a copy - probably well within 49 days… And then I’ll give it to @griffitha, who we know is a big fan.

🧵 Our @LibDems plans would put £350 back in your pocket. The government should deliver a breathing space Budget next week, to slash your energy bills, petrol and public transport prices, and costs for struggling high street hospitality businesses over the next year and a half.
