It’s no wonder people feel they are being failed by these companies. We need a radical rethink of how our water industry is run.

Yesterday, I asked the Business Secretary if he would commit to giving parliament the chance to scrutinise and vote on the deal.

Implementing this must be part of the government’s plans – or else I’m worried we’ll end up with massive care worker shortages and no credible plan to fill them.

The Liberal Democrats have long called for a Carer’s Minimum Wage to make it easier to recruit British workers to fill vacancies in the care sector.

If the government is to go ahead with these plans, it must do so in conjunction with a strategy to address the chronic recruitment and retainment challenges the care sector faces.

Not at all. Working as a new MP on the Education Select Committee, doing my best to support teachers and schools in my constituency and elsewhere

It’s time that trend was reversed. If we’re to meet the skills shortages and workforce challenges in this country, then Further Education is an absolutely vital part of that mission.

The most dangerous time is when a victim leaves their relationship. Its vital police understand this, and the dynamics of coercive control and domestic abuse, so they can take action before it is too late.

They want to hear your solutions, including community support groups, improved education and training, or anything else that will help to improve the future of men’s health.

I’m liaising with SWW now about why these bill rises are so extreme. They are very impossible to justify given SWW’s many well-documented systemic failures.

Although money is a big factor in attracting dentists back to the NHS, there are other steps we can take too. We need to look at the system overall to make NHS work more attractive.

Recent changes to the benefit system are estimated to leave half a million people without access to free dental care. Even those who are still eligible for free dental treatment are unable to access it as the dentists just aren’t available.

Leaving the EU was sold to our fishers as a way of taking back control, of regaining total rights over our waters, but the reality has been anything but.

I hope the Government will create a similar policy, as part of a national effort to back British business.

That’s why the Liberal Democrats have launched a Buy Local, Back Britain campaign, urging us all to do our part to support the businesses that make up the backbone of our communities.

The Committee will use our learning from the visit to feed into the SEND enquiry that we are currently running, and it would be great if we could carry through some of the examples we’ve seen into ideas about how we can improve the SEND system here in England.

The focus is on ability, not diagnosis; so, they start from the question, ‘what is this child capable of’ and work from there to develop their strengths. As a result, integration is heavily promoted, so SEND pupils are included wherever possible with mainstream classes.

Listening is at the foundation of this system, and behaviour, fundamentally, is seen as a way of communicating, with teachers and TA’s taught how to recognise and interpret behaviour.

In Canada, they believe in a system where schools and teachers work hand in hand to get the best outcomes for all children – there’s very little of the battling we see here from parents to get provision for their children.
