Trump has shown his disregard for our collective security time and time again. The Prime Minister should propose a new, bilateral UK-Canada defence pact at the G7 this weekend, making us more secure.

Today we remember the 72 lives lost in the Grenfell tragedy. Survivors and families have fought tirelessly for justice, and the wait continues. We must act now - remove dangerous cladding, hold those responsible accountable, and ensure this tragedy never happens again.

Deeply concerned by the escalation of conflict between Israel and Iran. Ministers should urgently confirm that no UK involvement in Israel’s attacks. All efforts should go into reducing violence, protecting civilians and diplomacy to contain Iran’s nuclear ambitions. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c9...

The Spending Review was a missed opportunity to show the scale of ambition that's needed to turn our country around. It’s time for the Government to get serious about growth.

The news emerging from India of the crashing of a London-bound flight in Ahmedabad is devastating. My thoughts are with the passengers, their families and all those affected. I urge the Government to do all it can to support British nationals caught up in this disaster.

This smoke and mirrors spending review was a huge missed opportunity to break with years of Conservative neglect and finally start delivering change. The investment in health announced today will simply go to waste if we don’t address the elephant in the NHS waiting room - the crisis in care.

£25 billion in frozen Russian assets sit idle in the UK — money that could support Ukraine. In the face of Putin’s war machine, “it’s complicated” is not good enough from the Prime Minister.

Without fixing social care, putting money into the NHS today will be like pouring water into a leaky bucket. Today's Spending Review must finally start delivering the change that people were promised.

Too many car thefts go unpunished while criminals walk free and victims are left without justice. The Government must fund neighbourhood policing in this spending review, not slash it.

Welcome this long overdue step. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk first called for it 16 months ago. The Government should make clear that it will sanction other extremists in the Netanyahu Cabinet who continue to advocate the violent annexation of Palestinian territory. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

We are different from Reform. We are community politicians, we get things done in our local areas. We care about the NHS and care, whereas other parties like Reform stay silent.
