I had a fantastic time at the Kingston Fire Station, speaking to our amazing Fire Cadets and Firefighters, and getting to go up the tallest turntable ladder in Europe! Thank you to all firefighters and fire cadets who are doing amazing work to keep us all safe.

People across the UK and the world will be fearing the break-out of widespread regional conflict in the Middle East, following Israel’s strikes overnight. The UK must work with allies to contain Iran’s nuclear ambitions through diplomacy, not war.

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.

Here's the problem with Donald Trump. We have no idea whether his 'America First' review of AUKUS will result in the collapse of the alliance, or if we'll simply end up having to pretend it's now called USAUK.

The NHS is in crisis. We support extra investment to help turn it around, but without fixing social care, no amount of funding will solve the problem. I urge the Prime Minister to ensure the Spending Review finally delivers for social care and family carers.

Farage pretends to support Welsh steel. Meanwhile, his mate Trump is hitting the UK with brutal tariffs that target our steel industry. Nigel backs Trump all the way, then claims to stand with the workers paying the price. 🤦‍♂️

This Carers Week, I’m proud to stand with Carers UK and others in one clear call: greater equality and recognition for family carers. Let’s stand together and show we care.

Trump spent 75 minutes on the phone with Putin. He praised him, talked about teaming up on Iran, but apparently never called on him to stop targeting innocent civilians. What a disgraceful way to treat our allies and the brave people of Ukraine.

The PM told me today that he would do everything he can to get desperately needed aid into Gaza, but words are not enough and I will hold him to account until we see action.

We’ve gone from 25% steel tariffs, to 0%, up to 50%, and now back to 25%. We’ve all seen this routine before. Trump causes chaos, Nigel nods along, and British workers pay the price. It’s time the government got serious about trade with our European and Commonwealth allies.

Ten years on, we still feel the loss of Charles Kennedy. Charles was principled, kind and possessed an unmatched talent for connecting with people - he was a great friend and an outstanding leader. I know he would have been so proud to see his old seat back in Lib Dem hands.

Ginny cares for her husband Tim, who has myotonic dystrophy. She works part-time, on top of caring for him every day. Now, under the Government’s PIP changes, they face losing £12,000 a year. Today I asked the Prime Minister: what does he expect carers like Ginny to do?

Surely even Donald Trump now has to admit that Putin isn’t serious about peace. We have to force Putin to come to the table, by seizing frozen Russian assets to help defend Ukraine.

The Prime Minister says he wants to go further and faster on social care, but he's moving slower and slower. Three years just to write a report, seven extra years to implement it. Waiting until 2036 to fix social care simply isn't good enough.

First Trump hit our steel and car sectors with tariffs, now he wants to hit our world leading British film industry. What will it take for the UK government to work with our allies in Europe and Canada on a joint response?
