WATCH: @JoshBabarinde speaks to Iain Dale on LBC about his St George’s Bill.
“Three hours of support per year, per SEND child. It’s farcical.”
The Government must protect SEND children’s rights, tackle local authority misconduct and properly fund support.

As world leaders gather for COP31, Pippa Heylings has written an open letter to Green Party members who want to put climate action and nature protection first.
“If climate and nature are why you got into politics, you have a home with us,” writes @pippaheylings
Did you catch that?
Andy Burnham just ruled out joining the single market which would boost the growth we desperately need.
The Lib Dems are the only party with a plan for growth with Europe at its heart.
🚨Liberal Democrat Education spokesperson @munirawilson is hosting an Ask Me Anything on Reddit at 5pm this Thursday.

This Remembrance Day, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
We must never forget them, nor can we forget the veterans and serving personnel who continue to protect our freedom.
Planning to slash the capital budget for the maintenance of the prison estate whilst promising thousands more cells is either dishonest or delusional.
The Government must get a grip on this issue or victims will be put through the wringer once more.
The Government's own figures show our prisons are running on fumes, with barely a thousand spare places and no margin for error.
Victims and their families have already been put through months of chaos and uncertainty by this Government's early release schemes. They deserve to know that the sentence handed down in court is the sentence that will be served.
The Justice Secretary must look victims in the eye and rule out another early release scheme.
WATCH: @JoshBabarinde gives his St. George’s Bill to Parliament
“There are too many people who are not working who should be supported into work.”
The Conservatives’ Brexit deal has held back jobs and growth.
@LisaSmartMP calls for more support to get people into work and closer ties with Europe.
New data shows the prison system is still on the brink, with just 1% spare capacity projected.
Early release hasn’t solved the crisis. It’s merely delayed it.
@JessBrownFuller
Labour should take our plan to tackle the water system crisis now.
This is an issue which can not be delayed any longer.
@TimFarron
Andy Burnham must publish a plan to fix Britain’s broken water sector by the end of the year.
Or the Prime Minister must come to the dispatch box in Parliament and explain why his Government has achieved so little to tackle the crisis.

Our water can't wait.
The Liberal Democrats have given the Government until 31st December to publish a plan to fix Britain's broken water system.
No more delays. It's time to end the sewage scandal and protect bill payers.
Wishing a peaceful and very happy Diwali to all those who are celebrating across the United Kingdom and across the world!
This Remembrance Day, we honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice, remember those we have lost and recognise those still serving.
We owe it to them, our veterans and their families to ensure their sacrifices are never forgotten.
Last week's budget is a byproduct of Trump's America.
It is the British people who are going to suffer the consequences of his actions.
British businesses have paid £7.7bn in import and export declaration costs over the past four years.
With rising costs and mounting pressures on businesses, we need to be far bolder on economic growth. The Government’s EU reset is welcome, but it must go much further.
