For too long, vulnerable people have battled with a broken care system. Too many have fallen through the cracks.
Politicians have danced around this for decades – now we need action to fix it. So I hope the PM will get on with the urgent cross-party talks we've pushed for.

🟠EXCL: The Lib Dems have written an open letter to moderate Green Party members encouraging them to join their ranks if they care about the environment.
The letter is a pitch to those who feel nature and climate has slipped down the Green's agenda following the Zionism is racism row, telling them they "have a home" within the Liberal Democrats.
The policy has sparked an internal fallout with some of the Green's longstanding members warning the hard left has gained too much influence within the party and the Greens should return to focusing on its core values of the environment and cost of living.
The Lib Dems are seeking to exploit those divisions as the Cop31 Climate summit gets underway in Antayla.
The letter, by their Energy Security and Net Zero Spokesperson Pippa Heylings MP, says Cop summits "can stir a familiar mix of hope and frustration".
It adds: "On behalf of the Liberal Democrats and as someone who shares that hope, I want to write to you today to say something simple: if nature and climate are why you got into politics, you have a home with us."

NEW: The Lib Dems have written an open letter to Green members who are unhappy with the direction of the party, encouraging them to defect.
The letter is aimed at those members who feel nature and climate change has slipped down their party’s priorities and says “you have a home with us”.

The PM sat down for cancer charities on Gogglebox. On Friday, will he stand up for cancer patients in Parliament?
My Cancer Bill has the backing of 60+ cancer charities and medical bodies. I've written to the Prime Minister urging him to support it too.

Being English is not defined by skin colour.
But the census says the only English ethnicity is "White English". Josh Babarinde has proposed a law to change that.
The colour of someone's skin should never determine whether they belong here or how far they can go.

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 Labour has achieved so little to tackle the crisis.

We called on Keir Starmer to drop these red lines, but he refused. We’ve been calling on Andy Burnham to drop them, but so far he’s refused too. I’m glad others are joining our calls – and I hope the Prime Minister listens ahead of the EU summit next week.
NEW: One of the architects of Keir Stamer’s Brexit red lines has called for Andy Burnham to abandon them at the next election, saying a new relationship with the EU would protect the UK from global threats.
Chris Ward, one of Starmer’s closest confidants in politics and one of the ministers who worked on the EU reset, said the security relationship meant a change was now imperative.
The Labour MP is the latest prominent figure in Starmer’s administration to call for a faster transition to a far closer European relationship, after Rachel Reeves said it was right for the PM to consider rejoining.
In his piece for @guardian, Ward said it was now time to give a “a dignified retirement” to the red lines, which rule out rejoining the EU, the single market, the customs union and restoring freedom of movement. 👇

🏴 You don’t have to be White to be English.
Most of the country agrees.
My cross-party St. George’s Bill reaffirms and reinforces Englishness. It doesn’t redefine it.

It seems like every other day now the security of our air fields is either compromised or under threat.
The Government promised an urgent review of base security months ago. It's frankly staggering that we're still waiting for it.

Today justice was finally served. It is thanks to the women who were brave enough to come forward that a sexual predator and rapist is now behind bars.
But the work isn’t done. Some of the arguments used to undermine these women’s credibility were truly shocking and bordered on victim-blaming. The Government must put a legal duty on judges to direct juries whenever rape myths are raised in court.
If we want to increase the number of rapes that lead to sentences, victims need to know they are safe in any courtroom.

This is horrific. An 81-year-old woman with terminal cancer forced to sleep on plastic chairs in a hospital cupboard for two days.
Nobody should ever be stripped of their dignity like this. The NHS is at breaking point, and the Government cannot keep looking the other way.
