The Cost of Living crisis is at the root of so many of our problems in this country.
The Lib Dems have a plan to put £270 back in your pocket over the next 18 months.
The Chancellor's on the lookout for fresh ideas to turn things around... we'd be very glad for her to steal it from us!

This is a rare bit of good news for commuters in our corner of London, and comes after repeated calls by myself for residents to see the benefits of rail nationalisation on their daily commute.

I welcome this progress - but I’m worried that it will be years before the full extent of the fair settlement is put in place
The Estates and Facilities staff deserve to be recognised for their vital work keeping our hospitals safe, clean and functioning.

Hospitality is so much more than an industry - it's a critical part of the character of all of our communities. Slashing VAT for them would be a shot in the arm in these difficult times - for the businesses and customers alike.
The Chancellor must do so in the budget.

Phasing out concessions for electric vehicles makes no sense at all at a time when we still need to drive forward the transition to net zero
We shouldn’t be recouping costs by penalising those individuals and businesses who are doing their bit by going electric.

We're living in a country now where people are being priced out of even a trip to the pub, and hospitality venues themselves are struggling under mounting costs.
We can't just stand to the side and watch this happen. The Chancellor must listen to our proposals.

Mouth cancer can affect anyone – but early detection saves lives. Know the signs: ulcers that don’t heal, red or white patches, or unusual lumps.
