MP for North Shropshire and @LibDems Spokesperson for Health and Social Care. Promoted by North Shropshire Lib Dems at Flat B, The Fighting Cocks, SY11 1QE.
I’ve taken the decision not to stand as Lib Dem candidate in Edinburgh West at the next GE. It has been a fantastic decade. I want to thank @EdwardJDavey for all his support over the years. I’m confident our next chapter will be even more successful and I’m sad I won’t be there.
Britain feels broken because it is being held back. People feel powerless, and they can't hold the powerful to account.
Liberal Democrats want to change our politics so that, together, we can fix our country.
Just been talking to a farmer who is devastated by yesterday’s SFI disaster. 90% of their farm failed to get into SFI due to the calamitous closure of the window after less than 6 hours yesterday. Ministers must come up with an emergency solution today.
Liberal Democrats took more than 3 million people out of paying income tax altogether with the personal allowance. Rewarding hard work and aspiration. Helping the lowest paid the most. So we will raise the tax-free personal allowance to £15,000. Taking 2 million more people out of paying tax altogether, and giving most taxpayers a £680 tax cut.
The young carer and adult carer visit was a chance to raise a serious issue.
Far too many carers are exhausted and unable to access the support they need to take time away from caring.
Taking a break should not be a luxury – it is essential for carers’ health and wellbeing.
Ahead of Conference, @HelenMorganMP spoke to new parents in Brighton about maternity care.
For too long, too many families have been let down by the maternity crisis.
That’s why we passed our motion to make England the safest place to have a baby.
Liberal Democrat members passed a new policy on Securing Britain and Defending Liberalism.
Britain can only rise to the challenges of our times by working with our allies.

“You don’t have to be a member to attend,” says Andy Street.
That’s fortunate for @Prosper_UK_. Because despite the fact they have correctly diagnosed the Tory party’s problems, @KemiBadenoch has made it very clear their brand of moderate centrist politics is unwelcome.
Join us for events with the Tony Blair Institute, More in Common, the Resolution Foundation, Centre for Cities and more, alongside Andy Street, Ruth Davidson, David Gauke and Margot James.
Come and join us in Birmingham - you don't need to be a Conservative Member for all events.

Meet Patrick!
The people of Holborn and St Pancras deserve better than politicians treating the constituency as a personal platform.
Liberal Democrats like Patrick will keep serving residents on the issues that matter, not their own ambitions.
Another NHS scandal. Another cycle of horror and inaction.
The Thirlwall Inquiry exposed repeated failures to act on warnings and protect whistleblowers.
We’ve proposed changes to stop this happening again.
The Government must back them.

Plaid Cymru went into the Senedd election telling people that independence wasn’t on the ballot.
Just months later, the First Minister is spending his efforts pursuing independence with the SNP and Sinn Féin. 🤷♀️🤷♂️
