In the Chancellor's spending review in June, she barely mentioned the South West.
Our people & communities deserve to have their needs listened to.
This Budget must be different. We, South West @libdems.org.uk MPs, are fighting to ensure our region cannot be ignored again.

It is 90 years since George Orwell travelled to the north of England to learn about the living conditions of the northern working-class, during the long Depression of the 1930s.
Today’s figures show not much has changed.

My thoughts are first and foremost with those who lost loved ones or live with life-limiting conditions like Long Covid. The Inquiry’s finding that an earlier lockdown could have saved 23,000 lives is devastating. We must learn lessons: act early, protect lives & jobs, and ensure Govt is prepared.

The climate crisis doesn't just displace people physically, it threatens our culture, history, and way of life.
This part of the damage must be recognised. By holding polluters to account AND supporting people's efforts to protect our heritage.

I find it notable that Wilders et al haven’t said a word about the Huntingdon attack
You don’t always have to comment on everything, of course. But we all know that if the suspect had been Muslim they’d have been all over it.
It’s never about the victims, always about their their own prejudices

Proof that hope, optimism and liberal values can beat the fear and division of the populist right.
Let’s do the same here in the UK and wipe the smile off Farage’s face at the local elections in May.

RIP to Prunella Scales. Sybill Fawlty was one of the greatest comic creations. There's no Basil without Sybil.
But I will probably remember her most fondly as Martin's Mum in Cabin Pressure.
