I’m deeply concerned that the Six Nations could be put behind a paywall. It’s a key part of our nation’s sporting calendar. The Liberal Democrats are calling for the tournament to remain on free-to-air television so access for all rugby fans continues.

Three times!
That’s how many times I asked Education Secretary if she would consider introducing auto-enrolment for free school meals – and every time she refused to say.

We can't let British democracy turn into a plaything for overseas billionaires with short attention spans.
At PMQs, I urged the Prime Minister to work with us to make sure power always sits with the voters, not wealthy foreign oligarchs.
