Have been thinking about “immigration has been tearing this country apart.” Surely I’m not the only person to think that it isn’t true, but inflamed rhetoric about immigration by politicians is what is tearing this country apart and so statements like that only makes it worse.

Today is World ME day and I have joined my Liberal Democrat colleagues to write to the Secretary of State to raise concerns about the lack of funding for ME/CFS
People with ME have one of the lowest qualities of life of any condition but have faced minimal research funding!

And it's *horribly* arrogant to ask people to fall in line, because trust has been broken – for them, it could get worse still even under Labour! Once a party finds it's safe to throw a group under the bus, there's no guarantee they won't do it again.

This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

This is a raw, hard-hitting video about the reality for many children and parents.
It shows that the ‘SEND crisis’ isn’t just about children. It’s about families whose lives are completely overturned by the lack of understanding & provision for their children.

Many children tell us they want to walk or cycle to school but they are currently deprived of that choice because they don’t feel safe.
This week in Westminster, I led a debate on how we can make our streets safer and give children the freedom to travel actively to school.
