Official figures indicate net migration is falling, yet concern among Britons is close to the highest it has been since polling began in 1974

Lack of support for children with special educational needs and disabilities commonly known as SEND, is one of the biggest issues in my postbag as #Woking’s MP. Yet Tory-run #Surrey County Council is refusing to reply to MPs about SEND! 😡

It is appalling that Surrey CC has told MPs not to contact them about SEND cases. They should realise that even SCC Children's Service is accountable for what they do.
We are incredibly disappointed that @surreycc.gov.uk have appeared to have closed down avenues for #Surrey MPs to raise our constituents' #SEND cases with the council. We Surrey @libdems.org.uk have written to Cllr Clare Curran to share our profound concerns. ✍

The UK government must stand up to Trump as Canada has. USA farming methods would not be tolerated here. They mst not dump their stuff here in competition with our farmers who adhere to higher standards.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.
This is the...

Well done and thank you @liztownsend.bsky.social It's a shame the SCC cabinet didn't adopt all your proposals but this is a great first step.
Excited to have secured a real change! It’s not every day you get to make a genuine impact. I truly hope this will improve the panel process for parents, carers, and children with additional needs— still so much more to be done. #SEND #EducationMatters www.surreylibdems.org.uk/news/article...

Just think what could be achieved if all those multi billionaires used their money on medical science and humanitarian aid instead of a peeing contest to see who has got the biggest rocket.

My first Blue-sky rant.
I am fed up with hearing politicians of one party or another saying we must fix social care. The issue is not going to go away just because you try to avoid it. The situation is causing pain and distress for many families. Just get on with it. Cross-party agreement needed.

It is right that DWP are to review the carers' earnings cliff-edge, but it can’t be business as usual while that review takes place.
Carers do vital work. If we are to rescue our NHS, we must support them.
