First it was stealth taxes on households, and now it’s a stealth tax on our high streets.
The government is hammering businesses, we need an urgent VAT cut for hospitality services now.

We need a better relationship with Europe - the bad Brexit deal is costing us £90bn. Meanwhile, tech giants are getting away with not paying a digital services tax.
The Liberal Democrats are fighting for the growth this country deserves.

It’s vital we decarbonise home heating. Heat pumps are one great option, but not right for every home.
The Government must back other technologies, like Luthmore’s zero-emission boiler, with the same support like VAT exemption & grant funding.
We need a range of green technology to cut emissions.

Government must level the playing field for the clean heat industry – or risk leaving UK homes out in the cold
The Warm Homes Plan is a crucial opportunity to make the most of a range of innovative, low-carbon technologies to decarbonise homes at scale, writes Lib Dem MP Wera Hobhouse

The new 3p per mile electric vehicle tax has lots of details still to be worked out bit.ly/3Koku5P and it could end up an even bigger mess than the provision of fast, cheap, clearly priced charging points
Electric cars will need annual checks under Reeves’s new rules
Under the chancellor’s pay-per-mile scheme motorists would have to have mileage officially verified each year

Richard Tice’s comments are irresponsible and shameful.
There is no "overdiagnosis crisis" of children with neurodiverse issues.
The real crisis is a SEND system on its knees, where parents fight for every scrap of support and children are left without the help they desperately need and deserve.
