Very engaging Peers all Ears event at @libdems.org.uk conference. Useful insight into the influence of the second chamber. I asked a question about how Peers can ensure the #RentersRightsBill moves through parliament at pace. Older #renters living on a low income don't have time to waste! #LDconf

Good to join the Secretary of State and Minister @torstenbell.bsky.social at the relaunch of the #PensionsCommission today. The First Commission was truly transformative, so I've got high hopes for this one and how it will positively impact generations of future pensioners...
