It cannot be right that the government is still hounding carers for repayments, long after this scandal was exposed and even after we secured an independent review, but before it has been put right.
The government must pause repayments and get on with fixing the system so it works for carers.

Reform have suspended 4 cllrs on Kent CC after the leaked video exposing their divisions.
Lib Dems say Reform's meetings "sound more like an episode of The Traitors than the running of a major council."
"All that's missing is for Claudia Winkleman to appear & ask who they're going to banish next."

LIB DEM WIN!
The government has finally given in to our longstanding campaign to improve the quality of military family homes.
Our amendment to the Renters’ Rights Bill will, require the Ministry of Defence to assess service family housing and report on whether it meets the Decent Homes Standard.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.
The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.
At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Reform’s move to block local journalists from reporting on their work is straight out of Donald Trump's playbook.
It's a cornerstone of our democracy that politicians of all stripes are held to account — but for some reason Farage's cronies think they can make themselves exempt.
