Patients and staff are being hit with a one billion bombshell of hospital car parking charges. This is an unfair tax on the sick and on hard-working NHS staff and it has to stop.
It cannot be right that nurses have to pay through the nose to get to work or that patients are subjected to sky-high fees to get treatment they desperately need.

I spoke in Parliament about the ICJ’s advisory opinion on the occupation.
The govt is working through what it means, especially on banning settlement goods, but what is taking so long? Prevarication has already damaged our reputation and it’s up to this govt to repair it.

BREAKING NEWS: French billionaire Jean-Louis Le Riche and German industrialist Hans-Dietrich Geldmann have agreed to donate 200m Euros to a new campaign to get 🇬🇧 back into the EU after the disaster of Brexit. Happy to announce I will be campaign director. I’m sure @Nigel_Farage @TiceRichard and Co will see absolutely nothing wrong with this at all. Common sense innit? #keepMuskMoneyOutOfOurCountry #TakeBackControl

Anorher #Brexit Ripple effect Farage and other Leavers never told you about!
UK tap water safety at risk after UK water testing labs that previously tested and certified chemicals used for water purification close.
Situation stems from Brexit-related regulatory changes. The new UK rules stipulate that products must be tested domestically, yet there are currently no operational testing labs!!
EU countries have expressed willingness to assist, but UK regulations currently prohibit this cooperation. Extremely concerning!
@Keir_Starmer accept the EU's offer - for all our sakes! theguardian.com/business/202…

Today, Ed Davey called on the Prime Minister to protect hospices from the national insurance rise and improve access to high-quality end-of-life care.

It's Private Members' Bill day!
I promised action on the cost of living and to protect the environment. My Sunshine Bill would do both.
It would force developers to put solar energy generation equipment on new homes. Good for the planet. Good for people’s pockets.

Another fine day, another leaflet delivery session in Burton Latimer for Jenny Davies, the @NNorthantsLDems candidate at the #Burton and #Broughton by election on 10th October.

Oh.
Brexit is having “profound and ongoing” negative impact on UK goods exports and imports, latest @jundu_econ analysis finds. No one lives in the counter factual world, but leaving single marks continues to cost UK. And 2023 was worse! 1/2

Labour tried to sneak this out on a Friday night. Hoping no-one would notice.
Now we know. Labour is taking away the Winter Fuel Payment from 71% of pensioners with a disability and 83% of over 80’s.
Make no mistake. This is Labour putting politics before pensioners.

The #Darzi #NHS report is scathing.
We @LibDems have long argued that we need to shift healthcare from hospital to home, and from treatment to prevention.
Health & wealth are two sides of the same coin; economic growth will only come by investing in *both* health & care - now.
Prevention is better than cure when it comes to our NHS - so we will invest in more GPs, in care, in mental health support, in dentistry rather than waiting until everyone lands in A&E.
