Caring isn’t just my family's story, it is the story of millions, caring for each other, dealing with tough times, and keeping going with love. Sharing our story hasn't been easy, but it's important. It's time to bring carers' experiences into the light. https://t.co/osj0bh33QI

For the first time ever, Young Carers supporting parents with a severe mental illness will get the help they desperately need. A young carer called it "the safety net we always wished existed". So proud of @AlisonEBennett for her work with @CarersTrust.
🚨 LIB DEM WIN: @AlisonEBennett has secured changes to the Mental Health Bill, ensuring better support for young carers whose parents have mental illness.

Another stonker of a week for us - gaining from the Conservatives and the Green Party in Surrey and from Labour in Preston. The media might not tell you this but the Lib Dems are winning all over the place. This week's by-election scorecard 💪 Lib Dems 7 Reform 1 Con 1 Ind 1

Farage again blames “the endless eastward expansion of NATO” for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Even when he’s playacting at being tough on Putin, he can’t resist repeating Kremlin talking points.

Today I met with Ruslan Stefanchuk, Chairman of Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada. We discussed Ukraine’s ongoing fight for freedom and democracy, and the need to seize frozen Russian assets to defend Ukraine and Europe from Putin’s brutal war machine.

Really concerned to see Tommy Robinson launching a vile personal attack on the brilliant Daisy Cooper for asking about an important national security issue at PMQs. Very low.

My friend Ming Campbell had so many strengths. Olympian, statesman, party leader. At St Andrews, where he was Chancellor for almost twenty years, he gave so much to generations of students. @wendychambLD and I were proud to honour his legacy in the place he loved.

@Adamjamesdance But it's still six months away. I know that Adam will keep holding the NHS to account to make sure there are no more delays. Parents deserve safe care they can trust close to home.

Last month I visited Yeovil and heard about the difficulties faced by parents because of the closure of the local maternity unit. Thanks to the tireless work of @AdamJamesDance and campaigners, it's reopening.

I'm so glad that, today, Omri Miran is finally reunited with his family. He was taken hostage by Hamas terrorists two years ago. Rabbi Levi and the Kingston Liberal Synagogue have been praying for his safe release, and I was proud to join them. Now those prayers are answered.

Last year I met Itzik Horn, whose two sons were being held captive by Hamas. Yair was released earlier this year and today I am overjoyed that Eitan is also going home. I cannot imagine the trauma their family has suffered, and I pray they can now start to heal and move forward.

I was 'stunned' to discover what bears do in the woods
Nigel Farage says he was "stunned" to discover ex-Wales Reform leader Nathan Gill took bribes https://t.co/sAlETGQurR

Got stuck into some gardening at Frimhurst Enterprises, based at Frimhurst Family House, with @AlPinkerton, a fantastic social enterprise helping those with learning disabilities build new skills and have some fun. Big thanks to Peter for showing us around and keeping us busy.🪴

A stonker of a night for us. Three huge wins, Reform nowhere near us and the Tories down to ten percent in Mel Stride’s own seat. We are the only party taking Farage on and the only party beating him.

So great to see @jamiegreeneUK in Edinburgh!
Politics is in transit 🚚 If you’ve had enough of the divisive politics of Badenoch and Farage join the Liberal Democrats. Help us save our country, come and win with us.

Turning up at someone’s home like this is intimidation and totally unacceptable. I’m glad Naomi’s ok, this type of behaviour has no place in politics or anywhere else.
Over the last 25 years I've been in front-line politics, I've engaged with people from all backgrounds and perspectives. I've been open to debating and discussing issues, whether we agreed or not, including on here. Turning up as a mob, some in masks, at my home just isn't on. >

News of a ceasefire deal in Gaza brings real hope. The UK and our allies must do all we can to get the hostages home, get aid in to starving people, and finally end this horrific violence. This must be the first step towards a two-state solution and a lasting peace.
