Iโm delighted that Shaffaq Mohammed will be joining the Lib Dem team in the House of Lords. @ShaffaqMohd has dedicated his life to youth work, public service and local government. He will be an excellent peer, standing up for young people, our environment and for Yorkshire.

@ElectionMapsUK Fantastic result for @SheffLibDems , the result tonight is for the 75k Sheffield pensioners that @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour have cruelly taken Winter Fuel Payments from, they must listen and reverse this cut

Removing the two child cap on benefits would help lift 300,000 children out of poverty. Five @LabourSheffield MPs voted against an amendment to remove it when some of their colleagues lost the whip to vote with the @LibDems. Disappointing

Disappointing that none of the newly elected @UKLabour MPโs in South Yorkshire voted to scrap the cruel @Conservatives โ2 child benefit capโ Labour promised โChangeโ just a few weeks ago at #GE2024 their first vote tonight was to continue with Tory policy
bbc.co.uk
The government comfortably won the vote despite growing pressure from some of its own MPs to scrap the policy.

Today I unveiled our manifesto - For a Fair Deal. Health and social care are at the heart of our manifesto - every vote for the Liberal Democrats at this election is a vote to elect a strong local champion who will fight every day for the NHS and care.

Caring isnโt 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

One of the greatest privileges of the office of Prime Minister is to be there to honour those who served, yet Rishi Sunak abandoned them on the beaches of Normandy. It is a total dereliction of duty and shows why this Conservative government just has to go.

Meeting serious challenges for the country with grown up policy, and doing it with a smile on his face. Thatโs the Ed Davey campaign method. โ

Well here it is, the moment we have all been waiting for. I will be standing to get a Fair Deal for Penistone and Stocksbridge. Broken promises from Labour and Tories have let our communities down. We need a local champion who understands and cares. #GeneralElection24
