I’m disgusted that some senior DWP people have learned nothing about the scale of the misery their policies inflicted. It’s high time the DWP showed some respect to carers and some awareness of their own gross errors.

Do Labour care about our high streets? This is another nail in their coffin, how will this effect or pubs and hospitality sector here in Islington?

Just a reminder that when Lib Dems cut energy bills by cutting back on Green levies, it was Labour and the current Energy Secretary who opposed it. Labour's Shadow Energy Secretary, at the time, said this was a "dirty deal with the energy companies." You can't trust Labour.

The Chancellor has finally decided to abolish the two-child benefit cap. The Liberal Democrat Group at the LGA has long championed the abolition of the two-child benefit cap, our members on the Children, Young People and Families Committee raised this at every opportunity.

Liberal Democrats are fighting to save the high street AND cut your cost of living. Our plan would cut your energy bills, slash VAT for hospitality, and put £270 back in your pocket.

We’re calling on the government to cut VAT for the hospitality industry to protect our High Streets & create jobs, this is the boost that Upper Street and the Angel needs #Budget2026

Hospitality is on its knees. A 5% VAT cut would give our economy and our high streets the lifeline they need.
