A promise made. A promise broken.

It's clear to see: the Conservatives are bad for our nation's health.

Extraordinary - massive 40% rise in emergency calls for people 'at risk of freezing to death':

Lots of super-heroes in Chelmsford tomorrow!

High streets are the life and soul of our communities, but for too long they have been ignored by the Conservatives.

Our tax reforms will slash the burden on struggling high street shop owners, and instead ensure landowners pay their fair share.

The shocking state of (lack of) access to dental care. Storing up huge problems for the future, which will cost the taxpayer more in the long-term. (Same applies to other health conditions and roads/pavements.) essexlive.news/news/essex-new…

Yesterday, my Chelmsford colleague Marie Goldman 🔶 and party leader Ed Davey met a local mum of a child with SEND and they told BBC News what a struggle it has been. See this BBC News item (online until 10:35pm tonight) bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

It is a shocking indictment of our Conservative government that Essex Police take more than 6 hours on average to respond to burglary calls. Local people deserve better than this and I will hold them to account on why this isn't getting better cmld.org.uk/news/article/p…

Today we welcomed leader Ed Davey to Chelmsford who spoke with Marie Goldman 🔶 about the awful situation for children with special needs and disabilities in Essex & the country

Liberal Democrats propose a national agency to make it so much easier for parents to get support they need

We have a housing crisis in London - too little being built and too many badly built old houses and flats that are difficult to retrofit.

So I was delighted to visit the Cambridge road estate development in Kingston with Emily Davey, providing 218 more council homes and much…

Yet thanks to years of Conservatives' ineffective resourcing of local police forces, this is increasingly out of reach.

The British public deserves so much better than this.

I am now confirmed as a candidate in the upcoming Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner elections and I look forward to the opportunity to hold the Conservatives to account on policing, crime and fire services.

This was spotted by Marie Goldman 🔶, who is lobbying Essex CC for a radical overhaul of SEND services. Completely unacceptable that children, young people and their families are being so desperately let down

Rishi Sunak laughing in the face of people crying out for change is the perfect example of how careless, callous and chaotic this Conservative Party is.

Another Lib Dem win - with 50% of the vote!

CONFIRMED: Michael Gove has caved in to Tory MPs, and his party's manifesto promise to ban no-fault evictions is in tatters.

His watered down plan means the vast majority of renters still face being evicted from their homes through no fault of their own.

'It's going to be the most ambitious part of our manifesto...We will be spending more money on our NHS'

Daisy Cooper says health and social care will be central to the Lib Dems election offering.
