What we needed from the Chancellor was a long-term plan to grow the economy, through a better deal with Europe, to cut people's taxes and bills.
Instead, we got a steady-as-she-goes Budget that just won't cut it.

Budget Day is tomorrow.
Here is what some of our Liberal Democrat MPs are calling on the Chancellor to deliver.

The International Development Committee heard from the director of @UNFPALondon @monicapferro about the damaging impact of aid cuts on health programming and on the wider global health ecosystem.

This is an extraordinary result: a rejection of Vučić’s government’s authoritarian suppression of opposition and a victory for democracy and free speech. The Student List have shown amazing courage. Putin will be furious to lose one of his loyal allies.

The Tories and Labour have created a farm payment scheme which actively disincentivises the production of food.
This is utter madness.
We are failing our farmers and we are failing our people as we sleepwalk into no longer being able to guarantee that we can feed our country.

Zelensky is a Genius:
Trump: "I'm buying oil from Putin, which will help fund the war against Ukraine."
Zelensky: "Ok then I'm blowing up all the Yandex Data centers in Russia, which host the bot Traffic that Putin uses to Help Trump cause chaos in the US elections. Checkmate!"

The UK government must ensure its climate finance spending is more accessible, inclusive and responsive to the needs and priorities of the most climate-vulnerable countries.

Welcome to Mark Pack’s vlog, sponsored by nobody.
The Lib Dems have tabled an amendment to ban politicians being paid by social media firms for their posts, because the angrier the post, the bigger the payout. Politicians shouldn’t be paid to stir up anger.

The Conservative plan for an Iron Dome defence system is yet another gimmick from a party that has lost all credibility on defence.
The Liberal Democrats are calling for a Growth and Defence Partnership with Europe - to make us stronger, richer and safer.

Yesterday, I joined @SarahDykeLD in writing to the DEFRA Secretary about the absolute shambles of SFI26.
Our letter urges the Secretary of State to take immediate action to ensure that those unfairly shut out of window 2 are given a genuine opportunity to apply.
