While wildfires rage, oil bosses are laughing all the way to the bank thanks to Donald Trump’s idiotic Iran war. People across the country are facing sky high energy bills. If Burnham is struggling to find the money to help families with those bills, I’d start here.

Good meeting. Lots of work ahead.

Very positive to hear Andy Burnham talking about social care pay and workforce progression which is something we @libdems.org.uk have also been calling for for some time. As @eddavey.libdems.org.uk says we are all going to have to give and take to find common ground to fix social care.

FA 'deeply concerned' and issue statement on FIFA's plan to sell off World Cup

FIFA president Gianni Infantino is under fire amid plans to sell shares in the World Cup, sparking anger from fans and confederations such as UEFA, who have accused him of 'crossing a line'

Caring has been central to my life, and the lives of millions across the country. I'll be meeting the Prime Minister today to discuss how we can finally find a solution to the care crisis. We need to do things differently. I really hope we are on a journey to fix this.

Some positive signals from Andy Burnham who really seems to understand the care crisis. Like Andy I have personal experience of the care system - it has helped shape so much of my work as an MP. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

As a young single mum and journalist I remember interviewing Sue Johnston about her experience of raising a child on her own and she gave me absolutely invaluable advice about the importance of building a support system. Total legend ❤️

Ann Droid is a joy to watch and both Sue Johnston and Diane Morgan are superb. It also has a really important message about carers. Really recommend.

Donald Trump is doubling down on his reckless trade war, after his last tariff tantrum was ruled illegal. He's a bully and an unreliable ally. We can't have continuity Starmer. Andy Burnham must stand up to Trump.

Just a reminder that I first raised the impact of potential delays with the EES system in APRIL and the response from the Government was incredibly weak. questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-ques...

Now let’s see Andy Burnham sllash rail fares by 10% and cut fuel duty by 10p a litre.

Delighted Andy Burnham is capping bus fares at £2 which my @libdems.org.uk MP colleagues and I called for but as I raised in Transport Questions last week in Eastleigh we also need bus routes reinstated - and the times for concessionary travel should be extended.

The social care crisis is a catastrophe for families, for the NHS and for local services. Liberal Democrats stand ready to work across party lines to tackle this existential crisis. For carers and for our country. Nothing matters more.

My @libdems.org.uk MP colleagues and I have been consistently calling for this unworkable, costly, intrusive policy to be scrapped. It would have discriminated against the digitally excluded and the money can be much better spent elsewhere, Right decision. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Andy Burnham to scrap digital ID to focus on 'helping with cost of living'

If Andy Burnham is serious about reforming social care I sincerely hope he will work cross party. There is a lot of expertise on the @libdems.org.uk benches on social care including lived experience as well as all the experiences of our constituents.

The rot at FIFA has gone too far. Under Infantino, political greed has completely broken the game we love. We can't just watch from the sidelines anymore, the FA and our European partners need to walk away and build a fair, clean alternative from scratch. It’s time to move on.

England did us proud and gave us all hope this summer. Hopefully many more kids across the country will be inspired to play football. Thank you for everything #ENG 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🦁🦁🦁

The country owes these people a debt of gratitude. Ordinary people who have achieved something extraordinary. Heroes every one.

I was proud to support the Hillsborough law tonight, which means so much to to all the victims and families who have suffered terrible miscarriages of justice. They include the victims of the infected blood scandal and Horizon post office scandal who live in Eastleigh.

Infantino must go. No matter where it’s held, the World Cup belongs to the fans – not gangsters like Trump. We need someone who’ll finally kick corruption out of FIFA.

Half a million flogging gold, a £5M reward for Brexit - and now reports say he’s been funded by a convicted criminal. Farage isn't fighting for Britain - he's fighting for the highest bidder.

Great to be at Feastleigh (and just met Amanda from the Repair Shop - AKA one of the Teddy Ladies!)

Finally I agree with Piers Morgan on something. Brexit has been an unmitigated disaster. #BBCLauraK
