Big announcements on defence spending mean nothing if the money doesn't move. Our peer, Chris Fox warns British businesses are going to go bust waiting, and our allies in Estonia are publicly saying the UK is too slow.

The Conservatives' response to far-right Islamophobia is whataboutism. Meral Hussein-Ece, Lib Dem equalities spokesperson, had a different answer. Prosecute the hate speech that would trigger outrage if it targeted any other group. Choose your fighter.

Medical misogyny is still the norm. Women aren't listened to. Maternity failures repeat across the country. Perinatal mortality is rising. We want every maternity unit rated good or outstanding with one-to-one midwifery guaranteed. Britain should be the safest place in the world to give birth.

⚠️ "Labour's red lines are holding Britain back." Closer ties mean better trade with our nearest neighbours, EU e-gates for British holidaymakers, and border police with access to EU data. In Lords today, Chris Fox is pushing Labour to be bolder on Europe.

Donald Trump could legally donate to UK political parties under the government's current plans and @markpackuk.bsky.social, Cabinet Office spokesperson, wants to know why ministers are letting it happen.

A deeply touching moment in the House of Lords today. Lib Dem peer @lynnefeatherstone.bsky.social spoke movingly today about her nephew, who died aged 35 from hepatitis C, and her sister, who campaigned for justice on the contaminated blood scandal for 40 years and passed away just weeks ago.

Labour can't even agree with itself on Europe. One of their own ministers just admitted that EU membership inevitable while the government fights it at every turn. The Liberal Democrats have been saying it for years. It's time to act.

One victim gets £11,400. Another gets £83,200. The only difference? A lawyer. Floella Benjamin, Lib Dem peer, is demanding the government fix the Windrush compensation scheme that punishes those least able to fight back.

"This Government clearly want more power to render people destitute." Sarah Teather, drawing on nine years working with destitute asylum seekers, delivers a devastating verdict on Labour's asylum plans.

Even Labour ministers now admit the UK should rejoin the EU. The Liberal Democrats have said it for years. The question is no longer if, it's when the government stops dragging its feet.

Away from the reporters’ cameras, Gazans carrying “aid” bags show the real nightlife: passing people dancing with sodas, buying desserts, walking past the packed O2GAZA, stopping to watch deliveries at Taj Mall, and ending with a slushy at another restaurant.
