With global instability rising, it is crucial that we close the training capability gap identified in the Strategic Defence Review. Today I asked the Secretary of State how the Government intends to increase apprenticeship funding, in order to address this skills shortage.

Today I pushed the Minister to provide a detailed breakdown of how many of the additional 1.8 million NHS dental appointments provided have been urgent appointments, as opposed to routine checkups.

While I’m glad that the Government has agreed to postpone the Chancellor’s planned 5p increase in fuel duty, they must scrap their planned hike altogether, roll out our fully-costed plan to slash petrol prices by 12p per litre, and implement my Good Food Bill to safeguard our food supply chains.

The Liberal Democrats are calling for the Government to invest in Hobby Hubs – revitalising our community spaces, providing funding for specialist equipment, and helping to combat social isolation. If you have a hobby you’d like me to try out, please contact me at sarah.dyke.mp@parliament.uk

The King's Speech was a missed opportunity completely failing to address food security - critical to our national security especially in times of global instability. My Good Food Bill puts a National Food Strategy in place to support farmers & ensure stability in the supply chain & at the checkout.

Today, as Liberal Democrat Spokesperson, I asked the Minister for Water and Flooding about the Government’s plans to hold water companies properly to account.

In yesterday’s Pride Month debate, I reiterated my calls for more lesbians – and more people from across the LGBTQ+ community – to stand for election, whether that be in local elections or for Parliament.

I am glad to hear that the first application window for SFI 2026 will soon be opened to small farms and those without an existing agreement. I will continue pushing for clarity for the 28,000 farmers with agreements due to expire later this year or in early 2027.

Rural pubs are the beating heart of our communities. Despite this, recent increases to business rates and VAT for hospitality venues are putting pubs like the White Hart in Castle Cary under threat.

Investing in solar energy is a key step towards achieving net zero – but installing solar panels on fertile farmland further jeopardises the UK’s capacity to produce food. To ensure we meet our net zero goals, we must expand the incentives for our farmers to install rooftop solar panels.

Encouraged by this momentum and off the back of our very successful campaign to keep Māori wards and the Māori constituency in local government, we are continuing our mahi in 2026. We would love for you to be involved.

If you live in Dublin Central or Galway West, come out to vote today. This is your opportunity to punish the government and demand action on the cost of living and housing crises. The more No. 1 votes for PBP the stronger message to all the parties - we need FF/FG out.

I have one question for those who attended rallies across the country today: I agree that Trump is a horrible, both as a person and as a president - but do you really hate him so much that you’re willing to undermine what our founding fathers built and risk fostering extremism here? Are you serious?

In 2021, Congress introduced a bill that would have exempted “health misinformation” from Section 230 protection — defined by the HHS Secretary. But would those who supported that law at the time still be okay with handing that power to an unelected bureaucrat today?
