I argued for exemptions to the Housing Bill in order to support investment in mid-market and build-to-rent properties, to increase the supply of housing and tackle the housing emergency.

Alan Reid will be solid champion for Argyll and Bute in the Scottish Parliament. I have witnessed first hand his excellent work on behalf of constituents. #Scotlibdems #election

I support a franchising model for bus services in Fife, to prevent companies from constantly changing routes and picking and choosing the most profitable. Local people need stable services they can plan their lives around.

Last year, Trump’s cabinet showed up to Congress completely unprepared to defend Trump’s indefensible budget. It’s that time of year again and I’ll be pressing top officials for the answers the American people deserve.

The Liberal Democrats recently called for a maternity rescue plan, including a commissioner, guaranteed one‑to‑one midwife care during labour, and a consultant on maternity wards 24/7. Warm words aren’t enough when the lives of women and babies are at stake. It’s time for action.

The Larrakia Nation turned up today to the hearing into youth justice but the NT Government (who are the ones responsible for the harms kids are facing in the NT) has refused to come. I agree with Uncle Eric Fejo that it's an absolute disgrace.
