Today is International Womenβs Day, a time to celebrate women's stories and achievements.
We honour their impact and recognise the work still needed to achieve equality.
Together, may we uplift, empower, and create a world where every woman thrives.

Photos of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Lib Dems FORCE government to release the Andrew files
Today is an important step in dismantling the system that protected Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Epsteinβs other associates.
The victims, survivors and their families have waited far too long for the truth to come out and justice to be done.
Our motion forcing the Government to release the Andrew files has been successful.
The culture that protected Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and other Epstein associates must end now. Victims and survivors have waited long enough.
Faced with a chance to protect children from harmful social media, Labour and the Conservatives chose to debate parliamentary procedure instead.
We must act now to keep our children safe online.
Families are crying out for action to protect our children from harmful social media.
Faced with an opportunity to vote for a ban for the first time, Labour MPs voted against our plan.
Across the country, vital care services continue to be underfunded and treated as tomorrowβs problem.
Parents of disabled children and adults live in constant fear. They deserve security, dignity, and a government that acts before homes close and lives are uprooted.
Wishing those marking Lent, the 40-day season of fasting, prayer, and repentance, a blessed Ash Wednesday and a Lent filled with grace.

Out campaigning in beautiful Sussex where local elections ARE now going ahead despite the local Conservatives trying to cancel them.
Like in so many areas of the country, the Tories and Labour are finished and itβs turning into a fight between the Lib Dems and Reform.
Wishing all those observing this holy month in Havant Borough, the UK and around the world a healthy and blessed Ramadan. Ramadan Mubarak.
Happy Pancake Day!
Wishing a happy new year to the Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese communities in the UK, and to everyone celebrating the lunar new year.
May it be a time of joy and celebration for you and your family.
Very strong and important words from Jess Brown-Fuller, MP for Chichester.
4/4 ...and accepting society where everyone can live as their authentic selves without fear of judgment or discrimination.
3/4 Aromantic individuals should not be stigmatised or excluded; their identities and experiences are valid.
Let's take this opportunity to show support and solidarity for the aromantic community and raise awareness of their experiences. United, we must work towards a more inclusive...
2/4 The term "aromantic" encompasses a wide range of experiences, from those who do not experience any romantic attraction at all to those who experience it occasionally or in specific circumstances.
It is important to recognise and respect the diversity of human experiences.
Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week!
During this week, we celebrate and raise awareness about the aromantic spectrum, which includes those who do not experience romantic attraction or experience it in different ways than what is considered βtypicalβ in society.
1/4 #AroWeek
The prime ministerβs claim to responsible management is undone by his own incompetence. Public trust ebbs away β a worry when voters start shopping around and Reform UK is selling racism. Stagnation exposes governments that lack an economic model. That is why interventions this week by Andy Burnham, the Greater Manchester mayor, and Daisy Cooper, the Lib Dem Treasury spokesperson, matter. Both accept that cost of living pressure is becoming politically dangerous and that the status quo isnβt working. The Lib Dems want to shake up Whitehall. They are calling for a break up of the Treasury and its replacement with a new department of growth based in Birmingham. The most radical idea is that the growth department would set fiscal policies. That might be a very good idea if it opened up the space for productive cash injections with an acknowledgment that fiscal deficits are required to rebuild the social democratic space. - Extract from Guardian editoria
Guardian editorial backs Daisy Cooper's speech setting out our bold plan to break up the Treasury to boost growth π
Labour has rejected my proposal for secure bike lockers at train stations, a simple step to make cycling safer.
I have resubmitted the proposal for the next stage.
In the meantime, I need your support.

π¨BREAKING: Lib Dems announce plan to replace Treasury with new Department for Growth based in Birmingham.
It's time to get Britain growing again.
The BBC's investigation exposed a sick reality: women are being secretly filmed on nights out with the images posted online for profit.
Iβm introducing a new bill to make this a criminal offence.
No women should fear that a night out will end with them being objectified & humiliated online.
π©βπ¬π§ͺ On Women in Science Day, we are reminded that some of the greatest breakthroughs in history would not have been possible without women.
β Let us continue to challenge gender bias as we work to inspire the next generation of pioneers.

...within their family, school, and community. This helps protect against negative behaviours and promotes thriving.
For years, mental health has often been underfunded. With over 300,000 children on waiting lists for over a year to be seen, it is clear that there is a cry for help...

This yearβs theme, βThis is My Placeβ, is designed to do just that.
Making a child feel they belong is crucial to their mental health, academic success, and overall development. It fosters security, confidence, and resilience by ensuring they feel accepted, valued, and connected...
This week is Childrenβs Mental Health Week.
It is suitable for our children to feel they belong in their environment, feel safe, and be able to ask for help.
