Harrogate & Knaresborough Liberal Democrats

These measures are a sticking plaster that comes too late for many of our local businesses. Shunting the problem down the road for 6 months simply isn’t good enough. We need longer term support; focused on improving energy efficiency and cutting bills. bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

I’m honoured to be the Lib Dem candidate for Harrogate & Knaresborough. We deserve better than the scandal & incompetence that we see from the Tories. We can win here at the next election, with your help. Donate👇 hklibdems.uk/donate Volunteer👇 hklibdems.uk/volunteer

Wishing you a very happy New Year from the Liberal Democrats!

This Conservative government has let oil and gas bosses rake in mega-profits, as millions struggle to just about heat their home. It’s time to close the loopholes with a proper windfall tax.

“It comes down to power. A proportional electoral system would give every voter equal power. “With fair votes, everyone can make their voices heard.” @EdwardJDavey

This year, Tory MPs blocked a new law which would have forced water companies to report the number of animals killed by their toxic sewage dumps. It's time to end the sewage dumping in rivers to prevent wildlife being killed and the environment being irreparably damaged.

"The New Year is an opportunity to turn the page and look ahead. And although things are tough for millions, I sense change is possible - so I look to the New Year with hope and optimism." @EdwardJDavey's New Year message 🔽

Conservatives wasted billions on dodgy contracts and now are refusing a fair pay rise to nurses. Responsibility lies firmly with this government’s shambolic failure to find a solution. Blaming Putin is ludicrous and insulting to our nurses. huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/vladimir…

Our children shouldn't be getting sick from spending time in nature or building sandcastles next to sewage. The time is now to save Britain’s swimming spots and wildlife. This is a wake-up call to Conservative Ministers whose instinct is to do nothing. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Patients are being failed as waiting times skyrocket and hospitals crumble. This Conservative Government cannot continue to blame the pandemic for years of neglect and mismanagement of our NHS mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Underneath the surface of this terrible cost of chaos budget are even more hidden horrors. 😱⬇️

This Government's economic mismanagement is leaving pay packets stretched further than ever before - just as bills spiral out of control. mirror.co.uk/money/breaking…

Underneath the surface of this terrible cost of chaos Budget are yet more hidden horrors. Everything from police to social housing to our crumbling schools is being left in the dust by this Conservative Government. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

“It is clear that the only way to put the national interest first under this prime minister is to embarrass him into doing the right thing. "It is therefore essential that this amendment is passed." @amcarmichaelMP huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/mps-urge…

Everyone is being forced to pay the price for this Conservative government’s incompetence. Britain needs a fair plan to get through this cost of living crisis, yet today confirms we have a chaotic Conservative government which has no plan to help people. #AutumnStatement

This is the cost of chaos budget. Everyone is being forced to pay the price for the Conservatives' incompetence. After crashing the economy and sending mortgage bills spiralling, the Government is now inflicting eye-watering tax hikes and real-terms cuts to our public services.

This looks like yet another Conservative stitch up to let one of their own off the hook. Rather than let Rishi Sunak act as judge and jury, we need a genuinely independent ethics adviser who can investigate and punish ministers who break the rules. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

It’s completely unacceptable to balance the books on the backs of the young and the sick. Further cuts to our schools, NHS and care system would strip our already-struggling services to the bone. inews.co.uk/news/schools-h…

All across Britain, huge numbers of people are now seriously worried about their bills. These figures are deeply disturbing and must serve as a wake-up call for the Government. express.co.uk/news/politics/…

“Conservative MPs have lurched between different positions on fracking from month to month. “With my debate they now have the opportunity to make amends with the constituents they let down.” @HelenMorganMP independent.co.uk/climate-change…
