So 5000 extra beds and 300 new ambulances, for everyone who needs this spelt out - THERE ARE NO NEW STAFF FOR THESE BEDS AND AMBULANCES - so how is this extra capacity going to be delivered exactly??

NHS was founded in 1948 not 1945.
The housing crisis has its roots in the inability to build houses or replace council housing following Right to Buy in the 1980s.
You are a liar and an idiot, shut up and go away.

It was an absolute honour to move my first council motion this evening. Damp and mould in social housing is unacceptable, I'm thankful that every Councillor present this evening agreed with me.

I'm a Liberal because I believe everyone should be able to do and say what they want, as long as it doesn't cause harm to themselves or others.
I'm a Liberal Democrat because I believe decisions should be made as close to the communities that will be affected. Full stop.

It's not just Ed's story. It's our story.
My mother has worked in H&SC since 1978, I have worked in the sector since 2022.
Care & the NHS are baked into my DNA.
It raised me, and last year saved my life.
Carers are the angels gifted to our country it's time they got a fair deal.
Caring isn't just Ed's story, it's the story of millions, caring for each other, dealing with tough times, and keeping going with love.
The Liberal Democrats will be the voice of carers every day, fighting their corner in Parliament.

I think this makes it official then.
It's been an incredible year of finding my feet in the role and dealing with health issues at the same time.
I've enjoyed every minute of it with Jules & Shaun. Most things are unseen and unheard, but we're always getting on with the job.
