Rishi Sunak’s failure to declare his secret meetings with Dominic Cummings appears to be a clear breach of the Ministerial Code.

These shady attempts to bring back Cummings through the back door need to be properly scrutinised. We urgently need to know why these meetings weren’t declared in the proper way, and if any officials were present or informed.

This Autumn Statement was a Hunt hoax.

Buried in the small print is a massive stealth tax raid that will drag millions into paying a higher rate in the coming years.

Check out 5️⃣ Hidden Horrors in Hunt's #AutumnStatement ⬇️ 1️⃣Stealth taxes:
Frozen tax thresholds mean 7.4m people will now be paying a higher rate of income tax. Over 6 years, that’s a total tax raid of £201bn.

Rishi Sunak’s speech was so out of touch he may as well have been living on another planet.

From energy and food prices, to sewage and dentistry, here are 10 big issues the Prime Minister couldn't even be bothered mentioning. ⬇️ 1. Mortgages
The average mortgage has gone up by £220 a month in the year since the catastrophic mini Budget, according to the Bank of England.

Rishi Sunak is no friend of British business.❌

As Chancellor his budgets whacked small businesses with unfair fair tax hikes and signed off botched trade deals which left farmers worse off. 🧑🏼‍🌾

Check out 5️⃣ times Rishi Sunak Betrayed British Businesses ⬇️ 1. Hiking taxes 💷

Rishi Sunak raised national insurance on small businesses.

Analysis found this cost British employers nearly £4bn over seven months.

Our goal must be nothing less than to change the very nature of British politics itself.

For a hundred years, Liberals and Liberal Democrats have fought for fair votes.

To give everyone an equal voice in our democracy. While the other parties still cling to the discredited First Past the Post electoral system, our zeal for Proportional Representation remains undimmed today.

We will make fair votes a reality for all.

At every step of the way – on the economy, the cost-of-living or the NHS – Rishi Sunak has had to be dragged kicking and screaming just to do the bare minimum.

His great “vision” for Britain, basically amounts to:

“Try not to make things any worse.” Liberal Democrats' ambition for our country is so much greater than that.

We understand that you can’t just keep applying one short-term sticking plaster on top of another –- while the wound deepens and festers underneath.

The fair deal we are fighting for:

Ending the scandal of thousands of patients every week stuck for hours in the back of an ambulance, waiting to get into A&E.

Protecting our environment by banning raw sewage from being dumped into our rivers.

@EdwardJDavey at #LDConf @EdwardJDavey Taking real action on the climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis.

Helping small businesses to recover from the pandemic.

Making our communities safe by tackling the rise in crime.

Welcoming refugees with care and compassion.

Restoring trust and decency to our politics.

But we can’t stop there.

Because, as all parents know, the impact of Covid on our children goes far beyond the learning they have lost.

We worry about the effect this pandemic has had on their emotional development too. Their mental health and wellbeing.

@EdwardJDavey #LDConf @EdwardJDavey For every five children who need mental health treatment, three of them are unable to access it.

And some have to travel hundreds of miles to get it.

We wouldn’t tolerate it for children's physical health, and we mustn’t tolerate it for their mental health either.

Nowhere is that fair deal more important than in education.

When you’re a parent, and you pour that amount of love and devotion into your kids.

You deserve to know that the Government will do its bit for them too.

@EdwardJDavey at #LDConf @EdwardJDavey You should know that they are walking into a building that’s been well-maintained.

That their teacher has the time and resources to give every child in the class proper attention.

And that they will leave with the grades they need and the hope and opportunities they deserve.

Rishi Sunak has wasted more of our money than any Chancellor in history – and now wants us to pay for it in unfair tax rises.

@EdwardJDavey at #LDConf @EdwardJDavey This Chancellor is failing millions of people hit so hard by the cost-of-living crisis.

He could have asked the fossil fuel giants – raking in super profits – to do their bit.

A windfall tax, to raise the cash to cut people’s energy bills now. But no. Not this Chancellor.

Being taken for granted was what caused the people of Buckinghamshire to rise up in their thousands and vote for Sarah Green last summer.

It’s what caused the people of Shropshire to rise up and vote for Helen Morgan in December.

@EdwardJDavey at #LDConf @EdwardJDavey We will all miss our dear friend, Erlend Watson.

A true Liberal, whose infectious energy, encyclopaedic mind and big heart are legendary.

But it is at least fitting that the final by-election of Erlend’s life was a historic Lib Dem gain.

@EdwardJDavey at #LDConf

The lawbreaking and lies of this Prime Minister are matched only by the cowardice and complicity of Conservative MPs.

They ducked their responsibility to kick Boris Johnson out of Downing Street. They chose to keep as Prime Minister a man who broke his own laws.

#LDConf With a few honourable exceptions, Conservative MPs now all subscribe to Boris Johnson's new conservative philosophy:

Truth doesn’t matter.

Laws are for other people.

Rules don’t apply to them.
