Taking our Fair Deal to the country


There’s less than a month to go until polling day!

This week, saving the NHS and supporting carers has been central to our
message. Neglected by this out-of-touch Conservative Government, we’re fighting
to give them the attention they deserve.

Both themes are highlighted in our Party Election Broadcast, released this
week.

Ed Davey’s experience as a carer for his disabled son, and for his mother
during his childhood, makes this deeply personal to him.

But 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.

Week 2 Roundup


Here are some of the policies we've been highlighting this week during Ed's
tour!


Cutting cancer waits


Last year, almost 100,000 cancer patients waited longer than 62 days to start
treatment, putting their recovery at risk.

This week, we pledged for cancer patients to have a legal right to start
treatment within 62 days of an urgent referral.

Reforming the care system


This week, Ed spoke to ITV News about his experience as a carer:

⏲️ Watch time: 2 mins


The care system is failing both carers and those they care for. Many people
are forced to stay in hospital when they could be at home, living more
independently, with dignity.

That’s why we’ll introduce free personal care for elderly and disabled
adults, funded by reversing the Conservatives’ tax cuts for big banks.

We will also raise care workers’ pay because, despite doing extraordinary
work, far too many struggle to make ends meet.

A new Blue Flag status for rivers and beaches


After years of neglecting the sewage crisis, we’re doing everything we can to
get the Conservatives to pay attention. Did you see Daisy Cooper photobombing
the Prime Minister on the Thames this week… 👀

⏲️ Watch time: 1 min


We’ve announced plans for a massive expansion of marine protected areas and a
new Blue Flag status for rivers.

This new status will set legally binding targets to prevent sewage dumping,
protecting swimmers and wildlife after years of environmental vandalism.

Mental Health MOTs


Mental ill health affects one in four of us. We must improve access to mental
health support so more people don’t fall into long-term sickness.

That’s why we’re focussed on a preventative approach, with mental health MOTs
provided at the most vulnerable points in life.

We’d spend an extra £70m a year on NHS talking therapies by 2028-29, funded
through a clampdown on tax evasion.

Shared parental leave


The first year of a child’s life is crucial; not just for the child but also
for parents.

This week, we revealed our plans to boost shared parental leave by increasing
statutory pay for new parents and creating a ‘dad month’ so new fathers can
take more time off work.

This £2.4bn investment will be paid for by clamping down on tax avoidance and
evasion.

Sport for the people


The summer of sport is kicking off but rising ticket and streaming costs are
making it less accessible for many.

We’re calling for more free-to-air sports, including 10 Premier League games
on channels like the BBC and ITV, plus 10 Scottish Championship games and 20
English Football League games.

80th Anniversary of D-Day


<>
On 6 June, we joined millions of people across the country to reflect on the
sacrifices made to free Europe from tyranny 80 years ago.

Their bravery was the building block of modern Europe. We will always honour
those who gave their lives, and keep their legacy alive.
