    Liberal Democrats support making the Universal Credit uplift permanent. But we need to go further. That’s why I have tabled an amendment to extend the uplift to carers and all those claiming legacy benefits. If selected, I hope all parties will support.

    Whilst I wholeheartedly support the party's campaign it only speaks to one of these aspects. /3

    Today I’m launching the next stage of our campaign: Give Carers a Break. Most carers are exhausted. Many haven't been able to take time off since the pandemic hit. Back our campaign for emergency funding to give unpaid carers a break👇

    If you are a carer, there is some welcome additional funding support here.

    Unpaid carers are being offered financial & practical support in Hampshire during the national lockdown. We're urging those who care for vulnerable loved ones to come forward for help, including one-off payments through the Carers Wellbeing COVID Fund.

    Liberal Democrats are fighting to and lead the way to a more caring society as we emerge from this pandemic. This starts by raising Carer's Allowance for unpaid carers by £1,000 a year. Back our campaign & show your support. 👇

    If elected, I'll take each and every one of my fellow unpaid carers into the chamber with me, every moment of every day for the entirety of my time in office - It's time parliament did right by each and every one of them! |

    The least govt should do as a thank you to carers doing this vital work whilst making no calls on state funds 🤷‍♀️

    Totally support this, really pleased that Powys is committed to care. Next step is to get the letter off to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to uplift Carers Allowance. They deserve support too.
