The Liberal Democrats have called on Rishi Sunak to commit to sacking Dominic Raab, if the official investigation confirms the allegations of bullying made against him.
Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey has challenged Rishi Sunak today at PMQs to support struggling homeowners with a Mortgage Protection Fund, raising the case of a constituent whose mortgage payments have rocketed by £500 a month.
Last night in the House of Commons, local MP Tim Farron tabled an amendment to the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill, calling for support for struggling businesses in Cumbria's town and villages centres.
Mayor Dave Hodgson has announced the Council will invest millions into the Schools Capital Programme in 2024. This will fund two new primary schools in Wixams and Sharnbrook and around 40 new classrooms through expansions to Wixams Academy, Bedford Academy and schools west of Bedford. The investment will make sure that there is strong education infrastructure across the Borough.
"Low and middle earners paying the bill for Conservative economic disaster"
As someone who has worked in and with telecommunications sector regulators including Ofcom in the UK and those in several other countries for more than 20 years, I have come to understand the impact on business of an uncertain regulatory environment. When future regulation is unknown, and potentially divergent from regulation in core markets, it increases business risk. When business risk increases, investment decisions are at best delayed.
