Many of us have been glued to the television watching the unfolding crisis in Ukraine. Our thoughts are with the brave men and women resisting Putin's aggression, and their families and refugees. At home we also have a crisis. This is the cost of living crisis. The story or blame game that is being developed by Johnson's government is that it is all Putin's fault.

At a meeting of Full Council, Mayor Dave Hodgson answered a question from local Kempston Liberal Democrat Campaigner Linda Jack on what the council is doing and what residents can do to help Ukrainian refugees.
Responding to the announcement of P&O Ferries laying off 800 workers with immediate effect, Liberal Democrat Transport Spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:
Civic leaders, including local Liberal Democrat Councillors, marked one hundred years since Rugby's war memorial gates were dedicated on Saturday 12 March 2022.
Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey used his Spring Conference speech in York on Sunday 13 March 2022 to call for stronger international cooperation to counter the threat posed by Putin's Russia. He also called on Rishi Sunak to reverse tax rises and cut VAT to help tackle the cost of living crisis.
