Nick Clegg: Brexit is proving the Tories are no longer the party of business
New policy on City passporting rights, business rates and airport expansion will all harm the private sector If you pay £16,500 you can have an advert on the canvas bags or lanyards issued to delegates. If you want an exhibition stand in a plum spot you'll pay anything up to £27,500. And, according to press reports, you'll need to cough up more than £3,000 to rub shoulders very briefly over lunch with national luminaries such as Liam Fox, Chris Grayling or even Theresa May herself.

It is time to see spending on mental health as an investment not a cost
On a recent Question Time there was an excellent debate on the future funding of the NHS and social care. Norman Lamb, the former Care Minister and Lib Dem MP made a passionate plea for greater investment in the NHS and in particular on mental health. Tory MP, Jacob Rees Mogg, unsurprisingly, countered that the UK cannot pay more tax. Even the usually more Conservative Julia Hartley Brewer nodded in agreement when Lamb outlined how little we spend on health as a proportion of GDP, which by the way is less than other European countries including Portugal.

Leaving aside the heated arguments for how this would best work, how about involving those we are talking about in having a needle and thread too ? Whatever the ways we have of mending the safety net, those who need it must be able to understand the letters that they are sent from the officials concerned.
