Today, International Women’s Day, Liberal Democrats are demanding that the Government do more to improve the lives of women and girls across the UK and address the gendered inequalities that persist throughout society.

Responding to a new YouGov survey for Young Women's Trust that 30% of employers have not tried to reduce their gender pay gap, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Manchester April Preston said:

Manchester's care homes have been ranked worst in the country, with nearly half (44%) being rated 'Inadequate' or 'Requires Improvement', an Independent Age report has found.

6,518 people were found guilty of rough sleeping under the Vagrancy Act (1824) across England and Wales between 2014 and 2017, the Liberal Democrats have revealed.

Construction giants Lendlease have lost a landmark battle over who should foot a massive £5m cladding bill in two of Manchester's Green Quarter tower blocks.

The Liberal Democrats have today warned that Manchester is in the midst of a "dangerous postcode lottery" as official figures reveal more than half the city has not been offered a health check in the last five years.

The Liberal Democrats have said that it is no surprise that more homeless people died in Manchester than anywhere else in England and Wales, because the local authority "simply doesn't care" in what has been described as a "truly embarrassing day" for the city.

Tenants Union UK has slammed Manchester Council's Homeless Tax plans as "utterly cruel" and "something from the Victorian era".

The tax is currently in a Public Consultation phase, which means you get to have your say. Manchester Lib Dem Leader, John Leech, has written the below letter opposing the policy.
