Brexit is costing us £90bn a year. That’s why we are calling for a bold new deal with Europe to boost growth, create jobs and keep our country safe. It’s the first step towards giving our children a better future, fixing the cost of living and getting our country back on track.

As we mark #LearningDisabilityWeek, I think this is the only Lords question on the issue. More data is welcome, but it won't stop learning disability budgets being raided to cover overspends elsewhere. Ring-fenced budgets are urgently required to protect these services.

It looks as though Vladimir Putin may have ordered an arson attack against the British Prime Minister last year. That is an incredibly serious escalation and shows why we must redouble our efforts with Ukraine and the rest of Europe to resist and deter Putin’s aggression.Russia was behind arson attacks targeting PM, BBC reveals bbc.in/4ewFcvw
