Daisy Cooper

Spokesperson for Education

Delighted to announce that @libdemdaisy will take on the education brief for @LibDems. Her drive and determination will keep the Tories accountable for their failings in our schools. Daisy will hold the PM to his words that when it comes to education the “buck stops with me.”

My priorities are to:
✅ campaign to extend #FreeSchoolMeals and end #HolidayHunger
✅ campaign to sort out #SEND
✅ ensure Govt plans give children & young people a safe & supportive return to education this Autumn #schoolsreopening 2/2

Wendy Chamberlain

Chief Whip and Spokesperson for Scotland, Wales and Work & Pensions

.@wendychambLD, who has been a powerful force since becoming an MP will be our new Chief Whip. Wendy will also take on the Scotland and Wales brief and fight for social justice as our Work and Penions spokesperson.

— Ed Davey MP 🔶🇪🇺 (@EdwardJDavey) September 1, 2020

Hoping that there will be more call for my HR skills than my policing ones...
Seriously though, it's an important role - not just about how MPs vote. There's a great team of people here supporting and I'm committed to making @LibDems a great employer and Parliament a safe place

— Wendy Chamberlain MP 🔶️ (@wendychambLD) September 2, 2020

Finally, DWP is a new portfolio for me, but #COVID19 and issues with Universal Credit and other benefits and the devastating impact they can have are sadly not. I'll be working hard to raise and highlight injustices.

— Wendy Chamberlain MP 🔶️ (@wendychambLD) September 2, 2020

Jamie Stone

Spokesperson for Defence and Digital, Culture, Media & Sport

The inimitable @Jamie4North will keep the govt honest when it comes to looking after our troops and shine a light on the mental health of veterans as our Defence spokesperson. He will also look after the Digital, Culture, Media and sport brief.

— Ed Davey MP 🔶🇪🇺 (@EdwardJDavey) September 1, 2020

Thrilled about DCMS. Will wave the flag for broadband rollou, support for the arts and entertainment industry (looking at you @RishiSunak), and ways to make social media a nicer place...

As for sport, you might as well know now that my bias is @RossCounty!
