We have a by-election in Brecon and Radnorshire!

The current MP, a hard Tory Brexiter, has been overwhelmingly recalled by his constituents.

Brecon and Radnorshire is a seat that we held until 2015, and we hold the Welsh Assembly Member seat.

In the UK currently seven million people are carers. That is one in ten people and the figure is only rising as demographics change and people live longer with more disabilities and illnesses.

Three in five of us will be carers at one point or another in our lives.

That is why it is so important this week, Carers Week, that we understand and recognise the contribution carers make to society.

Tonight, Chuka Umunna announced that he has joined the Liberal Democrats.
