Henry Vann and the local Lib Dems have been fighting to protect key services at Bedford Hospital. The Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) is just the latest in a series of reviews of healthcare in the area over the last few years, which have placed constant uncertainty over the future of key local services and cost the taxpayers millions of pounds.

I once led a huge protest against the Lib Dems – but this general election, I'll be voting for them
I felt betrayed by Nick Clegg walking back his promise on tuition fees. But now even Labour's latest tuition fees announcement couldn't make me back Corbyn In the autumn of 2010, over 50,000 students marched through the streets of London to protest against a trebling of tuition fees proposed by the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government - and as the then President of the Cambridge University Students' Union, I led a huge number of them. We were furious, not just at the fee proposals themselves, but because we had once agreed with Nick. We'd agreed with him so much that we'd used our first ever votes for him. Needless to say, that betrayal led to those same voters brutally punishing the Liberal Democrats in the election five years later, with a decisive 30-point swing in the student vote.

The Liberal Democrats have today announced that they will add another £1 billion for mental ill health care through putting a penny on income tax. This could equate to approximately £3 of the party's additional health funding would be spent in South Lincolnshire tackling the "historic injustice" faced by people with mental ill health. Last weekend, Liberal Democrat Leader Tim Farron and Shadow Health Secretary Norman Lamb unveiled a Five Point NHS and Care Recovery Plan to increase funding for health and social care services, including a penny on income tax to provide a £6 billion funding boost.
