UKIP received "assurances" from Kate Hoey's campaign before standing aside in Vauxhall, it has been revealed.

Labour's sitting MP has in the past insisted she cannot control what UKIP does when asked about the hard right party's decision not to put forward a candidate to run against her.

The Liberal Democrats successfully fought off a Tory rebellion in one of their last acts in government in 2015 to ensure a 0.7% commitment to international development spending.

And the party proudly continues that policy, renewing its spending commitment in its 2017 election manifesto.

The Liberal Democrats have announced plans to address the housing shortage in Vauxhall and build more affordable homes.

In 2016 there were 18,792 families in Lambeth on a waiting list for council homes, up from 17,076 the year before.

The Liberal Democrats have showed their commitment to refugees with a promise to welcome 50,000 Syrian refugees over the next five years.
