Donald Trump is doubling down on his reckless trade war, after his last tariff tantrum was ruled illegal. He's a bully and an unreliable ally. We can't have continuity Starmer. Andy Burnham must stand up to Trump.

Even after today's announcement, high street hospitality businesses up and down the country will still be in serious trouble. Andy Burnham should take up our plan to Save our High Streets, with a proper overhaul of business rates, a crackdown on ‘ghost landlords’ and rejuvenating town centres

The Liberal Democrats' plans to boost high streets — VAT cut for hospitality, business rates reform, ghost-landlord crackdown, and an out-of-town levy — shown beside a smiling small-business owner wearing an apron.

I am absolutely delighted that Julia, Hannah, Tim, Dave & Mark will be joining our brilliant Lib Dem team in the House of Lords. They have the right skills, experience & values to help us hold the government to account, deliver the change people need and fix our broken politics.

The rot at FIFA has gone too far. Under Infantino, political greed has completely broken the game we love. We can't just watch from the sidelines anymore, the FA and our European partners need to walk away and build a fair, clean alternative from scratch. It’s time to move on.

"FIFA is really beyond the pale now in terms of corruption." Munira Wilson breaks down why we are calling on the FA and UEFA to withdraw from FIFA, demanding transparency, accountability, and a focus on fans over profit. 👇

After years of Tory and Labour government's dragging their feet, finally the Government will list the IRGC as a terrorist organisation. Liberal Democrats have campaigned consistently on this. We will hold the Government's feet to the fire to ensure it is done.

Calum Miller welcoming the news that the IRGC is to be proscribed as a terrorist group. 

He says:
Finally! The IRGC has been the author of terror plots, abductions and worse on UK soil. It has also terrorised the Iranian people and slaughtered those who stood up for freedom. 

Lib Dems have campaigned consistently for this while Tory and Labour Governments dragged their feet.
