Fix Britain's Trade

Liberal Democrats want to turbocharge our economy by forming a Customs Union with the EU, tearing down the trade barriers and red tape holding us back.

People across the country are turning to the Liberal Democrats as the only party that can stop Reform and elect strong local community champions. We focus on church roofs, sewage and the cost of living, not copying the Trump playbook of divisive populism.

Behind him is a screen displaying the Liberal Democrats logo. 

Below the image is a Guardian-style graphic with the headline: “Could Lib Dems become the biggest party in English local government?” and the subheading says: The Lib Demś cost of living policies and criticism of Trump could gain them ground.

US Senator Amy Klobuchar, "What’s the difference between Greenland and Donald Trump? Greenland is not for sale" "For any Republican Trump administration person out there that want to throw eggs at me as a result of that joke, you can't, they're too expensive"

I suspected that the Greenland situation was prompted by Putin as a way to get Trump to destroy NATO. This report shows Putin working this strategy in Trump’s first term and getting him to disengage from Ukraine then - before the invasion!

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Our investigation finds that Trump's actions in Venezuela and Greenland are the product of a long-running Russian influence campaign that began during his first term. Read + share the complete report. america2.news/the-russian-...

Starmer once again says there will be no return to free movement of people Please repost if you demand the restoration of the Freedom of Movement that was robbed from us by foreign interference and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

Europe needs to face reality No one is coming to help us when Putin invades the first NATO country The US may even assist Putin A tiny percentage increase in defence spending by some remote future date is not going to deter Putin We are signalling to him that we are not serious Time to wake up

Brexit has cost each and every one of us £3,700 a year. But instead of solving the problem, Labour are using Brexit as an excuse to raise your taxes. My message ahead of the Budget: Stop blaming Brexit and start fixing it!

I hope the BBC will challenge Nigel Farage today over the economic damage caused by the Brexit he championed. He needs to be held to account for the damage he's done instead of always being given an easy ride.
