Young people who make mistakes when they move out can often return to the family home. Care experienced young people deserve the same rights.

Years overdue but if this is accurate then it is excellent news
Richard Gadsden@po8crg.gadsden.online · 6mo agoI see that Chris Rennard seems to have lost the whip as an indirect effect of the Mandelson saga. Oh no, what a pity, never mind.
A slide from the draft Scottish Budget papers which shows exactly why local government is struggling, and will continue to struggle, under the SNP.
A system that diminishes the rights of people fleeing persecution isn't just impractical, it's a failure of our common humanity. Vital that once asylum seekers are granted refugee status, they are able to build their lives with certainty about their future & a sense of welcome.
‘Perpetual limbo and alienation’: UK Government’s proposals on asylum policy

An obvious attempt to undemocratically derail a bill which has already faced more scrutiny than any other private member’s bill in recent history. This is a compassionate, popular reform that the public overwhelmingly supports. Lords should be careful not to undermine the will of the Parliament.

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.
Most importantly, every Councillor in the Chamber set politics aside, and united in not only backing Councillor @euandavidson.bsky.social's calls to tackle antisemitism, but helped enhance some of the asks on how it's reported back - to which we're very grateful. 2/2
😍 Great .. @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social !! 🙋 Next, please, connect South to #UnionCanal & N over 🚆 to #RoseburnPath @edi.bike @edinreporter.bsky.social @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social @chasbooth.bsky.social @euandavidson.bsky.social @lesleymacinnessnp.bsky.social @thecockburn.bsky.social @sw20.info
The City of Edinburgh Council@edinburghcouncil.bsky.social · 10mo ago👏 So proud of our Roseburn to Union Canal Link team for their win at the National Transport Awards 2025: Exemplary Approach to Active Travel and Public Space. Such a fantastic, new connection from Roseburn over to Fountain Park and a great outdoor space for the whole community to enjoy.
Lots of fun at the Balgreen Mural opening. Brilliant to see this community led project finally coming to fruition
Delighted that the @libdems.org.uk showed yet again that we reject the assault on trans people’s rights promoted by the small anti trans group in the party. #ldconf
This is ... not what the Malicious Communications act is meant to be about. This is (in my non-legal view) deliberate wrongful arrest to get them off the street for the immediate next day or so.
Reminder that the Lib Dems have continually campaigned to: 👩👩👦👦 Scrap the Two child Benefit Cap 🧓Keep Triple Lock Pension ❄️ Keep Winter Fuel Payments 🇪🇺 Closer ties with EU 🗳Proportional Representation 💦 💩 Clean up waterways 🌎 Net Zero 🇵🇸 Ceasefire in Gaza/ 🇺🇸 Stand up to Trump #LibDems 🔶🔶🔶🔶
Mass starvation in Gaza and over 1,000 Palestinians killed while seeking aid since May. The government says the situation is intolerable yet they continue to tolerate it. The UK needs to stop all arms exports to the Israeli Government - today.
Liberal Democrat Women have worked closely with Christine Jardine MP for many years and we are incredibly grateful to have her as our Honorary President.
Thank you Christine for all your wonderful work as our Women and Equalities Spokesperson and for your support last night ⭐️
Christine Jardine@cajardinemp.bsky.social · last yr.There has been a lot of speculation over the past 24 hours regarding my removal as the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Women and Equalities and Scotland. I can now confirm I have been removed from that position, and have shared my response below.
I've never been prouder to work for @cajardinemp.bsky.social than in the last 24 hours. Defending the most vulnerable should be Liberalism 101.

The Government should stop tying themselves in endless knots and put this bill out of its misery.
This is really awful. Peter was a hero
Dani Garavelli@danigaravelli.bsky.social · last yr.Peter Krykant kept the lives being lost to drugs in the public eye & shamed the Scottish gov into action. His van prevented overdoses & and continues to so as, without it, The Thistle wouldn’t exist. It was a privilege to know him. I hope he’s at peace. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/peter-k...
100 MPs have now signed NC20 to give women in England and Wales the human right women in Northern Ireland have to a safe and legal abortion. Swipe to see if your MP is one of them — and what to do if they aren’t! Here’s the petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...
This is the attitude of the SNP to our Education staff laid bare. Utter contempt.
Scottish Teachers for Permanence@teachers4perm.bsky.social · last yr.This is what contempt for Scotland’s teachers looks like. A full Holyrood debate on the crisis in teaching — insecure contracts, staff shortages, burnout. The government benches? Empty. If this is leadership, every teacher has the right to ask: do they even care?
Abortion laws exist not because medical technology can’t do amazing things, but because tragedy can be part of anyone’s parenting journey. Stand with those who need us to fight for their rights most when their world is crumbling- join us protecting safe abortion access as a human right.
