Resetting our relationship with Europe is the fastest way to boost growth. It's time to cut red tape, back small businesses, and join the Single Market and Customs Union. @libdemdaisy.bsky.social
Britain can't wait for an Autumn Budget. The government must drop their red lines, get round the table with our European neighbours to kickstart our economy before it's too late.
From pensioners left bedbound to life savings being spent on dementia care, our system better resembles the 1920s than the 2020s. Andy Burnham must work with local government and the NHS to finally end the social care crisis.
Andrew Harper's story is heartbreaking, and Debbie Adlam's courage is inspiring. We should never have reached this point. Fixing probation and cutting reoffending should have come first so no more families have to endure this pain. @laylamoran.bsky.social
This is a stark warning: the climate emergency is here, yet the Government moves at a snail’s pace. It's time for a national strategy: funding cool hubs for vulnerable groups, mandating cooling and ventilation in new homes, supporting drought-affected farmers and heat-proofing NHS facilities.
Questions about money will rightly go on for years until Farage faces the consequences of his actions.
It is time to invest homegrown, clean energy and cut reliance on imported gas, to boost energy security and deliver cheaper, more stable bills for households.
Ed Davey has cared for his mother, his grandmother, and now his son. As cross-party talks on social care begin, he argues it can be fixed by finally putting the millions of unpaid family carers at the heart of any deal.
✅ Long queues ✅ Faulty tech ✅ Missed flights The EU’s Entry/Exit System is causing chaos at passport control. We’re calling to suspend it. Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, @CalumMillerLD.bsky.social, explains why 👆
The scenes of wildfires across the UK and Europe are deeply worrying. It's clear this problem isn't going away. All political parties in our country need to understand this now.
Gianni Infantino has dragged football's reputation through the mud. Now he's selling off FIFA's rotting husk to the highest bidder. It's time to give Infantino the red card and build a new global footballing body built on accountability and transparency that puts fans first.
I feel hopeful about the talks today on fixing our broken care system but this is just the beginning. A solution is desperately needed. I will always stand up for family carers through this process.
'If we don't get social care right there are profound costs for to the rest of the economy' @AlisonEBennett.bsky.social
After 22 failed attempts to sort the social care crisis. The 23rd must now deliver. It's time to put family carers first, guarantee free personal care, and end catastrophic care costs. @AlisonEBennett.bsky.social
Nothing beats a Jet2Holiday...except a smooth border process. Andy Burnham needs to pick up the phone to each and every European leader - and persuade them, collectively, to suspend EES and save the British summer holiday. @CalumMillerLD.bsky.social
We’re already spending £35bn a year on a broken social care system. All political parties should recognise the urgent need to fix the social care crisis. @LaylaMoran.bsky.social
These statistics reveal an alarming crisis in maternity, with far too many midwives burning out early in their career and in their training. Patients are paying the price, and mothers are left with no alternative but to give birth on understaffed and unsafe wards.
Holidaymakers should not be punished by a bungled, malfunctioning border system that is completely out of their control. Andy Burnham needs to pick up the phone to European leaders – and persuade them to suspend the EES until at least September

People have faced a grueling year, yet the simple pleasure of a summer holiday is being pushed out of reach by runaway costs and systemic travel chaos. By lowering hidden fees, curbing big tech profiteering, and sorting out the chaos at our borders, we can make travel affordable and stress-free.
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
Another prime minister crowned, a UK-EU summit delayed... and zero solutions for the real issues facing the UK. Our Europe spokesperson @AlPinkerton.bsky.social explains how businesses, farmers and households are paying the price.
Britain needs a bold economic vision: an early budget, a credible growth plan, and real support for households and businesses.
A new job, a new EdStone? Here are six key commitments for Miliband as Foreign Secretary
The cost-of-living crisis is an emergency. Bring forward the Budget and deliver real savings, not small political gestures.
Nothing from Burnham on social care, on Europe, or on protecting our precious natural environment. That needs to come very soon – Britain can't wait much longer.
Andy Burnham has a very short window to turn this government around, end the chaos and build trust with communities the whole length and breadth of the UK.
The social care crisis is a catastrophe for families, for the NHS and for local services. Liberal Democrats stand ready to work across party lines to tackle this existential crisis. For carers and for our country. Nothing matters more.
Our Coastguard Rescue Officers give so much to keep our communities safe. It's time their pay reflected the value of their service. @amcarmichaelmp.bsky.social
