This is the official account of the South Dorset Liberal Democrats.
Liberal Democrats will put £350 back in your pocket. Swipe to see how.
We've changed our banner from the Climate stripes to reflect the beauty of the area we live in. Of course, the climate still matters - that is why the Lib Dem led council declared a climate emergency and work so hard to reflect that in all that they do. But we can still enjoy the beauty of the area
You can believe Nigel Farage that he and his party are not racist if you wish. Maybe he wants the best for everyone, no matter their origins. But if so something is badly wrong inside the party and that suggests handing power to them would be unwise. www.instagram.com/reel/DehXUEm...

It would be quite nice if Nigel could get his facts straight. Your options are - - he made a mistake because he did not bother to find out the truth - he knows what he says is wrong and he is wilfully misleading people You choose! www.instagram.com/reel/DeHmQWC...

In the end Conservative cuts always come back to bite YOU. Claiming they will build more prison places is just another “let’s blame somebody” tactic by implication. In truth the blame for worse services, polluted rivers, asylum backlog etc lies with them!! www.instagram.com/reel/DeFBKBe...

❗️Important point by our youth coordinator Livvy Gibbs: FPTP is the only system that could allow an extreme government take 100% of the power on under 30% of the vote, putting our rights and freedoms at risk. PR would not just make our democracy healthier now, but also help safeguard its future.
Likewise our Lib Dem Hampshire MP Dr Danny Chambers. The answer to the balaclava thugs is visible support for the RNLI and cash donations to a great charity that is TRULY an unique British Institution and world leader.
Good to see our Lib Dem Mayoral Candidate for Hampshire actively supporting the RNLI.
Mr Tice aspires to be in government? Yet he thinks it OK to brush aside the manhandling , hair pulling and hitting with a crutch of a heckler at the Reform conference - and also OK to dismiss an action that has, by all appearances, caused risk to life and arrest. In government - setting our laws??
This contains great potential for Lib Dems - we only need to swing a few seats and our position would be greatly strengthened - no Labour Government could operate without us. And we would, likely, have shrunk the Tories & perhaps even the Greens. Get campaigning now! news.sky.com/story/poll-p...
Poll projects result if election held tomorrow
An exclusive YouGov mega poll for Sky News and The Times reveals Andy Burnham is seeing a bounce, but not enough to win a majority.

Further evidence of the growing momentum for re-joining the EU (the long-standing Lib Dem position!!) .... www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli... When you meet the residual "leavers" - take the time to explain kindly that changing your mind is a normal, human thing to do when you learn new facts.
All but four constituencies would support reversing Brexit and rejoining the EU
New in-depth polling finds 35 per cent of voters would choose EU membership as their preferred policy option – with just 11 per cent wanting looser ties with the bloc

Andy Burnham has just posted this. Let us hope he means it, for this IS what British politics needs.
The evidence mounts that a pro-Europe stance can defeat Reform - but if Labour adopt it under FPTP it could return another unassailable majority on a minority of votes! So vote for those who have consistently argued for this AND get a balanced parliament! www.independent.co.uk/voices/this-...
This is the only way that Andy Burnham can beat Nigel Farage
Our polling shows that campaigning to go back into Europe is the only way to stop the electoral map turning turquoise, says Best for Britain CEO Naomi Smith

This afternoon we have head two leading labour figures making powerful policy statements.. - Ed Milliband addressing Labour Conference on the necessity of being closer to Europe - Andy Burnham on LBC arguing (again!) for investing properly in social care Thanks for endorsing Lib Dem policies!!
🚨 Ed Miliband: "Europe is not just our geography, but so much more. "And on economics, on defence, on security, I say to this conference: our future lies in a stronger, deeper partnership with the European Union."
“AndyBurnham suggests social care reform would come after 2029, saying voters will be asked to back it at election. “ The Guardian, 27 September ‘26. Thank you Andy - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Lib Dem’s have been arguing for drastic changes to improve social care for years.
Over the last 7 weeks from August 7th to Sept 25th the Liberal Democrats are the only party to make substantial gains in local council by-elections, whilst holding all of their seats that were up for re-election. 🔶 Lib Dems: Held: 4/4 Gained: 5 Lost: 0 Net gain: +5 #LibDems
Good to see Labour taking the climate crisis seriously and openly. But always remember that Reform and the Tories want to roll back programmes designed to address it. Voting for them damages your children and grandchildren. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is what "radical" looks like. Not pointing the finger of blame at immigrants to inflame and divide. Will the BBC discuss it at all, let alone at length??? No prizes for guessing the answer! liberalactionuk.blogspot.com/2026/09/the-...

Let’s spread some facts about Lib Dem success and strength. We can and will beat Reform and those Tories who have understandable doubts about their gallop to the right can help by siding with us. www.facebook.com/share/v/1DfM...

This is how Farage is using Reform’s millions to influence opinion in a way he will argue is immune from political donation rules.
Parties that campaign on British sovereignty are taking large sums from donors abroad. William Wallace said the Representation of the People Bill will not close every loophole, but Lib Dems will push for changes to limit donations and campaign spending.
German elections contain a lesson for us - particularly if we wish to avoid an extreme right wing (on any other extreme) government. It's worth noting that Reform, who had PR in their 2024 manifesto, have now gone very silent on the topic! electoral-reform.org.uk/first-past-t...
First Past the Post would have given the AfD nearly every seat in Saxony-Anhalt
There has been much coverage in recent days of the outcome of the state election in Saxony-Anhalt, which lies in eastern Germany. It is unusual for regional elections in other countries

We have to treat mental health with the same seriousness we treat physical health. And that starts with funding. While mental health services receive such meagre funding, vulnerable people and children will be left on waiting lists. We need fairer funding to get this right.
