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.

Labour 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘴 good game on Europe but it's #LibDems calling for UK-EU Customs Union. #Labour Govt was elected on promise to deliver GROWTH & lower cost of living. No1 thing would be to remove costly Brexit barriers erected by Tories (supported by Reform). Will Labour put money where their mouth is?

Liberalism is all about challenging & dismantling concentrations of power, redistributing this power back into the hands of ordinary people so we can control our own lives. Historically & philosophically, the liberal instinct has been to re-evaluate, reform, and remake systems and institutions...

Liberal Democrats get things done. We don’t do division. We do potholes and police officers, church roofs and clean rivers. We focus on the local issues that matter to you. Vote Liberal Democrat on 7th May.

Less than 24 hours after dropping a candidate list full of cranks and failed Tories, Malcolm Offord and Reform have shown their true colours. Whatever your political beliefs, this hateful bile should be called out for what it is.

Daily Record: "Reform UK refuses to sack candidate who backed Tommy Robinson and called for Muslims to be deported
Malcolm Offord is under pressure over the appointment of Holyrood candidates who have shared extreme opinions. "

We are the party that believes the best in Britain, not the worst. We fight because we know things can get better. And just as in past tough times - Liberals will show the way through.

Ed Speech Graphic that reads:
Things Can Get Better. Not a slogan – a historical truth. The Liberal hope, optimism and reality others won’t say. Britain has been through incredibly tough times in the past – and each time, Liberals have helped show the way through.

Great to see @makeuk.bsky.social backing defence bonds. We need urgent funding to rearm. Despite big talk from Labour and Tories, only the @libdems.org.uk have a plan. Bonds would raise £20bn over two years and allow everyone to invest in our nation's defence. inews.co.uk/news/britons...

Starmer urged to launch WW2-style war bond plan to plug defence £28bn black hole

A defence trade body wants a bond-buying scheme to bolster defence innovations like counter-drone and sub-sea autonomous vehicles

Looking bad for Labour in South London when former Labour mayors of Southwark & Lambeth are voting for us this May. Welcome to all the many former Labour voters who are voting for us now.

The United Kingdom is at its best when we’re true to our values: tolerance, decency, respect for individual freedom and the rule of law. We can't let Nigel Farage throw that all away by turning Britain into Trump’s America. Choose a brighter future with the Liberal Democrats.

The #Conservatives haven't been a party for centrist & moderate voters for a v long time and - despite recent efforts from the likes of Andy Street & Ruth Davidson - Kemi Badenoch has just made it absolutely clear that they will be continuing down the road of being Reform-lite... [1/2] #UKpolitics

Centrist ideas no longer wanted in Conservative party, says Kemi Badenoch | Matt McLaren

I rarely post political content here on LinkedIn, but I very much feel duty bound to share this message with fellow business owners/managers in the United Kingdom. The fact is that the Conservatives ...

Jenrick saying he's "put aside personal ambition" too join Reform is the single most shameless statement I've ever heard. If he "put aside personal ambition" he'd disappear. That's all there is.

More than a dozen Labour MPs defied their party whips & voted with @libdems.org.uk in favour of UK rejoining a #CustomsUnion with EU. As a result, the #LibDems Ten-Minute Rule Bill passed the House of Commons with a majority of one, after the Deputy Speaker cast the deciding vote in its favour.

🚨BREAKING🚨 MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union. The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.

Welcome to our latest London Lib Dem councillor - the former Labour Mayor of Lambeth and councillor for Stockwell East, Tina Valcarcel! She joins former Labour voters who are disappointed with the government and joining us across London everyday

🧵 At tonight’s full council meeting, we have reiterated our commitment to defending the values of modern, diverse and welcoming Sutton against those who seek to divide us. Cllr Barry Lewis opened the debate with a vision for his grandchildren.

This is tragic. The Conservatives let Britain's health & care services fall apart, and the Labour Government is moving far too slowly! As anyone with close family with care needs already knows, we are at crisis point now - and only the Liberal Democrats have a credible plan to rescue care.

Our hospices have been pushed to the brink. Hundreds of beds lie empty because there is not enough funding or staff. Liberal Democrats have a plan to save our hospices.
