A tweet from Ed Davey which reads: News of a ceasefire deal in Gaza brings real hope.

The UK and our allies must do all we can to get the hostages home, get aid in to starving people, and finally end this horrific violence.

This must be the first step towards a two-state solution and a lasting peace.

"The two-state solution is the path to peace. Two nations living side by side in security and dignity. Excluding Palestinians from the process seems nonsensical."

No one should be stuck in the awful position of waiting months on end for mental health services.

It's time to supercharge mental health care in this country.

I think Digital ID cards could well become Starmer’s Poll Tax.

Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID. That’s not the kind of country we want to be.

Liberal Democrats have always stood up to defend civil liberties against government overreach.

We will fight tooth and nail to oppose these plans too.

Keir Starmer wants to force everyone to have a digital ID.

But the Liberal Democrats say that’s not the kind of country we should be. Instead, the government should focus on fixing real problems like the NHS and social care.

The truth is when you look at Elon Musk you've got to follow the money.

He doesn’t care about the British people or our country.

Text reading 'Policy Passed: Backing Youth Work to Build Communities' on an image of young people playing in a field

Youth work changes lives and makes a real difference in communities across the UK.

It gives young people a place to belong, build skills, and believe in themselves.

But over the last decade, we’ve seen too many youth centres close their doors and youth workers leave.

Across the country, people are being held back not by a lack of potential, but by a lack of access to the training they need to succeed.

From care homes to construction sites, clean energy to HGV driving, employers are facing critical skills shortages.

Ed Davey banging the drum for Britain.

Liberal Democrats are the only party standing up for Britain as a decent and caring country and taking on the divisive politics of Nigel Farage and the Conservatives.

Text reading 'Policy Passed: Don’t Nix Care: Protecting our Hospices on a image of a sick man in a hospital bed.

Hospices provide compassionate end of life care for hundreds of thousands of people each year, while easing pressure on overstretched NHS hospitals.

Yet years of underfunding and rising costs have left many at breaking point – with 7 in 10 warning they may have to cut services.

Our flag does not belong to one creed or to one race. It belongs to one people, the British people.

We will not let our flag be used to intimidate.

Photo of Ed Davey with the text of a quote: "At a time of such instability and uncertainty, it is our values that must prevail. 
Decency. Compassion. Community. Respect for the rule of law. Values that have always been at the heart of our party. 
Our party celebrates Britain’s diversity as a great strength.
Our party knows that our country thrives when it is open and outward-looking."

Now more than ever, we must stand up for core liberal values—equality, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

Pay back our £22k - Durham Liberal Democrats

'I have campaigned for the Reform Party's millionaire backers to pay for the £23,000 of council taxpayers' money they have wasted on this by-election due to their own incompetence nominating an ineligible candidate,' Terry added. www.durhamlibdems.org.uk/reform
