"In some areas, First Past the Post could mean MPs getting elected on as little as 25% or 30% of the vote.
That is not sustainable for British politics, and it is time for Proportional Representation." 💯💯💯

Liberal Democrats are calling for the Government to halt the award of public contracts to Palantir, including the Ministry of Defence. A Trump aligned tech giant should be allowed no where near our national security infrastructure.- Helen Morgan
Palantir should be nowhere near our NHS.
The government should be setting out its plan for removing it from our health service as soon as possible.

UK currently generating 112% of its electricity demand (with the extra 12% being transferred or stored)
Gas is generating < 12%
So UK is currently meeting 100% of its electricity needs via renewables

I came into politics to change things for my local community.
There are really good people who may want to stand as councillors and MPs who are deterred by the tone of debate.
We need to change some of the ways in which we engage in politics, without diminishing anyone else.

On this day in 2014, the first same-sex marriages took place following their legalisation in England and Wales.
Thank you, Lynne Featherstone and everyone who campaigned for it.

The @libdems.org.uk are challenging the government:
🔶Put a cap on political donations.
🔶Review at what level the cap should be set.
🔶Restrict donations made by foreign nationals through UK companies.

Oh - the irony!!

University of Oxford : maximising oil and gas extraction here would only save UK households up to £82 (€95) per year. A UK fully powered by renewable energy, would save households up to £441 (€510) a year on energy bills.

Brexit has likely done more economic damage than feared.
Recent evidence suggests the economic cost of Brexit may be approaching twice the 4% impact assumed by the OBR
Polls flattering you: gospel truth.
Polls not flattering you: conspiracy.
Farage takes aim at YouGov – but the numbers from multiple polling orgs tell their own story about Reform's waning support.
Did you say peach?
No matter where you live you can use your peach-coloured regional ballot to elect a hard working Lib Dem MSP.
