A bright red poppy in the centre of a dark background. White text above the flower reads: "We will remember them."

This Remembrance Sunday, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

We must never forget them — nor can we forget the veterans and serving personnel who continue to protect our freedom.

On Remembrance Sunday, we come together to honour all who served our country and gave their lives for our freedoms. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

We remember those who fell, and those who came home forever changed by their service.

We just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.

Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into a version of Trump's America. We stopped him.

Our Plan to Super Charge mental health services: -Mental health MOTs at key life points -A dedicated practitioner in every school -Full parity between mental and physical health care -Walk in hubs for children and young people -Triple taxes on harmful social media giants

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

Councillor Kathryn Thomas presented her fireworks motion last night in Full Council. There was cross-party support for the motion with councillors from all parties speaking in support. The aim of the motion is to ensure that fireworks can be enjoyed by all residents, by • Having 'permitted hours' when fireworks are allowed, • Causing less disruption to residents' sleep, • Reducing distress to vulnerable residents, pets and wildlife, • Designation of Fireworks Control Zones, and • Encouraging the use of silent or low-noise alternatives. The Liberal Democrats' motion encourages the responsible use of fireworks and urges Solihull Council to work with retailers, residents, schools and community organisations to ensure that everyone can enjoy fireworks during traditional celebration periods.

The optics are really bad, but it’s important that we hear from the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner or from Dr Shastri-Hurst himself. #Solihull

My council are making our lollipop lady redundant who has been working the same patch for over 20 years. Instead, they are planning to put 2 zebra crossings within 100m of each other. She's heartbroken and it's going to cause traffic chaos. @solihullgreens.bsky.social @solihullld.bsky.social

Until 2000, the Armed Forces had a ban on LGBT personnel, who could be discharged or face criminal prosecution.

Jess Brown-Fuller has won action from the Government to speed up compensation for LGBT veterans who lost their jobs and were stripped of their pensions.

Watch @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk call out the BBC for their failure to hold Nigel Farage to account.

Tying ourselves ever more to fossil fuels would only benefit foreign dictators like Vladimir Putin – which is probably why Farage is so keen on it.

Investing in green energy will cut bills and grow our economy.

Sewage Crisis: Most people in Solihull are blissfully unaware of the damage that sewage dumping is doing to our rivers, waterways and our environment. After all, we are nowhere near the sea and there are no major rivers in Solihull. ~ Councillor Ade Adeyemo.

Today's announcement is a good first step.

Now the government must go further by auto-enrolling eligible children and tackling the cost of uniforms.

Liberal Democrats will hold their feet to the fire.
