Today, on Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust, and the millions of others killed under Nazi persecution.

We honour survivors and renew our commitment to a country where all can live, worship and gather in safety.

Watch @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk's First PMQ vs Last PMQ of 2025.

Sadly, social care still remains an afterthought for this government, in 2026 this must change to fix our NHS.

Torquay making the headlines today but sadly not for the right reasons

Perhaps it’s time for the BNC to notice and give the @libdems.org.uk equal coverage

The latest departure from Reform, Karen Knight, means Reform is no longer the largest party on Cornwall Council.

It would be nice if Nick Robinson on Radio 4’s Today program gave the same scrutiny to Nigel Farage as he’s given to Ed Davey of the @libdems.org.uk

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right…
What a grim betrayal of our democracy.

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.

Guardian headline — “Government considering compensation for victims of carer’s allowance scandal” by Patrick Butler, Social policy editor, published Sun 14 Sep 2025.

The government must give the victims of this appalling scandal the compensation they deserve. It would be a milestone for carers across the country, and a victory for all those who have campaigned tirelessly for justice.

My amazing guide dog Jennie is the Westminster Dog of the Year! I couldn't be more proud of her. She is so much more than a guide dog; she's a good friend and my constant companion! She deserves all the treats and cuddles in the world! Thank you to everyone that voted! 🐾🏆

@libdems.org.uk wade in on the demand for fair coverage. But it’s not just about the BBC! all our PSBs are overplatforming. We need fair coverage now. @greenparty.org.uk @snp.org @plaidcymru.bsky.social should also join campaign for fair coverage of all our parties. Our petition nearly 17k sigs

This week Nigel Farage went to America to badmouth Britain, even comparing our country to North Korea.

He’d rather cosy up to his MAGA buddy mates than fix problems here at home.

A figure showing the over platforming of reform

A whole host of blatant puff pieces tonight on broadcast media for REFORM. Have we become a one party state? Keep signing the petition and passing it on, we need new rules to ensure plurality and fair coverage. 14k signatures are rising. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings Exclusive: Reform leader’s use of personal services firm is a practice criticised across the political spectrum

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties”

@stevedarlingmp.bsky.social and I visited Eaton’s Patisserie in the #Barton with #Watcombe Ward in #Torquay. A successful business but it was useful to learn some of the challenges that they are facing #boosttorbay #torbaybusiness #torbayhour

Good to be at the Torbay Business Forum Business Breakfast- and to hear from Torquay United #boosttorbay #torbaybusiness #torbayhour

Top private SEND providers are raking in millions while families fight to receive basic support.

We are demanding a profit cap to stop this exploitation and put funding back into the SEND system, where it belongs.

Today Reform banned the pride flag, the NHS flag and the White Ribbon flag (end violence against women and girls) from being flown at county hall.

A needlessly sad day for Lancashire…but those of us who fight their toxic politics will never stop until they are out of power in our county.

🚪 Listening on the Doorsteps in Crown Hill Park

It was a pleasure to be out in Crown Hill Park, Torquay on Thursday evening alongside a dedicated team of volunteers. We had some really engaging conversations on the doorstep, and I’m grateful to residents who took the time to share their views.

A photo of Ed Davey hanging out with a disabled child. The graphic says: A new national body to end SEND funding postcode lottery.

The SEND system urgently needs fixing, but Ministers mustn't use that as an excuse to balance the books on the backs of disabled children.

The government cannot continue to ignore the voices of SEND children and their families.
We urgently need a new National Body for SEND.

It was great to be at another great #TorbayPride today, and a real privilege to open proceedings with local MP Steve Darling

"Several Lib Dem figures told PoliticsHome that there have been informal discussions with Tory MPs on the 'left' of their party who are uneasy with shifting further to the right to combat the threat of Nigel Farage's Reform UK."

It was good to be out in #Brixham campaigning in the Town Council by-election this morning in support of the LibDem candidate Michael Skilton #boosttorbay #torbayhour
