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.

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. "
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.
The UK Government should not be sending HM The King on a state visit to Trump's White House. Please sign this petition calling on the Prime Minister to cancel the visit. #Trump #King #IranWar

TEXT: New mortgages up by ÂŁ800 a year amid 'Trumpflation' from Iran War IMAGE: Kemi and Nigel Farage Laughing in front of a house.
Reform and the Conservatives are happy to cheer on Trump’s illegal Iran war that's sending prices, bills and mortgages soaring.
Despite the massive and entirely foreseeable impact on everyone right here in Enfield paying energy bills, for petrol, or applying for a mortgage; both Reform UK and the Conservatives have been cheerleaders for Trump's illegal and ill-conceived war from the start.
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.
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.
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 ÂŁ20bn over two years and allow everyone to invest in our nation's defence.

@jamesmaccleary.bsky.social gives us the low-down on his Spring Conference 2026 speech and the Lib Dem plan to rearm Britain and rebuild our alliances.
[3/3]... I sincerely hope those who consume meat will think very carefully about where they eat given this betrayal of animal welfare by leading UK restaurant chains!

... They are created by industry to grow so fast and so big that their legs literally buckle under their own weight. So, by design, we've created an animal that lives almost its entire life in pain and suffering. And all in the name of cost-cutting! ... [2/3]
This is disgusting but not surprising. All animals deserve quality of life, especially those who are sacrificed to satiate humans' taste for them.
But 'franken-chickens' - as the nickname suggests - are unnatural abominations of nature... [1/3]

Very disappointing judgment from the UK Supreme Court. I maintain that not only is 'soya milk' a perfectly reasonable description but is quite obviously a clearer and much more easily understood one than 'non-fermented soy-based high protein plant drink'!

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.
One reason I've been so bearish on the Tories over the past few years is I don't see a route out for them. They can't beat Reform on the right and they've lost their liberal vote.
I just signed the campaign calling to save our swifts, by calling for the UK Government to follow Scotland's lead and make it the law for all new houses to be built with "swift bricks" - safe places for these birds to nest. Will you join me? 38d.gs/sb_ps_ot

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.
Congrats to the Lib Dems for their successful local elections campaign.
[2/2]... So if you care more about reviving the economy than chasing ideological agenda that makes us poorer (remember Brexit!) & if you want UK that proactively works with closest neighbours on defence & security whilst maintaining compassion & humanity, join me in backing @libdems.org.uk
#LibDems
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]

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.
As Robert Jenrick jumps ship, Reform’s “new politics” looks more like a spin cycle for the same people behind 14 years of decline.
This will hopefully give people some reassurance that there is at least one group of UK politicians & political activists standing up for decency and the British values of tolerance & respect for neighbours, even in the face of the populists.
If you have any doubt / confusion about what @libdems.org.uk stand for in this age of divisiveness & anger, watch this short 3 minute video. It's mostly made up of what other people, not Lib Dems, are saying about @eddavey.libdems.org.uk and his party...

#LibDems #NewYear
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.
I've just written to local MP for #WinchmoreHill Kate Osamor asking her to support the backbench motion on reducing noise disruption on domestic fireworks up for debate on Wednesday - posting my email to Ms Osamor on Nextdoor here...

An image depicting a scene from Star Trek: The Next Generation, specifically Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the senior officers of the USS Enterprise-D as they meet in the Observation Lounge adjacent to the Bridge. Above this image a message reads as follows: At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes.
