Congratulations to @ALDEParty on a successful Congress in Vienna, the adoption of the Vienna Declaration, and the re-election of President @svenja_hahn and the new bureau.
We look forward to working together to advance freedom, democracy, human rights, and liberal values.
As Chair of @Pridesouthwark thank you to everyone who joined us yday.
Our biggest Pride yet, with 1,100+ registrations. Pride still matters when nearly 200 LGBTQ+ hate crimes were reported last year & too many people still don’t feel safe being themselves.
Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
As the proposer for @LGBTLD#ConversionPratices motion to conference & subsequent policy. I’m delighted the government has finally published its conversion Practices Bill for parliament to put into law that no other LGBTQ+ person is forced to endure horrendous conversion practice
Today, we @LibDems are announcing our plan for a new Growth and Defence Partnership with the EU, to:
✅️ Join the Single Market
✅️ Join a Customs Union
✅️ Boost growth and cut living costs
✅️ Strengthen European defence to keep Britain safe

Absolute carnage at @HeathrowAirport
All train lines closed - some planned, some not. Hundreds waiting for buses. People wandering around lost. Parents crying. Staff overwhelmed, a few trying to help, others avoiding passengers, chatting behind grills in the tube entrance.
Congratulations to our full member party, the @LibDems, on their strong gains across the UK.
These results are a powerful reminder that liberal, democratic, and constructive politics continue to resonate with voters.
What a result in Scotland! I am delighted for Alex Cole-Hamilton and our incredible Scottish team. We have shown that the Liberal Democrats are back in Holyrood. We are ready to work for Scotland and deliver the real change voters deserve.
Yesterday the European Parliament voted on its fundamental rights report, and the message on conversion practices was unambiguous: they must be banned. The report, adopted by 328 votes in favour, condemns conversion practices, calls out backsliding on LGBTQI+ equality across Europe, and demands the European Commission acts.
Nearly a quarter of LGBTQI+ people in the EU have experienced some form of conversion practice. The UN classifies them as torture. They have no medical basis. They cause lasting harm. And they are still happening.
@RenewEurope MEPs have been at the centre of this push, in the LIBE committee and on the floor, making the case that fundamental rights are not optional and that the Commission cannot keep delaying on the over one million citizens who signed the ECI demanding a binding ban.
The Commission now has until 18 May to formally respond to that citizens' initiative. Parliament has made its position clear. The ball is firmly in the Commission's court.
😡 Trumpflation is ballooning the cost of living - yet it’s been cheered on by Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage.
🔶 We Lib Dems are renewing our calls on the government to slash fuel prices, train and bus fares and EV street charging costs too.
Trump, Putin, Farage… your boy took a hell of a beating.
Congratulations to the people of Hungary for showing that populist extremists can be defeated – even despite Donald Trump’s best efforts.
As we mark International Women's Day, Baroness @SalBrinton, Chair of the Liberal International Human Rights Committee, shares a video message for “Women Leading for Justice and Equality.”
