Preventing your councillor from deciding local planning applications - a backward step for local democracy https://t.co/29Xa9gP2fh

[Bromley Borough Lib Dems @BromleyLibDems]

We were grateful for a campaign visit from @LibDems Immigration and Asylum spokesperson @WillForster, to support our team in Bromley Town: @graeme_l_casey, @JulieIreland & @samdwebber.
Solid support on the doorsteps and lots signed up to receive our email newsletter. 🔶️🗳🧡

[Ben Maguire MP @BenMaguireMP]

🤝 Great to be out and about on the doorsteps of Bodmin recently with Cllr. Dan Rogerson, chatting to lots of residents about some of the issues they’re facing at the moment (both local & national) that they want me to work on up in Parliament on their behalf.

“That famous ideological warrior, once again, deciding she doesn’t want to talk to anyone who disagrees with her”.

@lewis_goodall asks Liz truss why she’s “slagging off Britain” in Trump’s America, as she takes to the stage to warn the US about the rise of islamism in the UK.

[Anton Georgiou @antongeorgiou_]

My party’s brave opposition to the Iraq War set us apart from others in 2003.

🔶 Brent voters rejected Labour and chose Sarah Teather, because of our principled stance.

In 2026, it’s important to remember that @LibDems have consistently been on the right side of history 🕊️

[Sam Webber @samdwebber]

I received a call from 0116 4930076 at 2pm today asking if I wanted to be a paper candidate for @reformparty_uk in the local elections & I had a similar voicemail a few months ago.
I explained I was already a @BromleyLibDems Councillor so will be standing for the @LibDems! 🗳🔶️

[Micheál - Rust Never Sleeps #3942 @Celtic_Ray]

@novaramedia Yet they were councillors in a local authority that was so utterly weak in facing up to developers who have built block after block of unaffordable flats and delivered nothing but windswept empty promises.

[Sevenoaks Liberal Democrats @SevenoaksLibDem]

No Local Plan = our Green Belt is exposed to speculative developers. The Conservatives have failed to deliver one — and our villages are paying the price.

Steve Maines will fight for a fair, infrastructure-first Local Plan.

[Cllr David Watson @DavidWatsonLD]

Southwark residents see through Labour’s self-congratulatory nonsense.

They’ve had enough of the Administration’s failure to deliver basic services or build more affordable homes.

Liberal Democrats will fix Southwark.

[Ben Maguire MP @BenMaguireMP]

🚨✍️ I’ve written (with @CalumMillerLD) to the Attorney General, to demand the Government publish its legal advice on any potential UK military deployment in the Strait of Hormuz.

The public and Parliament MUST NOT be kept in the dark on decisions.👇

[Ben Maguire MP @BenMaguireMP]

🚨 LIB DEM WIN: The Government has today announced £53m of emergency support for households hit by soaring heating oil prices.

This is welcome news and shows the pressure is having an effect, but I'm concerned because support needs to come NOW - not in April.

[Bromley Borough Lib Dems @BromleyLibDems]

.@LibDems Education, Children & Families spokesperson @munirawilson officially launched our 2026 local election campaign!
Our 5 councillors have a strong record as community champions in Bromley & Beckenham.
We look forward to more colleagues joining them after 7th May. 🧡🗳🔶️

[Sevenoaks Liberal Democrats @SevenoaksLibDem]

Steve Maines has lived in Knockholt for 40 years and served on the Parish Council for 8 of them. He knows our villages — because they're his home. 🏡

Vote Steve on 26 March:

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

There's no doubt now that Reform's vote share is declining. For a period last year they were flatlining. But now they are definitely slumping. Farage's mistakes are having a tangible impact.

[Ben Maguire MP @BenMaguireMP]

⚖️ Today I voted AGAINST the Government’s Courts & Tribunals Bill, because it would erode our right to trial by jury.

Jury trials are a cornerstone of our justice system here in the UK. 🇬🇧

[Ben Maguire MP @BenMaguireMP]

☀️ 📚 Wonderful visit to St Breward Community Primary School this week to see their ‘Nurture Tribe’...

Where children are given the opportunity to connect with nature, enhance their wellbeing, and learn a range of really practical outdoor skills at the same time! 🐞 🐛

[Boden Dudley 🔶 @boden248]

Cahal shall be missed dearly, he was an inspiration to many across Kirklees.

[Munira Wilson 🇺🇦 @munirawilson]

Disappointed that Labour MPs voted against increasing the #ASGSF tonight. We are told tough choices need to be made, but the @educationgovuk spent nearly £50m on ads last year—up £15m in two years. Halving that could restore vital therapeutic support for thousands of children.

[Ben Maguire MP @BenMaguireMP]

🔊 Today I spoke to BBC Radio 5 live about the King's upcoming state visit to the United States. 👑 🇺🇸

We should NOT be rewarding Donald Trump's complete disregard for international law with a state visit, just to try and appease him like a naughty child.
