We’re making a stand in Newport. Planning is out of control and residents are suffering as a result. Join our campaign today: Homes not HMOs.

Remembering Ed Townsend today, who died six years ago. We're out campaigning for a good result, doing what he would do best - leafletting, door-knocking, getting us out working. His family and friends may be subdued today, but we'll still be out. Thanks for the best wishes today.

Every so often in politics there is something that makes you laugh so much at the sheer audacity.

[Rt Hon Nadine Dorries @NadineDorries]

The man who wants to one day be Prime Minister cannot behave like this. He has a responsibility to be open, honest and transparent with the public. #Beergate

[Newport Lib Dems🔶 @NASLibDems]

@MichelleL87_ It’s a tricky balance between knocking too much or too little. If you drop us your address we are out and about tomorrow and happy to call. We don’t want to miss anyone who is interested!

[Newport Lib Dems🔶 @NASLibDems]

@MichelleL87_ Speak to, not peak to! D’oh!

[Newport Lib Dems🔶 @NASLibDems]

@MichelleL87_ Hi Michelle, it may be that someone has tried before and got no answer and so they’re following a list of people to peak to. If you DM us, we can ask someone to call round before Thursday. :)

Is this the most festooned Lib Dem candidate house? Our Maindee candidate, Nurul, is definitely making it clear who he’s standing for! #NewportNeedsChange

[Newport Lib Dems🔶 @NASLibDems]

It's the final Saturday in the campaign. In Newport it's time for a change. Over fifty years of Labour in charge, and a city that feels on its last legs. We need a new vision that isn't stuck in the past.

#NewportNeedsChange

[Newport Lib Dems🔶 @NASLibDems]

Better scrutiny means better decisions, means a better city. We want more questions and challenge to our leaders, and we want fair elections where votes matter in our city. No more hiding from transparency. #NewportNeedsChange

[Newport Lib Dems🔶 @NASLibDems]

The growth of inappropriate, overcrowded, unsupported large-scale HMOs in Newport is a problem. Our planning system doesn't work, but locally there's things we can do that aren't being done.

Yes, we need housing. But not like this. On May 5th, vote Lib Dem.

@michael_enea @southwalesargus We might actually agree with you on this one, Mike. We don’t want comments closed but the comments against local parties are so aggressive and hostile. There can’t be decent debate locally if that’s how it degenerates.

[Newport Lib Dems🔶 @NASLibDems]

Tory, Labour. Across Wales, it doesn't matter. Both take their voters for granted. In local elections, it is always better to vote for a party that has to work, tooth and nail, leaflet by leaflet, door by door, for your vote.

It keeps us on our toes. It keeps us listening.

[Jane Dodds AS/MS 🔶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @DoddsJane]

It was great to be able to talk to BBC Wales today about the positive offer the Welsh Liberal Democrats have for communities across Wales.

Too many people in Wales feel taken for granted by their council and hard working Lib Dem community champions are seeking to change that.

[Newport Lib Dems🔶 @NASLibDems]

Crime and anti-social behaviour is becoming more of a problem in Newport. We have clear ideas about how to start tackling it. We need to work more with local communities and restore trust.

Article from the Argus on our plans for Newport. #NewportNeedsChange https://t.co/FPnRTpgBcP

[Newport Lib Dems🔶 @NASLibDems]

It's one of the biggest issues facing our city. It impacts on so much. Prosperity - will business invest in a dirty city? Happiness - do neighbourhoods feel cared for when rubbish piles up? And more.

We need action on it ASAP after the election. #NewportNeedsChange

[Newport Lib Dems🔶 @NASLibDems]

Labour voters trusting us with their local votes this year. Never seen this level of sadness from their supporters. Same with Conservative voters. Fed up of Boris and his party failing to fess up and take the heat.

Well, there's another choice in Newport.

You can download our manifesto here and form your own views. And let us know your thoughts! #NewportNeedsChange https://t.co/UUsjFqJlm4

[Newport Lib Dems🔶 @NASLibDems]

As a party we believe that we should be open to challenge and debate - so in that light, we wanted to welcome @ndwebb video that looks at our manifesto.

He's also produced videos looking at Labour and Tory manifestos. Some good challenges from him here.

They do say Prime Ministers are always at their most vulnerable to domestic politicking when they’re abroad.

Sometimes it works to run away and escape.

Other times it doesn’t…

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

"If it turned out the building you preside over... attracted more fixed penalty notices than any location or event in the history of lockdown - might that be a cause for resignation?"

That was @GaryGibbonC4's question to Boris Johnson over lockdown parties at No 10.

[Newport Lib Dems🔶 @NASLibDems]

@PrideNewport @southwalesargus We’re ready to help, is what we’re saying, but we’re never going to be people that come in and take over from volunteers that have been passionate for years. We know you’ve pushed for it for a long time. You deserve the credit. But if you need help, we are ready. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

[Newport Lib Dems🔶 @NASLibDems]

We’ve published our manifesto.

It’s focused on what you care about - waste and rubbish, crime, housing quality and the city centre.

We show our liberal values and ideas to empower people, trust communities, and break down barriers.

@PrideNewport @southwalesargus Of course we’ll always support you, we’re a party that has always championed the LGBT+ community. If there’s any other support you need from us as a local party, please get in touch with us. It’s something we care deeply about. ❤️ We just don’t want to wade in and assume things.
