35°C in late May. Records broken. The country woefully unprepared.
@EarlRussellLD, Lib Dem Energy and Net Zero spokesperson in the Lords, on why this country cannot afford to wait any longer.
A 6th newly elected London Green councillor has quit overnight. Joanna Eaves resigned from Lambeth Council due to ill health. A by-election will be called in Clapham Park.
It follows candidates that won in Camden, Haringey, Ealing, Hackney and Lambeth also stepping down
250,000 miscarriages happen in the UK every year, but you have to suffer three or more before you get any extra support.

#LocalElections2026
Coastal towns. Rural villages. Left out of the Government's Devolution Bill.
Baroness Cathy Bakewell and Lib Dem peers wouldn't accept it. We pushed until ministers backed down.
Coastal & rural communities are now written into the Bill.
This story has been shared a lot this weekend.
There *is* a very real chance Labour will lose control of Lambeth Council in local elections on May 7th.
But it is *much* less likely that there will be an overall Green majority in Lambeth Town Hall.

🔶 LIB DEM WIN - CUTTING YOUR BILLS ✂️
The Government has finally listened to Ed Davey and announced they will break the link between gas prices and electricity prices.
Electricity from solar or wind is now much cheaper than gas. But people aren’t seeing the benefit of cheap renewable power.
.@GBNEWS claims it’s the home of free speech, but they do lean heavily to the right. Will they commit to allowing a Liberal Democrat to host a show next year to balance out Farage, Rees-Mogg and Anderson? I challenged @christopherhope to set an ambitious goal for 2026.
The Lib Dem leader, Sir Ed Davey, is visiting a bottled-water station in Tunbridge Wells - where 14,000 properties have been without supplies for four days. He says the army should be brought in if needed.
In a devastating blow to irreplaceable habitats, Lib Dems backed an amendment to the Planning Bill to protect our chalk streams — but it fell because the Tories failed to support it.
Their inaction speaks louder than any promise on the environment.

🔶🚨 Liberal Democrat Win
Today, @DannyVet's Animal Welfare Bill passed 3rd Reading in the House of Lords, paving the way for it becoming law
Hear Lib Dem Spokesperson Baroness Grender, speaking in the Lords Chamber on what the Bill will mean for so many animals in the UK 🐈🐕
Fantastic to see @OllyGrender speaking on @DannyVet's Bill to tackle puppy smuggling.
In just a year as an MP, Danny has driven a campaign with lasting impact.
This Bill continues Liberal Democrat's strong record of delivering animal welfare reforms in law.
