Why is Labour giving Trump a free pass to break international law?
We know what happens when US Presidents launch illegal wars. It’s why the Liberal Democrats opposed the Iraq War and it’s why we condemn Trump’s law-breaking in Venezuela today.
If Trump really loves Scotland, why is he hammering Scotch whisky with tariffs?
With millions regularly enjoying Scotch on both sides of the Atlantic, it’s a bridge between the US and the UK - even in the midst of Trump’s trade war.
These unfair and damaging tariffs must go.
The BBC are constantly bending over backwards to please Reform.
I fear they're becoming a mouthpiece for Nigel Farage, a guy who wants to destroy them.
This #CarersWeek, I’m proud to stand with @CarersUK and others in one clear call: greater equality and recognition for family carers. Let’s stand together and show we care. @CarersWeek
This is an awful lot of pre-summer before actual summer. It’s making me worry what actual summer will be like. It’ll either be far too much actual summer, or not much actual summer at all.
In GE2019, the Tories got 56% of seats on 44% of the votes. In GE2024, Labour got 63% of seats on 34% of the votes.
We need to change this system so that seats match votes - voters should get the MPs and policies they vote for.

Many Scots are feeling scunnered and politically homeless right now.
There is a home for you with the Liberal Democrats if you believe in bringing decency and respect back into our politics, if you are open and outward looking.
A new YouGov poll out today has us leading in the South of England.
Millions of people want a strong anti-Trump, anti-Farage party that works everyday for their communities.
Just now I challenged the Chancellor on the rushed and severe welfare cuts that will hit the most vulnerable in our society. While benefit reform is necessary, this approach is ill-conceived and unfair. Balancing the nation’s books shouldn’t come at the expense of those who need support the most.
We must protect the vulnerable, not punish them. I’ll continue to stand up for a fairer, more compassionate system.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.
They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.
The EU wasn’t formed to screw anyone. Quite the opposite. It was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. As simple as that. 🇪🇺🇺🇸
With Donald Trump parroting Putin’s propaganda and prioritising America’s enemies over its friends, Keir Starmer must make it clear today: if Trump continues like this, the UK will not stay silent.
