We are deeply concerned about the election of Trump and the impacts that this presidency will have on the environment. From “drill baby drill” to vowing to cut the “green new scam”, there will be irreversible damage done to our planet.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Today, I asked the Prime Minister about how he plans to address President-elect Trump's troubling praise for Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine and his reckless stance on NATO.

The UK must lead in Europe to ensure strong support for Ukraine and uphold our shared security.

[Ian Sollom MP 🔶 @IanSollom]

To those of us that believe that integrity, kindness and compassion are fundamental for a just, free and fair world, today's news from the US was a blow.

The fight for those values – for that vision – is why I am a Liberal Democrat.

With the geopolitical shock of a likely Trump win the UK needs to move immediately back closer to our European allies- including reopening the issue of the single market

At less than half the minimum wage, Statutory Maternity Pay is far from excessive

Ed Davey sums up how many in the UK are feeling about the terrible outcome overnight. The UK must now get serious about reengaging with the EU on trade, defence and other issues.

[Wendy Chamberlain @wendychambLD]

As I listen to Trump's victory speech, this is the key issue. It's clear that repairing the UK's relationship with Europe is now absolutely critical for our security.

[Wera Hobhouse MP 🔶 🇺🇦 @Wera_Hobhouse]

Today is not a day to be dejected but to understand that standing up for civil rights, for inclusion and compassionate politics continues to be a battle.

This is the time for Liberals everywhere to not give up and fight for our values.
Join us @LibDems

Kemi Badenoch's cheerleading of Donald Trump at PMQs shows the Conservatives are totally out of touch with our values

We should be standing up for human rights, the rule of law and international security - not rolling out the red carpet for Trump.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

Now more than ever, we must stand up for the core liberal values of equality, democracy, human rights and the rule of law – at home and around the world.

[Daisy Cooper MP 🔶 @libdemdaisy]

This is an undeniably dark day and millions of people around the world will be afraid of what comes next. It's now more important than ever that we stand together, organise and continue to fight for our liberal values of equality, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.

[Layla Moran 🔶🕊️ @LaylaMoran]

Votes not yet all in but looks like hate is winning. The implications for security across the globe cannot be underestimated. Ukraine. Middle East. China. The UK will need to reevaluate its geopolitical centre of gravity.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Now more than ever, we must stand up for the core liberal values of equality, democracy, human rights and the rule of law – at home and around the world.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Fixing the UK’s broken relationship with the EU is even more urgent than before. We must strengthen trade and defence cooperation across Europe to help protect ourselves from the damage Trump will do.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Families across the UK will also be worrying about the damage Trump will do to our economy and our national security, given his record of starting trade wars, undermining NATO and emboldening tyrants like Putin.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Millions of Americans – especially women and minorities – will be incredibly fearful about what comes next. We stand with them.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

The next President of the United States is a man who actively undermines the rule of law, human rights, international trade, climate action and global security.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

This is a dark, dark day for people around the globe. The world’s largest economy and most powerful military will be led by a dangerous, destructive demagogue.

[Ellen Milligan @EllenAMilligan]

8 years since the Brexit vote, the end of seamless EU trade is about to hit home.

It’s a story on cumbersome checks, paperwork + the people it's impacting. And ultimately it's about the British consumer + a supermarket staple: the humble bacon rasher.

I also speak to the Danish shipping firm at Esbjerg port who have only known internal EU trade since the 1970s, to the UK port owner at Immingham, Lincolnshire operating a new facility for the checks + finally the Kent wholesaler who's had to adapt how he trades.
