[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

The Trump administration is attacking our democracy. Not in secret, but openly on social media.

Starmer needs to show some backbone and call this out today. We can’t turn a blind eye to this blatant interference any longer.

[GB News @GBNEWS]

‘We need to be open and tolerant to people who come to your country and contribute.’

The Liberal Democrat candidate for the Makerfield by-election Jake Austin speaks to GB News and gives his views on immigration.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

Rather than join other parties in condemning violence and seeking a solution to the problems in our policing, Nigel Farage has once again sought to stoke the flames and sow fear and division in our communities.



Politicians need to come together and find solutions, not more ways to drive our communities apart for their own benefit.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

"This isn't a general election. This is an election for a potential future Prime Minister via the back door, and that's not the right way to be doing politics."

[BBC Question Time @bbcquestiontime]

“This is an election for a potential future Prime Minister via the backdoor”

Liberal Democrat Jake Austin says Andy Burnham “refuses to say the quiet part out loud” that he wants challenge Starmer for Labour leadership, which is “not the right way to be doing politics”

‘The algorithms on X push people to the extremes!’

Sir Ed Davey calls for tighter laws to rein in Elon Musk, warning the world’s richest man shouldn’t be able to ‘incite violence and racism’ or interfere in UK politics.

[Rachel Gilmour, MP for Tiverton & Minehead @RachelGilmourLD]

I've expressed my very serious concerns about South West Water since I was elected. Here is proof that they really need to up their game and be accountable to my constituents not their share holders.

[Roz Savage @roz_savage]

I spoke on shady party funding in parliament yesterday.

For too long uncapped donations have allowed for a huge amount of influence to be exercised on our democracy from outside of our political system.

It’s time for that to change.

The Government must urgently take action to unlock the opportunities young people need for a future they can actually believe in.

That starts with a proper plan to get our economy growing again, scrapping the unfair jobs hike, throwing hospitality a lifeline and supercharging skills and apprenticeships.

[Lib Dem Peers @LibDemPeers]

Ticket touts are pricing fans out of live events.

The government plans to ban it for sporting events but concerts and cultural events get no protection at all. Tim Clement-Jones explains what Lib Dem peers are demanding. 👇️

[Monica Harding MP @monicabeharding]

My urgent question on Lebanon was accepted by the Speaker today.

In it I pressed the Minister for the Middle East on what the UK was doing to support a meaningful ceasefire in Lebanon, press the Israeli Security Cabinet to stop its illegal offensive and occupation in Lebanon, and work with partners to advance multilateral plans to disarm Hezbollah.

@LibDems

[Mike Martin MP 🔸 @ThreshedThought]

South East Water have got a lot of work to do to regain our trust

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

Nigel Farage's first act was not to heed the advice of Mark Nowak.

His first act was to take to social media.

Max Wilkinson MP on why Farage's divisive and hate-filled rhetoric makes things in Britain worse.

[Monica Harding MP @monicabeharding]

If reports are true that the Government is preparing to dilute its defence spending plans, it is unforgivable.

We have a plan to reach 3% of GDP on defence by 2030 through a £20 billion Defence Bond programme while supporting British jobs and industry.

At a time of growing global instability, Britain needs security - through leadership and investment, this is the way to do it.

@LibDems

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

Lifetime ambition to get the word 'wazzock' on the front page of a national newspaper achieved.

Cheers, Zia!

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

This would be simply unforgiveable.

With an aggressive Kremlin and an unstable White House, Starmer must show leadership.

We are calling for the use of defence bonds to raise £20bn to end this stagnation.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

In these volatile times, the Government must move much faster.

We’re urging them to commit to reaching 3% of GDP on defence by 2030, to adopt our £20 billion defence bond programme proposal and cancel their order of US jets to use the money saved to buy 12 new British-made Typhoon jets instead.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

With this government sometimes the only thing you can do is laugh.
