The Liberal Democrats must be the first and last line of defence against the populism infecting our politics.
We need to be ready to fight for the soul of our country.

Ed Davey, "Grow the economy with a new UK-EU Customs Union"
Laura Kuenssberg, "Which the EU might not give you, and is not what the public wants"
Ed Davey, "The thing about trade is it's mutually beneficial.. We'd get ยฃ25 billion more in growth"
Laura Kuenssberg, "It's not what Labour or the Conservatives have argued for"
Ed Davey, "I'm the leader of the Liberal Democrats, I'm putting forward a pro European pro growth policy"
"I can take you though the policies you put up on t he screen and show you how the Liberal Democrats would do things far far differently"
Laura Kuenssberg, "Maybe when we have more time"
Liberal Democrats have long called for the government to expand free school meals. It's a victory for thousands of passionate campaigners that the Government has finally listened.
Now we must ensure it is only a first step.
People are worried about Trumpโs trade war and want to know what they can do to help.
The Government should launch a campaign to encourage people to Buy British and support our high streets, as part of a national effort to back British businesses.
People are worried about how Trumpโs trade war threatens their living standards and want to help. We need to bring the country together.
It's time to back British businesses, Buy British and support our high streets to show we wonโt take Trumpโs tariffs lying down.
So much for pushing for more compensation for @WASPI_Campaign , after letting down pensioners over Winter Fuel , young families with the 2 Child Benefit Cap, NI increases and Farmers Tax, itโs clear that you canโt trust @Keir_Starmer & @UKLabour MPโs to keep their promise, #WASPI
Iโm delighted that Shaffaq Mohammed will be joining the Lib Dem team in the House of Lords.
@ShaffaqMohd has dedicated his life to youth work, public service and local government. He will be an excellent peer, standing up for young people, our environment and for Yorkshire.
Liberal Democrats have always led the fight for fair votes.
As we have done for a century, we will continue to fight for electoral reform to make sure that no one can be ignored in our democracy.
Conservatives betrayed farmers over trade deals and the botched transition to ELMS, causing huge hardshipโฆ so Labour had a great opportunity that, today, they have spectacularly missed. Iโm determined that Lib Dems will be the voice that farmers and rural communities deserve.
๐บ Today I spoke with @itvcalendar about Labourโs Bus Tax.
๐ท The increase in the bus fare price cap, from ยฃ2 to ยฃ3, will hit those with lower incomes & those who already have the least.
๐ It may lead to reduced passenger numbers, cuts to bus routes - particularly in rural areas, and undermines getting people out of cars onto public transport & our climate commitments.
