We need real action from the Prime Minister on Europe, not more hesitation. The Liberal Democrats have a plan to strengthen our economy, cut living costs, and boost defence by rejoining the Single Market, Customs Union, and working with European partners on security. These issues cannot wait.

They will try to break our country, we will stop them.

The people developing super-intelligent AI have warned it could kill us all. We can’t leave the future of humanity in the hands of Trump or the tech billionaires. We need a global treaty to press pause before it’s too late.

Britain feels broken because it is being held back. People feel powerless, and they can't hold the powerful to account. Liberal Democrats want to change our politics so that, together, we can fix our country.

We will cut income tax by raising the personal allowance, and take 750,000 ordinary people out of paying the higher 40p rate.

Standing here on Brighton beach, I know this is the fight of our lives. Now more than ever, we must offer real hope and fix Britain's broken political system together.

Andy Burnham must stand up to Trump like Mark Carney, not suck up to him like Keir Starmer.

Brilliant to join Paddle UK, Surfers Against Sewage, Marine Conservation Society, and Rewilding Britain on Brighton Beach this morning for a beach clean. Great turnout and we are committed to protecting our coastlines and water.

A brilliant start to the Lib Dem Party Conference in Brighton! Serving up fresh fish and chips to our fantastic local party activists and supporters. Ready for a great week ahead by the coast.

The threats we face here in the UK – from populism, from Trump, from Putin – are shared by our friends around the world. It was great to join fellow leaders at Liberal International's Security Conference to discuss how we work together to defend liberal values.

Conference season has officially begun! Can’t wait to see everyone in Brighton. The cost of living. The NHS. Our democracy under threat from populism and billionaires trying to buy it. These are the fights that matter – and we’re taking them on.

Donald Trump is trying to bully AI firms not to engage with Britain’s AI Safety Institute. He’s making the world less safe. The UK must stand up to him.

I’ve been hearing from farmers about the devastating impact of bluetongue on top of this year’s droughts. We are calling on the government to set up an urgent taskforce, speed up vaccines, and support British farmers to feed our nation.

Women are suffering horrific injuries and dying in childbirth. This national scandal cannot continue. This week, we’ll force a vote in Parliament to demand safer maternity care for every mum. Britain must be the safest place to have a baby.

This is serious. If Reform blatantly, intentionally and knowingly broke election law, they should be held fully accountable. Liberal Democrats have asked the Police and the Electoral Commission to investigate.

This is racism, straight out of the Trump playbook. Reform are trying to turn our great country into a franchise of Trump's America. There are countless British patriots who came here from overseas, many of them refugees we proudly welcomed. That's the kind of country we are.

You can’t fix our country until you fix our broken politics. It was brilliant to meet some democracy campaigners today!

Tory and Reform MPs don't like to hear it, but fixing their Brexit mess is the only way to end the cost-of-living crisis. And that means joining the Single Market.

Ed Davey @eddavey.libdems.org.uk · 01/09/2026
I've written to the Prime Minister ahead of his first statement later today, with a clear message: Our politics is broken and we can’t fix our country until we fix our politics.

The Conservatives and Nigel Farage helped create the small boats crisis with their botched Brexit deal. Now they want you to blame everyone else. Only Lib Dems have a real plan: work with our European neighbours to tackle it.

Congratulations to everyone picking up their GCSE results today! A special shout out to the young carers balancing school with caring for loved ones. Juggling that responsibility takes incredible strength, and your dedication and resilience will take you far.

Ed Davey @eddavey.libdems.org.uk · 19/08/2026
The Conservatives' botched Brexit deal, backed by Nigel Farage, caused the small boats crisis. Only we have a plan to fix it through a new pact with our European neighbours.

This is shocking. The Conservatives' new energy plan goes way past scrapping net zero – they actually want to put emissions up. After a summer of wildfires, it seems the Conservatives have completely given up on the environment and are just taking orders from Donald Trump.

Disabilities don't start at 9:30 AM, and now disabled bus passes won't either. Huge credit to Lib Dem MP Tom Gordon and campaign groups like Transport for All. Their fight against unfair restrictions has led to nationwide change for fairer, accessible transport!

Nearly everyone knows someone with special educational needs or a disability. For too long, they've been let down by a broken system. It's time they got the help they need.

Ed Davey @eddavey.libdems.org.uk · 02/08/2026
We have been saying for many years that the only way to fix care is by all of the main parties agreeing on the same plan. We have a responsibility to work together and a real opportunity to fix it.

I feel hopeful about the talks today on fixing our broken care system but this is just the beginning. A solution is desperately needed. I will always stand up for family carers through this process.

Ed Davey @eddavey.libdems.org.uk · 29/07/2026
Caring has been central to my life, and the lives of millions across the country. I'll be meeting the Prime Minister today to discuss how we can finally find a solution to the care crisis. We need to do things differently. I really hope we are on a journey to fix this.

Great to be out on the River Thames in Bisham with local MP Josh Reynolds for a litter pick as part of Paddle UK’s Big Paddle Clean Up! It was fantastic to get on the water, meet local people, and help keep our beautiful rivers clean and healthy for everyone.

We need to do politics differently. If Andy Burnham is serious about cross party working, my door is open.

The rot at FIFA has gone too far. Under Infantino, political greed has completely broken the game we love. We can't just watch from the sidelines anymore, the FA and our European partners need to walk away and build a fair, clean alternative from scratch. It’s time to move on.

It’s been brilliant to visit National Star College in Cheltenham. Seeing their amazing design work highlights how crucial specialised SEND education is in helping young people build confidence.

In the age of Trump, the UK-Canada alliance is more important than ever in my lifetime. So it was good to meet to High Commissioner Blair, Canada's top diplomat in the UK – to talk defence, diplomacy, and the coalition of the willing.

If we are ever going to fix social care, we need to work across party lines. I've invited @AndyBurnham to sit down once he becomes Prime Minister, in hopes of finally solving this crisis which takes such a toll on families, our NHS and our economy. There is no time to waste.

Ed Davey @eddavey.libdems.org.uk · 14/07/2026
Today I called on our incoming PM to fix our broken politics. If Andy Burnham is serious about changing the way we do things and ending the performative hostility, my door is open.

Great to visit Torquay United FC for some footie. It was brilliant spending time out on the pitch with Steve and Jenny, and seeing their brilliant Torquay United Inspirations program, bringing together people with disabilities for a weekly kick about.

Dermot Murnaghan was a broadcasting legend who we have lost far too soon. His tireless advocacy, encouraging more men to get tested for prostate cancer, will no doubt have saved lives. Thinking of his family, loved ones and colleagues at this sad time.

Nigel Farage claims there's no money in politics, but his track record says otherwise. From hiding massive gifts to abandoning his own voters in Clacton, he's only ever cared about himself. It’s time to face the facts: Nigel Farage is just a Temu Trump.

Ed Davey @eddavey.libdems.org.uk · 08/07/2026
The Chancellor has the power to stop Farage's cynical ploy. I've written to her this morning urging her to act. Farage should not be allowed to resign until the investigation into his dodgy dealings has concluded. The people of Clacton deserve the facts first.

Ed Davey @eddavey.libdems.org.uk · 07/07/2026
Nigel Farage has lined his own pockets and is using this by-election to escape scrutiny. The people of Clacton deserve better.

The NHS is a national treasure built on the special promise of care for everyone, when they need it most. By fixing social care, improving access, and protecting its future, we can ensure our health service thrives. Happy Birthday to our NHS!

Here's to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Happy Birthday America!
Happy birthday America!

“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” What a mission statement! An aspiration we can all get behind.

The relationship between our two countries hasn’t always been smooth, but it endures because of our shared commitment to the fundamental values of democracy, liberty and the rule of law.

Because of our shared belief that everyone – no matter their background, no matter where they start – should have the chance to build a good life for themselves and their families.

Even though these are tough times – and those ideals can feel very distant right now – I know our relationship will endure. I know better days lie ahead, and we can reach them together.

So here’s to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Cheers!

A British-Indian friend told me how Reform activists threatened to take away her family's passports if they get into power. The rising tide of racism should worry us all. And the politicians who are stoking it must be condemned.
