We @libdems.org.uk will say what no other party dares to say: Britain belongs at the heart of Europe, and we will put her there. We have a plan to get Britain growing again, starting with tearing down barriers with Europe.

The Chancellor's speech today was high on vibes, low on detail, and completely silent on economic growth.

Business Day at our Liberal Democrats Conference was a huge success. We had representatives of businesses right across the country sharing their stories and ideas - and I was delighted to present my new plan for how we get Britain growing again.

The government needs to get serious on growth and pull the biggest growth lever we have: fixing our relationship with Europe.

Today’s inflation figures should be a wake up call for the government.

High streets are being hammered by a broken bricks and mortar tax. The government's business rates review doesn't go far enough. Labour must stick to their pledge and overhaul this broken system entirely, to save our high streets.

Why is the Chancellor so quiet about Europe?

My question to the Prime Minister was for a local St Albans Dad whose child was in a mental health crisis.

My thoughts on the Chancellor's speech this morning. We need a far more radical vision to unleash growth, including a new Growth and Defence Partnership with Europe to supercharge our economy.

Have the Conservatives learnt nothing from Liz Truss's disastrous mini-Budget?

🧵 This can’t be an excuse for not taking bolder and more urgent action to save our high streets now. Fundamental reform of business rates is long overdue but every day high street businesses are deciding whether they can keep the doors open.

Daisy Cooper MP 🔶 @libdemdaisy.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
🧵 The gloomy outlook for the country’s finances will continue until the Government changes course on its anti-growth agenda. They must focus on cutting energy bills and reducing the burden on small high street businesses to boost growth and get money back into treasury coffers.
1134
Daisy Cooper MP 🔶 @libdemdaisy.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
🧵 Families are bracing for an even tighter squeeze on their budgets, with energy bills, fuel, and the weekly shop all skyrocketing. The Government needs to do much more to bring down energy bills and get our sluggish economy growing again.

Daisy Cooper MP 🔶 @libdemdaisy.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
🧵 The government has FINALLY heard @libdems.org.uk calls for a shake up of this anti-growth Treasury. Our country needs growth and we need it now. That’s why I laid out our party’s proposals for a new Department for Growth outside of Whitehall earlier this year.

Wildfires. Heatwaves. We can all see it: climate change is here. Yet the government has given the green light to massively expand Luton airport, without stating how it can do so within the country’s emissions framework. Unbelievable.

PC Andrew Harper's killers should not be released early from prison. It’s deeply unfair to victims’ families for the Government to continue to flip-flop and leave them in limbo.

Behind the scenes of my trip to the Westminster studios to deliver a message to the new PM: Burnham must set out a growth plan now, and it must start with Europe.

Daisy Cooper MP 🔶 @libdemdaisy.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
A plan for growth can’t wait until the October Budget. Burnham must restart talks with European leaders now.

Andy Burnham made a bold pledge to save our pubs - will he stick to it?

The Hillsborough families have campaigned for years for a new duty on public servants to stop cover ups. After months of wrangling on whether to include the security services in the Bill, listen to the commitment I secured from the Deputy Prime Minister today…

It’s time for the government to rip up their red lines on Europe to protect our defence, slash living costs and grow our economy. It’s deeply disappointing that they won’t commit to this.

Defence bonds would raise £20billion to shore to our national security in the next two years. The world has changed, and we need to respond. The government cannot afford to sit on their hands any longer.

Big corporations are making a fast buck whilst families struggle with soaring energy costs. We @libdems.org.uk will change that by clawing back their windfall profits to cut your bills, through our Essential Energy Guarantee. Watch to hear more.

I was asked what I thought about the Prime Minister's ultimatum to tech companies. Here's what I had to say.

I can't believe it's taken 2 years for the Prime Minister to issue an ultimatum to the big tech companies.

Labour's King's Speech included one new Bill for small businesses, namely to tackle late payments. This barely scratches the surface of the challenges facing small businesses.

The war in Iran is pushing up prices and impacting farmers, shaking the bedrock of our food security. The government needs to look at all the pressures, in the round.

Very proud to join faith and community leaders from across our county to take a stand together against antisemitism, Islamophobia, and all forms of hate.

I wonder what it is about the PM fighting for his political life that’s made the Chancellor suddenly realise that a temporary VAT cut - that we Lib Dems have championed for months - might be a good idea? 🤔

Daisy Cooper MP 🔶 @libdemdaisy.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
British businesses face so much extra post-Brexit red tape. A new UK-EU customs union would strip much of it away. That’s why it’s so disappointing that Labour MPs joined the Tories and Reform in blocking @libdems.org.uk calls to kickstart negotiations.

The government's decision to extend the fuel duty freeze later this year is too little, too late.

The threat of Trumpflation is hanging over people’s heads. The government should take up our Lib Dem plans. Read the full story: www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5...

Brexit has left us poorer and more isolated in a dangerous world. We must build real sovereignty with energy and food independence - whilst re-building our relationship with Europe to make us richer and safer.

Save our high streets! Eye‑watering business rates bills are landing on doormats, meaning that some small businesses including here in St Albans will have to make the heart wrenching decision to close their doors, for good. I’ve called on the Chancellor again to take action to save our high streets.

The horrific antisemitic attacks we have seen across the country are both attacks on British Jews and attacks on our British values.

Nigel Farage received a £5m crypto donation from a foreign Bitcoin billionaire - while actively promoting cryptocurrency himself. That stinks. We will not let our British politics be bankrolled by Bitcoin billionaires. We do not want Donald Trump’s America to become Nigel Farage’s Britain.
