Tories overstate net zero cost by nearly £500bn in apparent spreadsheet error
Exclusive: Badenoch’s flagship conference policy document cites £957bn estimate, twice the total in climate advisers’ data

That’s entirely right. Clinging to Brexit orthodoxy will starve us of the economic growth we need. Delaying the transition to a more renewable energy mix will make us more vulnerable to energy shocks. And tax cuts for those already wealthy will bring little to no economic benefit at huge expense.

Fair play Ed Davey for condemning masked racist thugs on the streets of Britain. Why is it left to a Lib Dem leader to fill this chasm? #EdDaveySpeech #LibDemConference

I’ve been very happy to support this motion. Water companies’ customers and the environment need radical change in the water industry

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.

While Farage fights in a bin in Clacton, we are winning across the country, with a GAIN from Reform in Kirklees and Labour in East Devon. In so many parts of the country, only the Liberal Democrats can defeat Reform. Huge congratulations to the teams on their results!

It’s outrageous that #ThamesWater customers are now being asked again to pay for the mismanagement of their local water network over years. Like double taxation, it just isn’t fair.

This is a wild thing to do on the same day as banning disposable BBQs and sending an emergency alert because the risk of wildfires is so great

The #Netherlands is finding creative ways to expand #solarpower without sacrificing large amounts of valuable land. Solar panels on buildings and combining electricity generation with surfaces that already serve another purpose. Rooftops are an important part of this strategy #ActOnClimate

While wildfires rage, oil bosses are laughing all the way to the bank thanks to Donald Trump’s idiotic Iran war. People across the country are facing sky high energy bills. If Burnham is struggling to find the money to help families with those bills, I’d start here.

This has been a @libdems.org.uk campaign for quite some time. I’m pleased to see it gain traction. Water is a vital public service and the #WaterIndustry must be run for the public interest, not extraordinary, harmful private profit

Not all areas have strategic mayoralties and not all areas look like Manchester. Large rural councils have their own, unique challenges and must be given the resources and the devolved powers to run them well

Donald Trump is doubling down on his reckless trade war, after his last tariff tantrum was ruled illegal. He's a bully and an unreliable ally. We can't have continuity Starmer. Andy Burnham must stand up to Trump.

We’re nearly at the end of #NetZero week and it should really attract more awareness. So I’m reposting these net zero mythbusters. Investing in renewables is our best chance to gain energy security, reduce energy costs, and keep a planet where people and nature can thrive. It’s a #WinWinWin

On Nigel Farage’s announcement that he will make a statement about his future in public life later today, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, Ed Davey said: “I hope it’s that you haven’t got one. “You’ve caused more than enough damage already."

So now Farage has resigned as MP but says he’ll fight the by-election. All to deflect from or to escape scrutiny by the Parliamentary Standards committee. Costing the taxpayer - ie his constituents- thousands of pounds. And all to defend his “right” to a good grift.

The Lib Dem’s have referred Nigel Farage to the parliamentary standards commissioner to investigate the donation he received from a convicted felon and did not declare. He has a lot of questions to answer about who funds him and what they expect in return.

Absolutely right. Brexit was a bad idea in 2016. Since then the world has changed. It’s become economically and politically much more volatile. We need our friends in the rest of Europe and they need us.

While you struggle with the cost of living, soaring energy bills and rising weekly food costs, one man has made a fortune from the Brexit deal. 10 years on, do you feel better off?
Nigel Farage smiling under the headline "Farage: I was given £5m as a reward for brexit" 

and the quote: 
"I can do what I want with it. I can put it on the horses.
 I can spend it on Ferraris if I want. That’d be entirely up to me."

Always clear that would happen. And the Conservative MP for #MidBucks would be fully behind a pact with Reform. More reason to vote all remaining Tory MPs out.

Ed is absolutely right. Tragedies like this require our support for victims and their families, police investigations into the perpetrators, and measured political responses to look at the ways in which knife crimes can be prevented. Not exploitation by those who want to sow division and hatred.

The murder if a young man should not be politicised in the way Farage and his ilk are doing. Henry Nowak’s parents have explicitly asked that his death should not be used to see division and hatred. We should all respect that.

Whatever the merits of first past the post mayor may not have been in the past, it’s more than obvious that it’s not fit for purpose in a five or six party political landscape. It’s time to fix it.

The government should start with finding a proper public benefit solution for Thames Water. And replace Ofwat with a regular that has teeth and is properly resourced. The ongoing scandal of sewage pollution in our rivers and seas has to stop.

Palantir should be nowhere near our NHS. The government should be setting out its plan for removing it from our health service as soon as possible.
Liberal Democrats are calling for the Government to halt the award of public contracts to Palantir, including the Ministry of Defence.

A Trump aligned tech giant should be allowed no where near our national security infrastructure.- Helen Morgan

Last night, @LisaSmartMP.bsky.social tabled an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill to hold water company managers liable for missing pollution commitment levels. 

It was voted down by the government. It’s so disappointing that Labour MPs have voted to let these executives off scot free.
