We’ve repeatedly said we should raise revenue in a fairer way—by going after companies making billions in profits, who can afford to pay a bit more to help restore our public services. At the same time, we need to grow the economy and negotiate our EU trade deal. Daisy Cooper MP #bbcqt

The #LibDems have a clear plan to fix #Oxfordshire’s roads, with a record £59 million budgeted to tackle years of neglect under Conservative rule. It’s such a strong plan that the Conservatives couldn’t even bring themselves to oppose it in a recent council meeting.

It was wonderful to welcome #LibDem MP for Bicester & Woodstock @calummillerld.bsky.social to Hanwell to meet villagers today! Calum is a well-respected county councillor and was elected as MP in July last year and is already making a real difference!

This isn’t just bad politics; it’s a betrayal of our values and a dangerous signal to the world. Where is his backbone? At a time when democracy is under threat, we need a leader who stands firm—not one who kneels to those who side with dictators and enemies of freedom. Britain deserves better.

It’s not just embarrassing—it’s downright alarming. Our #PrimeMinister, Sir Keir #Starmer, is bowing to Donald #Trump, a man who shamelessly spreads lies, calls #Ukraine’s president a dictator, and aligns himself with #Russia and #NorthKorea. Image: Getty Images.

For three years, the brave Ukrainian people have heroically defended their country against Putin’s war machine. Now, more than ever, we must stand firmly in support of our Ukrainian friends, resist Trump's stitch up with Putin and work with our European neighbours to defend freedom and democracy.

Great news! The Liberal Democrat-led 🔶 budget passed by OCC today means more investment in fixing our roads, improving public transport, tackling flooding, and boosting public services. The Conservatives... well they voted against it—pushing for cuts instead - they love creating potholes! 🥴

Tomorrow is Holocaust Memorial Day - a time when we seek to learn the lessons of the past and recognise that genocide does not just take place on its own – it’s a steady process which can begin if discrimination, racism, homophobia and hatred are not checked and prevented.

I’ve lived here for 10 years, gaining a deep understanding of the concerns that matter to local residents. We all know how special our area is, and I’m committed to continuing my work to make it an even better place to live.

Being elected as the first Lib Dem in our area was a truly proud moment for me. It’s been an honour to get to work on addressing the many issues residents face, issues that have been left behind by the Conservative’s long and damaging legacy.

Having a dedicated, local councillor who truly represents the people and is committed to doing what’s right is vital for our community That’s why I’ve decided to take the next step and run for county councillor in the new Cropredy & Hook Norton Division—so I can achieve even more for you

This dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric is further proof that the UK can’t rely on the Trump administration. It’s in our national interest to rebuild trade and security ties with our allies in Europe.

People have had enough of Elon Musk interfering with our country’s democracy when he clearly knows nothing about Britain. It’s time to summon the US ambassador to ask why an incoming US official is suggesting the UK government should be overthrown.

Nobody should be scared to swim in their local bathing spots for fear of getting ill from sewage. It's time to abolish Ofwat and bring in a real regulator with real teeth to clamp down on this disgraced industry.
