The Conservatives and Reform have one thing in common: failing on climate. With heatwaves becoming the new normal, Lib Dems will keep fighting for real climate action and a path to net zero.

I hope the Labour Party isn't having to pay Stamp Duty as they switch up the occupiers of Number 10... because, like always, it'll be us who pays for more political inaction and infighting!

It has been a joy to explain to so many young people today that Andy B, who will probably be our next prime minister, started that journey this morning stood between a fox and a man with a bin on his head talk about Wigan Kebabs... everyone of them sees it for what it is, and appreciates it!

Concerning that the Plaid Cymru Senedd would delay publishing an independent report into the pay of teachers. The only conclusion is there’s something in it they don’t want discussed. This is a slap in the face just weeks after winning an election where they promised to safeguard eduction in Wales…

Carers' Week and every week, Liberal Democrats will always stand up for our paid and unpaid carers. Because you can't fix the NHS without fixing social care.
OUR PLAN TO STAND UP FOR CARERS

1. Introduce free personal care for disabled and elderly adults 

2. Establish a Royal College of Care Workers - just like the Royal Colleges of nursing and midwifes

3. Introduce a Carers' Minimum Wage - £2 higher than the Living Wage

4. Increase the Carers' Allowance and
give unpaid carers guaranteed breaks

❤️Love this idea❤️ The HUGE profits made by Energy Companies are at the cost of many of our poorest, oldest and most vulnerable neighbours. Clawing back some of this windfall is a no brainer for helping EVERYONE, and with more money in people pockets our high streets and economy will thrive too!

The Government must urgently take action to unlock the opportunities young people need for a future they can actually believe in. That starts with a plan to get our economy growing again, scrapping the unfair jobs hike, throwing hospitality a lifeline and supercharging skills and apprenticeships.

We will continue to be at the whim of volatile global markets, dictators like Putin and warmongers like Trump until we completely break the link between electricity and gas prices. Liberal Democrats have a plan to do this and a fully costed package to halve energy bills in the next decade.

High streets are struggling, with pubs, restaurants and cafés shutting their doors. Cutting VAT on hospitality and energy would put money back in people’s pockets, support local jobs, and give the country a much-needed boost.

It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him. The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK. The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.
Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump:

The TOP people in the BBC, including TIM DAVIE, the BOSS, are all quitting/FIRED, because they were caught “doctoring” my very good (PERFECT!) speech of January 6th. Thank you to The Telegraph for exposing these Corrupt “Journalists.” These are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a Presidential Election. On top of everything else, they are from a Foreign Country, one that many consider our Number One Ally. What a terrible thing for Democracy!
