Born here. Raised here. Still here. Chris Ward supports local communities across Christleton & Huntington as a parish councillor, volunteer and local campaigner. Standing to be the next ward councillor. Our communities deserve someone who knows the area, listens and works hard all year round.

With A&E in crisis, services are under huge strain.  Lib Dems have a plan to fix emergency care. Lib Dem MPs visited London Ambulance Service HQ to thank the staff keeping Londoners safe.

A rapid increase in the cost of heating oil and red diesel would mean a “double whammy” of harm to the rural economy, and to island communities in particular. The government must set out its response as soon as possible - which is why I have written to the Chancellor of the Exchequer this afternoon.

It is appalling that Keir Starmer is refusing to give MPs a say on the use of UK air bases to support Trump's strikes on Iran.

Saying defendants are "gaming the system" is absurd. Courts have been underfunded for years. That's the problem & now they come for your rights instead of solving it. Same old Labour reverting to authoritarianism when the going gets tough. Shameful nonsense. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/nov...

We will stand strong where others back down. We will not pander to Reform. We will fight to protect our environment, stand up for decency and the rule of law, and stop Trump’s America from becoming Farage’s Britain. If you share those values, now is the time to join the Liberal Democrats.
Ed Davey writes to disillusioned conservatives: 
Dear friends,

Our country is at a crossroads.

The Conservative Party under Kemi Badenoch is becoming more extreme and out of touch, chasing Nigel Farage instead of focusing on the issues that really matter to people. Meanwhile, Reform UK is growing in strength - threatening the tolerant, decent values that hold our communities together.

I know many One Nation Conservatives are deeply concerned about the lurch to the hard right in our country and under Kemi Badenoch’s leadership. Her plans to tear up the Climate Change Act and withdraw from the ECHR show she is abandoning traditional British values of tolerance, decency and the rule of law. 

So my message to the millions of One Nation Conservatives who feel let down by their party and reject the divisive politics of Badenoch and Farage is to come and join us. Help us save our country and defend the values we all hold dear.

We will stand strong where others back down. We will not pander to Reform. We will fight to protect our environment, stand up for decency and the rule of law, and stop Trump’s America from becoming Farage’s Britain.

So if you share those values, now is the time to join the Liberal Democrats. 

With best wishes,

Ed Davey
