I welcome the Prime Minister’s admission that the Brexit deal is a disaster for our economy, but the real test is: will he drop Labour's red lines that stop us fixing it? Today he says no – so we have more work to do!

Ed Davey told the Commons in July what Reform activists were saying on doorsteps. Tonight, we saw ITV went undercover and got Reform councillors and candidates on tape.

Today is World Mental Health Day. This year’s theme is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change”. Around one in twenty-five people experience a mental health issue at some point in their lives. It is important to listen to those with mental health issues. 1/4 #WMHD2026

It’s really good to see a delivery platform calling for better regulation of #eBike conversion kits but this doesn’t address a business model that encourages use of such illegal conversion kits and should not prevent increased regulation of these platforms.

Deliveroo is calling on the Government to crack down on dangerous e-bikes by banning the sale of unsafe conversion kits to the general public, as part of its new Ride Safe campaign to make roads safer...

It's polling day in Holborn & St Pancras, where Green Party Leader Zak Polanski is challenging Labour's Sagal Abdi-Wali. 🌹 Labour are polling at 27.3% nationally, their highest since December 2024. 🌍 Greens are polling at 9.8% nationally, their lowest since September 2025.

Badenoch has spent half her conference making unfunded promises, and half lecturing the country on fiscal responsibility. We’re all still paying the price for Conservative financial mismanagement. Liberal Democrats will act as the firewall stopping her handing No 10 to Farage.

Kemi Badenoch claims the Conservative Party has changed, but people in Spelthorne aren't so convinced. I came to hear their concerns, and it's clear: empty promises won’t make them forget years of Conservative chaos, neglect and failure.

🧵 The Conservatives' rejection of closer ties with Europe has cemented their position as a pointless anti-growth anti-business party. Our @libdems.org.uk plan to Get Britain Growing Again will turbo-charge our economy, starting with a new Growth and Defence Partnership with Europe.

Tim Farron - That the antisemitic entryists who have captured the Green Party, are being antisemitic, is no surprise. That the Party Leader skipped this vote and failed to use his authority to argue against them, is an astonishing act of weakness.  Real Greens are welcome in the Lib Dems…

Britain feels broken because it is being held back. People feel powerless, and they can't hold the powerful to account. Liberal Democrats want to change our politics so that, together, we can fix our country.

They should not have to make themselves invisible to participate in public life.

Our statement on the EHRC Code of Practice.
Today, the new EHRC Code of Practice comes into force, excluding trans people from services and facilities they have used without issue for decades.

This guidance is discriminatory, unworkable, and makes everyone less safe. It will have a devastating impact on trans people’s day-to-day lives.

Equalities law needs to change to restore trans people’s rights. We will never stop fighting for a society where trans people are free to live openly and without fear.

Today's proposed new powers for Mayors can help our region. But the continued election delay and the failure to include ferries alongside the new powers for buses and trains are both big misses.

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.

Even after today's announcement, high street hospitality businesses up and down the country will still be in serious trouble. Andy Burnham should take up our plan to Save our High Streets, with a proper overhaul of business rates, a crackdown on ‘ghost landlords’ and rejuvenating town centres

These statistics reveal an alarming crisis in maternity, with far too many midwives burning out early in their career and in their training. Patients are paying the price, and mothers are left with no alternative but to give birth on understaffed and unsafe wards.
