Medical records were destroyed decades ago but infected blood victims are still being asked to prove the exact date they were infected. Sal Brinton, Lib Dem victims spokesperson, pressed the government to drop a demand that is stalling claims and leaving families waiting. @salbrinton.bsky.social

10 years since #Brexit. What have we lost? £90bn a year — the cost of the Tories' deal. Labour is rushing to Beijing for deals with an authoritarian regime instead of rebuilding ties with Europe. Only single market access puts Britain at Europe's heart. 🔶 #libdems

Unforgivable. This happens when current rules on reporting interest in parliamentarians are not strict enough. That’s why our Policy Working Group in @libdems.org.uk is working hard on plugging the loophole. #DefendingBritishDemocracy #DemocracyResilience

PARALLEL POLICY: Government's under-16s social media ban. "No child in Britain needs to know the failures of authoritarian governments -- just in case Starmer fails as badly." From HK to Georgia, youth engage social media in calling out authoritarian policies that kills off their country's future.
