The threats we face here in the UK – from populism, from Trump, from Putin – are shared by our friends around the world. It was great to join fellow leaders at Liberal International's Security Conference to discuss how we work together to defend liberal values.

The rot at FIFA has gone too far. Under Infantino, political greed has completely broken the game we love. We can't just watch from the sidelines anymore, the FA and our European partners need to walk away and build a fair, clean alternative from scratch. It’s time to move on.

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey has unveiled a billboard campaign across the UK to mark the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum today. The billboards call out Reform leader Nigel Farage’s £5 million "reward for campaigning for Brexit, whilst people across the country feel the pinch."
Lib Dem billboard of Nigel Farage laughing, captioned "Ten years on… do you feel better off?" above a Telegraph headline "Farage: I was given £5m as a reward for Brexit". Orange Lib Dem placards in the foreground.

Nigel Farage pocketed a £5 million Brexit reward. When he promised we would be better off, he clearly only meant himself. 10 years on, it's time to end the chaos and fix our broken relationship with Europe, starting by joining the single market.

While Farage pockets millions as a "reward" for Brexit, the rest of us are left with soaring energy bills, deep political chaos, and a broken economy. He only cares about himself and his wealthy donors. It is up to all of us to make sure he never becomes Prime Minister.

Liberal Democrats know our future is at the heart of Europe, and we have a credible plan to get there. It starts with a UK-EU Customs Union.

This is a make or break moment for Labour MPs. As we force a vote tomorrow for a UK-EU Customs Union, leadership hopefuls like Andy Burnham are already U-turning on the EU. Will they back our vote and fix this Brexit chaos, or keep failing the public? It's their choice.

Though smaller than last year, the Unite the Kingdom march over the weekend was still sickening. The resurgence of out-and-out racism in the UK, from demands for remigration of British Asians to Antisemitic slurs on placards at both demonstrations, demands we meet this moment.

Wow. Check out this Aussie telling it like it is. 1/2

Not Your Average Liberal
@NotAvgLiberal
Just read it.

Spot On - 

An Aussie reply to Trump’s rant about ‘NATO not being there for us’:

“Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.

You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.

Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
