Months ago, I asked the Prime Minister a simple question: why did he keep backing Mandelson despite his Epstein links, and what leverage might the Trump administration have over him?
Instead of answering, he waved it away.
When will we see Farage face questions about his support for Trump?
Why is Labour giving Trump a free pass to break international law?
We know what happens when US Presidents launch illegal wars. It’s why the Liberal Democrats opposed the Iraq War and it’s why we condemn Trump’s law-breaking in Venezuela today.
Vote Lib Dem Simon Roche in Stapleford Southeast tomorrow
If you live in Stapleford South East there's a by-election tomorrow.
Vote for Simon and keep out Reform.
Vote Liberal Democrat.
Rachel Reeves admits Brexit has damaged the economy but won’t take the steps needed to fix it.
Lib Dems have a plan to rebuild Britain’s trade with the EU and boost growth.

Nigel Farage continues to stay in Vladmir Putin's pocket.
We Lib Dems will continue to protect our democracy.
As this report is published, my thoughts and prayers are with all those who lost loved ones during the pandemic, and everyone who suffered. That a national lockdown could have been avoided will be shattering news to every person who was affected. Kemi Badenoch should apologise on behalf of her party. This report confirms the abject failure of the last Conservative government. The British people will rightly never forgive the Conservatives for leaving the country rudderless and vulnerable, and for partying while our communities were isolated and grieving. This tragedy can never be repeated. I am alarmed that Reform politicians seem intent on trashing medical science and spreading disinformation about vaccines. Every party leader must confirm today that they will follow this inquiry’s recommendations, and that they will guarantee funding and support for the vaccines that ended the lockdowns but are now threatened by Trump. - Ed Davey

Donald Trump is gunning for the BBC, and Farage is cheering him on. Want to know why? Follow the money…
This is Keir Starmer’s moment to stand up for Britain and call on Trump to drop his ludicrous lawsuit against the BBC.
The Prime Minister has spent months cosying up to Trump. If he can’t stop him from attacking one of our most precious institutions, what was it all for?
Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.
The BBC isn't perfect, but it belongs to Britain not Trump.
Political leaders across the UK must unite in defending its independence from the White House.
🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA
The BBC should not be bullied by a foreign leader.
It should not be supine to the far right.
And its board should not include anyone who appears neither neutral nor independent.
Brexit has been a disaster for our economy.
Kemi was an advocate for it. She needs to take responsibility for making us all poorer.
Chris Philp failed FIVE times to call out Reform MP Sarah Pochin’s blatantly racist comments.
The Conservatives are too scared of Reform to call out this racism for what it is.
Liberal Democrats will always call out racism and stand up for a decent, tolerant Britain.
Lam's plans to deport people with permanent resident status who have claimed benefits which are legally theirs is a true disgrace and should make us all shudder.
This is not "controlling immigration". This is the mass deportation policy of the far right.
Lib Dems vs Reform - Liberal Democrats are the only party taking on Reform UK and winning.

Reform: 47 Lib Dems: 32 Cons: 13 Lab: 12 Grn: 11
Week-in, week-out, up and down the country, Liberal Democrats are winning in real elections.
We've gained seats from Reform UK, the Conservatives, Labour and the SNP. And we've won in Keir Starmer's and Mel Stride's backyards.
Liberal Democrats are the only party taking the fight to Reform UK.
A stonker of a night for us. Three huge wins, Reform nowhere near us and the Tories down to ten percent in Mel Stride’s own seat.
We are the only party taking Farage on and the only party beating him.
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

If you share those values, now is the time to join the Liberal Democrats.
After a lifetime supporting Labour I joined the Lib Dems, I still like and respect many in Labour, I love one, my wife! But I became increasingly frustrated with the top down management of Labour. I want an evidence based, non dogmatic, non vested interests, compassionate politics. Join us.
Robert Jenrick thinks that he can tell how well integrated someone is based on the colour of their skin.
That appalling prejudice should have been called out by his leader, but she is too weak.
The Conservatives are becoming indistinguishable from Reform.
YouGov Poll - Liberal Democrats draw level with the Conservatives - both parties on 17%.
There are people right across our country, who have voted Conservative all their lives, but are now switching to the Liberal Democrats.
Farage has caused so much damage to our country.
And yet he is never held accountable.
Proud of our leader.
Musk must be condemned for his inflammatory remarks.
Daisy is so right.
Here in Nottingham, Reform has tried to silence the Post from asking questions about their administration of Notts County Council.
We are different from Reform. We are community politicians, we get things done in our local areas.
We care about the NHS and care, whereas other parties like Reform stay silent.
Our leader is right. We need to care.

Ed is right. We need to rebuild trust with our friends in the EU.
Negotiating a Customs Union with them is a good first step which we can make while taking the British people with us.
We're now ahead of the Tories in the polls.
This deal doesn't require joining the CU or SM.
That would be better, but this deal would at least mean we had the economic growth to avoid cuts to welfare.
We hope @julietcampbellmp.bsky.social will join us in supporting it.
