Join us Become a Liberal Democrat member today.

The Conservatives are imploding.

Reform is full of former Tories.

Labour keeps shooting itself in the foot and is in turmoil.

The Lib Dems are the calm sensible alternative:

An edit of a 'Traitors' confessional shot with Robert Jenrick sat in the chair. The caption identifies him as 'Robert' 44, Wannabe PM and a traitor'.

This type of headline is perfect! No-one reads to far into articles and this one says โ€œLook Lib Demโ€™s!โ€ followed by โ€œEd Davy believe in international law etc. What a great guy!โ€
Surprising support for our cause from the (former) Torygraph!

We must fight for a fair society. Scraping jury trials will only lead to more unfair prejudice and concentration of power away from the people, to the state.

Join us today to take a stance

Rachel Reeves holding a red box resembling the Chancellor's Budget box. Various items like a pint of beer, keys, a menu, a coffee cup, and tickets are sticking out of the box. Text on the box reads: "CUT VAT PROTECT OUR HIGH STREETS."

High streets are struggling, with pubs, restaurants and cafรฉs shutting their doors.

Cutting VAT on hospitality and energy would put money back in peopleโ€™s pockets, support local jobs, and give the country a much-needed boost.

Out in Llanedeyrn delivering Rodney Bermanโ€™s health survey reports. Thank you to everyone who shared your experiences of long waiting lists and challenges seeing a GP. @libdems.org.uk believe that Labourโ€™s mismanagement of the Welsh NHS has gone on for too long and we need change

Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump:

The TOP people in the BBC, including TIM DAVIE, the BOSS, are all quitting/FIRED, because they were caught โ€œdoctoringโ€ my very good (PERFECT!) speech of January 6th. Thank you to The Telegraph for exposing these Corrupt โ€œJournalists.โ€ These are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a Presidential Election. On top of everything else, they are from a Foreign Country, one that many consider our Number One Ally. What a terrible thing for Democracy!

Itโ€™s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the worldโ€™s number one news source. We canโ€™t let him.

The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK.

The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.

Three young, smiling children hugging, beneath the text, "Scrap the two-child cap and tackle child poverty."

Three young, smiling children hugging, beneath the text, "Scrap the two-child cap and tackle child poverty."

The two-child limit is cruel, self-defeating and traps children in a life of poverty.

It's time to end it once and for all.

Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID.

Thatโ€™s not the kind of country we want to be.

๐Ÿšซ Labour is pushing ahead with mandatory Digital ID cards.

โš ๏ธ Theyโ€™d be expensive, ineffective and risk criminalising people who donโ€™t have one.
