Only 3% of our wildflower meadows are left. Please share this post if you agree we should give pollinating insects a fighting chance by growing wildflowers in our gardens, communities, towns and countryside, and by avoiding pesticides and weedkillers 🐝

What a beautiful shot - can see this in my minds eye when having visited some lovely wildlife places 🥰

Balloon and lantern releases create litter and #plasticpollution in landscapes and seas that can harm the environment, wildlife and livestock. Celebrate special occasions and loved ones by planting trees, wildflowers, or bee and butterfly gardens instead! Pic via Keep Britain Tidy

Please say no to plastic grass. This ugly stuff removes food & shelter for wildlife including bees, butterflies and birds; has a high carbon footprint; sheds micro-plastics which wash into our rivers and seas. Create a wildlife-friendly space instead. More littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/gra... 🐝

A friendly reminder 🕸️⚠️ Fake spider webs can pose a real danger to autumn #wildlife such as hedgehogs, birds, bats and many insects who can become trapped and unable to break free. 🕷️ Help wildlife this #Halloween by making sure your celebrations don't become frightful for nature! 💚

What the Tories did to our nation is probably irreversible. They broke everything, tore down, everything, dismantled our public services and our communities. Never forgive, never forget.

I so agree with this approach - as the sun shines & the wind blows, let's capture it and share the green energy across the UK, rather than relying on fossil fuels, with prices dictated by powers who decide to start a war. www.libdems.org.uk/news/article...

There is nothing... > cheap or green about oil and gas > fiscally responsible about tax cuts for the richest > pro-business about backing Brexit > tough about cutting support for NEETs > anti-Reform about aping their divisive rhetoric Kemi's contradiction Conservatives are living in fantasy land.

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.

A Tory Government would set the green agenda back years, as well as make us more dependent on expensive fossils fuels for years to come. Solar would help to bring down household bills from day one of any solar installations. bylinetimes.com/2026/10/05/c...

The Tories really are Climate Change deniers. Shocking!

This is pure madness! Three things cause concern when new homes are built 1) lack of community infrastructure 🏥🦷📚 2) failure to deliver affordable homes 🏠 3) homes without solar/low carbon measures ☀️ Tories have this v wrong www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The motion passed at Green Party Conf' actively undermines a 2-state solution, and does not address the rising threats of Islamophobia and Antisemitism here in the UK. This is a divisive motion that pours fuel on the fire of tensions in the UK, and will leave many British Jews feeling less safe.

So both parents could be earning £99K and they would qualify. I didn't think the Tories liked benefits! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Byline Times’ chief reporter has been blocked from attending the Conservative Party conference, just weeks after leader Kemi Badenoch called Reform’s decision to bar several journalists from their own conference “authoritarian” and an attack on the “free press”. bylinetimes.com/2026/09/30/k...

This is such a good news story - we need to move forward with our renewable energy and embrace the benefits to biodiversity it can bring. #solar #bees #biodiversity #nativeflowers #renewables

“Fixing our relationship with Europe is the only way to get our economy back on track.” At Liberal Democrat Conference in Brighton, Ed Davey made the case for closer ties with Europe to bring down barriers to trade, expand opportunities for young people and strengthen our economy.

I’ve added my name to call for a healthier, more affordable food system for everyone – add yours too! www.recipeforchange.org.uk/we-are-fed-up/

So this is what is has come to - the Conservative Party are now banning candidates from standing in elections who don't believe we should be trying to meet our 2050 net zero target or that we should be signed up to the ECHR - watch out any sitting Tory MP who thought they were in a safe seat!

Is it right that one person can have so much power? So much for being a democratic country! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The People's Emergency Briefing is certainly worth watching - it really brings it home that the Climate & Nature Crisis is not an idle threat to how we need to change the way we do things on this planet, but a real necessity for future generations.

This is such a simple solution with the technology being proven in many other countries. Why are our Governments so resistant to doing the right thing? With a record breaking summer they need to wake up before it's too late 😖

So proud of Chelsea Whyte - #LiberalDemocrat Parliamentary Candidate for #Runnymede & #Weybridge

A big thank you to Sainsbury's in Wareham for taking disposable BBQ's off of their shelves 🎉 In hot, dry conditions like this summer, these disposable BBQs are a major preventable ignition source. Try using a fixed or reusable BBQ in a safe, designated area, or swap to a picnic or cold meal instead

Something wonderful among the cesspit of social media - thanks for posting @lucagalletti.bsky.social

It's beyond belief that Farage can resign & then stand in the byelection in the same breath. For someone complaining about media attention it seems a rather strange way to get the media off his back. Perhaps he should use his £5m to fund the election, instead of tax payers footing the bill!

MPs shouldn't be able to pocket huge payments from TV channels without treating them as political donations. If money is used to support or influence politicians, it's political funding, and it must be declared and regulated.

Stronger together 🇪🇺🇬🇧

Climate change is real. Climate change denial makes rich people richer. There's one of your many problems.

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

I was amazed but maybe not surprised that the 7AM #Radio4 news this morning had no mention that it's 10 years since the UK voted for #Brexit. It has contributed greatly to the divided Britain we have today & removed opportunities for so many. www.runnymedelibdems.org.uk/news/article...

It's been a long haul but bit by bit the lies and promises that many of us knew at the time of the #Brexit vote are being exposed. Well done to #MichaelHeseltine & #TheIndependent

It's 4 years since I brought a motion to Runnymede Council to ask for support for The Great Big Green Week. And it's happening again this week right across the country. Have a look and see how you can get involved. www.runnymedelibdems.org.uk/news/article...

"The fact that the party which is leading in all of the national opinion polls is now using the sort of rhetoric previously reserved for the very fringes of the far-right is deeply alarming – as is the fact that this rhetoric is being publicised and normalised by Reform’s media supporters."

As the Champions League final kicks off today, millions of football fans are being priced out by TNT Sports locking it behind a paywall. While the PM has politely asked TNT to make it free, I’m calling on the government to change the law and guarantee these games are always free-to-air!

Our current First Past the Post voting system really needs to change. When you look at some results from the recent local elections most people who voted did not vote for the elected candidate. How can that be fair? No wonder some can't be bothered to vote at all!

Reform UK group, which was elected with 28 members in May 2025 in Cornwall, is now down to 21, a loss of a quarter of its elected councillors. No wonder people are getting fed up with politics 🤬

www.libdems.org.uk/fairvotes Our current electoral system, First Past the Post, robs millions of voters of voice. It results in many voters being ignored & silenced by a political system that is supposed to represent them. LibDems have been fighting for a better voting system for decades.

Liberal Democrats are clear: new housing must go hand in hand with new GPs. We will ensure that no community is left overwhelmed.

Liberal Democrats get things done. We don’t do division. We do potholes and police officers, church roofs and clean rivers. We focus on the local issues that matter to you. Vote Liberal Democrat on 7th May.

Cut rail fares. Cut bus fares. Slash fuel duty. Our plan to cut the cost of living and Keep Britain Moving. ⬇️

This really does make me think of summer ☺️

The Government has agreed to incorporate @MaxWilkinson.bsky.social's Sunshine Bill into their Future Homes Standard. All new homes from 2028 will come with solar panels. This will reduce bills for owners, reduce pressure on the energy grid and fight climate change. It’s a Lib Dem win-win-win.

We care about the people we serve, the communities we live in and the country we love. Today I launched our local election campaign with our amazing activists. Together we’re standing up for our local communities and against the politics of division. 🔸

The United Kingdom is at its best when we’re true to our values: tolerance, decency, respect for individual freedom and the rule of law. We can't let Nigel Farage throw that all away by turning Britain into Trump’s America. Choose a brighter future with the Liberal Democrats.
