The Real Agent Orange 🔶

Ed Davey pointing out that we cannot rely on Donald Trump and the need to work closely on a more reliable ally, being our close neighbours in Europe. 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺🇬🇧

Green councils, and some Labour MPs, seem happier to have no new social homes at all than to have too few in a development. Each time they do this, it leaves more people homeless, including one in twenty one children in London.

Ed Davey told the Commons in July what Reform activists were saying on doorsteps. Tonight, we saw ITV went undercover and got Reform councillors and candidates on tape.

My interview with Kumail Jaffer at MyLondon. If chosen as Mayoral candidate I will campaign on fixing London’s police and on cheaper housing, especially for young people who have had the worst time in recent years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSrS...

Global climate change will have devastating impacts for humanity. There is no security without environmental security. There is no point in pretending we can safeguard our national security will ignoring the eco systems on which all life depends. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

💪 Superb GAIN for the LIB DEMS, coming from third place last time this seat was contested, to winning with 37.3% of the votes cast (+22.9%) #LibDems 🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶 #TunbridgeWells

The closure of Bath Post Office is still at the front of my mind. I met with Jack Foden, from the national Post Office team to ensure we find the best possible long-term solution. Both the Post Office and I are agreed that we need a replacement right in the centre of the city.

A great start #LiberalDemocrats conference meeting with Laura Morris from the End Violence Against Women Coalition EVAW to explore how to stop the vile practice of ‘nightlife videos’ and nonconsensual image taking.

If you would like to add your voice to tens of thousands of people thanking RNLI volunteers for their work, 38 Degrees have organised this open letter to express public support (at a time when a hateful fringe have been intimidating & abusing RNLI volunteers) act.38degrees.org.uk/act/rnli-tha...

Three senior Reform figures were involved in those Channel 4 revelations we saw last night. Two have been kicked out. The third is Nigel Farage. Farage should be suspended while this matter is investigated. He has very serious questions to answer.

Since this plan to carve-up Devon was announced, Liberal Democrats have fought it at every turn. I will not pretend we did it alone; the Govt's legal advice changed, and four counties took Ministers to court. Yet the argument they have paused to reconsider is ours.

It was great to be the Alveston Family Village Fair in the company of local councillor, Tony Williams. I’m afraid my axe throwing skills haven’t improved….

People are fed up. Bills are rising, waiting lists are growing and too much feels broken. It’s time to fix our broken politics and put power back where it belongs: with the British people. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Read about LDNC's energy and climate tour with @pippaheylings.bsky.social and The Big Shift Bureau this summer, and why a new form of political leadership is needed from Westminster with cross-party talks to prepare the country for climate change. Read more: www.businessgreen.com/opinion/4535...

Tory and Reform MPs don't like to hear it, but fixing their Brexit mess is the only way to end the cost-of-living crisis. And that means joining the Single Market.

Reform have lost four out of the five seats defended only August: 🔶 2 lost to Lib Dems 🌹 2 lost to Labour ➡️ Reform are losing defended seats at a loss rate of 60% since LE2026.

What a fantastic action day we had in Portishead yesterday! Our team was knocking on doors, delivering leaflets, and chatting to residents. Can't wait for the next one! 🧡

Good luck to everyone receiving exam results! And to those who didn’t receive the results you were hoping for: you should be proud regardless and remember that results don’t define you!

North Somerset couldn't have a better candidate!

C’mon Clacton. Make the 13th of August Bin Day. VOTE COUNT BINFACE to take the trash out. It will be seismic if Count Binface beats Farage and at least a humiliation for Farage if the vote is close. #VoteCountBinface #BinFarage

Many schools in our area closed over the recent heatwave. This was partly due to the fact we are unprepared for such hot summers. The Government needs to invest into proper air conditioning and more cool green space. I made the case to the Minister in a recent chamber exchange.

Got to love Ed Davey

Ed Davey and Keir Starmer condemn racism and those who stoke the flames of division during PMQs. "Racism has no place in our country." "Racism should be called out by every single person who's a politician at any level in this country."

A British-Indian friend told me how Reform activists threatened to take away her family's passports if they get into power. The rising tide of racism should worry us all. And the politicians who are stoking it must be condemned.

From our schools to hospitals to care homes, this country is woefully adapted for increasingly common extreme temperatures. The government must publish an emergency heat plan.

Video: Lib Dems unveil Brexit billboard mocking Nigel Farage On the 10th anniversary of Brexit, the billboard asked the public if they felt better off. #LibDems 🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶 metro.co.uk/video/lib-de...

Today marks 10 years since the EU referendum. I asked the Chancellor to commit to a UK-EU customs union, to cut red tape for her farmers, unlock European markets for small businesses, and lower prices for consumers. Will she? Or will it be left to her successor? #Somerset #Devon #BREXIT

While you struggle with the cost of living, soaring energy bills and rising weekly food costs, one man has made a fortune from the Brexit deal. 10 years on, do you feel better off?

After ten years of the Conservatives’ Brexit experiment, the British public have had enough. Nigel Farage pocketed a £5 million ‘reward’ for the damage he’s caused, while the rest of us are paying for it dearly. It’s time to end the chaos and fix our broken relationship with Europe.

Nice one @libdems.org.uk 👍

The world has changed. So too must our approach. It's time for a bold new deal with the European Union - including joining the single market.

Good to see that Ed Davey is making a clear statement that the Lib Dems want to see Britain back in the EU, but need to pave the way to rejoin. #RejoinEU🇪🇺 #LibDems🔶

Well that’s it …. No more paid work ….. which I guess makes me retired. Now life gets really busy ???? I’ll find out soon 😱

I'm backing the Liberal Democrats' campaign for Fair Votes. Our current electoral system robs millions of voters of a voice. It is time for proportional representation - making seats won match votes cast. Add your name: www.libdems.org.uk/fairvotes

Fantastic support for the Liberal Democrat team in Colliers Wood this morning. Our chances of taking control of Merton are looking ever higher!

Donald Trump is acting like a Mafia boss running a protection racket. "Nice trade deal you got there. Shame if something happened to it." This must be the final straw. We can't reward Trump with a state visit from our King.

Less than 4 weeks to go until the election on 7th May 🗳️ I’m standing in Petworth Division, working with John Cross (Rother Valley) & Yvonne Gravely (Midhurst), your local Lib Demo team for the northern divisions. We’re out every day listening to residents & working for our communities. #votelibdem🔶

Trump, Putin, Farage… your boy took a hell of a beating. Congratulations to the people of Hungary for showing that populist extremists can be defeated – even despite Donald Trump’s best efforts.

A pleasure to help photography Southwark Liberal Democrats local election launch with Ed Davey today at Canary Wharf Library.

Crazy days …..

Friends. Allies. Partners. 🇳🇴🇨🇦🇮🇸🇸🇪🇫🇮🇩🇰

Paris 👍
