But what gives them power is not the appeal of their extremism, but the comfort others have in conformity."

This week my London Liberal Democrat colleagues and I wrote to the Chancellor to demand she use the budget to get urgent funding to the Met Police.

There are so many challenges facing policing in London - and the Govt and Mayor simply aren't equipping them with what they need to keep us all safe.

New Planning Legislation Would Have Profound Impact on AELTC Wimbledon Development…Proposed by Lord O’Donnell, a Director of AELTC A proposed amendment change (Amendment Number 250) to appear after clause 108 of the Planning and Infrastructure Bill is to be discussed next week in the House of Lords on Monday (Oct 27) or Wednesday...

In a shocking move...

Lord O'Donnell - an AELTC director - has sponsored an amendment to the Government's Planning Bill that will directly benefit AELTC and other developers and trash the public's right to public land. More here 👇

UK ready to spend frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine loan Sir Keir co-signed a joint E3 statement with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron

This is something we as Liberal Democrats have long called for. Those who wage illegal wars must face the consequences. I'm proud to see this principle become policy.

Let’s see what the ethics adviser says, but maybe instead of all this jumping up and down, now would be a good time to discuss how we look after disabled children and build a more caring country.

I worked with Janet at the DfE - she was my fellow policy adviser (supporting Lib Dem ministers). She was brilliant and cares more about local government than anyone I've ever met so if you happen to live in her ward do vote for her.

We need to encourage the Council to protect local shopping parades like this (and similar across our borough).

They're vital places where people bump into neighbours, meet friends, shop, grab a coffee or pizza, get a haircut, hang out. Our communities would be poorer without them.

The PM is right to increase defence spending - however cutting international aid is cutting soft power, which only plays into the hands of Russia and China.

@libdems.org.uk believes this money could be raised fairly by raising taxes on social media firms and tech giants.

Starmer ‘to offer EU youth mobility scheme’ in post-Brexit reset No 10 has so far rejected plan, which has proved to be a key sticking point in negotiations

Good to see this! This is the fair deal that young people deserve and something the @LibDems have been pushing for.

After the Tories' botched Brexit, the UK must fix our broken relationship with Europe.

Meet the UK party that thinks Trump-bashing is a vote-winner The centrist Lib Dems hope standing up to the U.S. president will shore up support from progressive Brits.

“Almost every major British political party has bent the knee to Donald Trump. The Liberal Democrats are happy to stay standing.”

If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945.

The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.

Hospitality businesses are being pushed to the brink by the National Insurance hike.

Pubs, restaurants & hotels warn this jobs tax will make it even harder to stay open and keep staff on. The Government must exempt hospitality or risk businesses going under.

Expanding Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton airports will add 92 million tonnes of carbon dioxide to our carbon footprint by 2050.

While we must grow the economy, we must not do so at the expense of the environment.

Ministers cannot allow this to spiral any further and must urgently grip this situation.

That must start with a government plan to winterproof the NHS and make this the last winter crisis.
