Weโ€™re suing Farageโ€™s Reform in the High Court | Good Law Project Update (25 March 2025): Weโ€™ve just filed a landmark legal claim against Reform UK at the High Court.

I just donated to the Good Law Project for their latest challenge to reform. I'm a regular supporter because I think it's important that political parties are held to account generally. But specifically, I think Reform break every rule and don't give a damn.

A message from Christine Jardine on International Women's Day Reflecting on the yearโ€™s International Womenโ€™s Day theme of โ€œaccelerate actionโ€, I am sadly reminded of how much more we still need to achieve.

"The fight for equality continues. Liberal Democrats will keep pushing on these issues and others, to deliver the positive future that all women deserve."

JD Vanceโ€™s comments are deeply disrespectful to all those who have bravely served in the British Armed Forces, including those who paid the ultimate sacrifice and sadly did not return home.

We are on the verge of a historic betrayal of Ukraine by the United States.

The Government must seize the tens of billions of pounds worth of Russian assets in our country and use them to support Ukraine.

This is a wake-up call for all those cheerleading Trump in our country.

We will gain nothing from sitting in silence and hoping that he does not pick on us. We must stand up for Britain and stand with our European allies.

Ofgem increases its price cap for a third consecutive quarter

10% hike in October

What part of โ€œprice capโ€ doesnโ€™t Ofgem understand?

Starmer has the backing of Britons to stand up to Trumpism. At the White House, he should do so | Polly Toynbee The PM will not and should not pick a fight with the president. But it is his duty to go there upholding British and European values, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

โ€œIn a continent losing the security we relied on all our lives, trade disputes become trivial, Brexit an irrelevance. Merz is calling for Europe to come together in foreign, trade & security policy. Starmer ought to seize the chance and abandon fears of Brexitersโ€

This is a damning and pivotal point in the relationship. Trumpโ€™s US has become untethered from decency and democracy.

There's no longer any denying it. The US and Russia are now allies, aligned against Europe. And we need to scramble like mad to work out what to do.

When the PM visits the White House next week, he must challenge Trump on his Ukraine lies in the strongest possible terms.

It's alarming to see the leader of the free world parroting Putin's propaganda. Trump spoke in Mar-a-Lago but his words could have been written in Moscow.

Of all the things Elon Musk has said, this is the worst.

We cannot rely on Trump and his shadow president Musk. The UK must boost defence spending and take the lead in Europe.
