Waiting for the Mainstream Media to run wall to wall, 24 hour rolling news about @eddavey.libdems.org.uk electoral success, rather than endlessly fawning over Nige.

I'm so happy to back Josh for Party President, we need to build on all the hard work already done, and turbo charge our party towards 100+ seats.

Voters need to know what the Lib Dems stand for: what three key things would be different under a Lib Dem government. Today, no-one really does.

We have a duty of care to speak out against the Online Safety Act We are the party of civil liberties - that is what, we would argue, should be an uncontested fact. From the Snoopers Charter to campaigning for equal rights for minority communities, it is the raison ...

The entire board of Liberal Reform writes for Lib Dem Voice - and I agree with it.

Are We Underestimating the Lib Dems?
Are We Underestimating the Lib Dems? YouTube video by TLDR News

Are we underestimating the Lib Dems? Not only are they popular they have popular policies too...votes are seeing them as an alternative to the major parties. They are likely to push further on the Environment, stealing climate conscious voters from other parties.

Without fixing social care, this NHS plan could be the most expensive sticking plaster in history.

It appears Labour are borrowing from the Conservative playbook - ignoring the social care crisis because itโ€™s just too hard.

Without Yusuf, Farage will find it even harder to increase Reformโ€™s popularity The reversal of Reformโ€™s Doge-style unit could be viewed as a step back to the less disciplined age of Farageโ€™s party

Piece by me on why the sudden departure of Reform chair Zia Yusuf is both symbolically important and could hamper Nigel Farageโ€™s big project of Lib Dem-ising his partyโ€™s election machine.

"My fear is that Starmer stops there."

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey welcomes the EU reset deal but stops short of backing a return to free movement.

The most interesting thing about this advert is that Labour now feel the need to acknowledge Davey as a serious competitor.

It suggests they believe the recent Lib Dem polling boost is real.

The UK must talk tough and not cower in the corner hoping that Donald Trump isn't mean to us. That starts by preparing for retaliatory tariffs and, in trade talks especially on services having other options on the table to show we're prepared to walk away.

Build HS2 to Manchester and HS3 to Leeds and Newcastle, then.
Tinkering around the edges won't solve the fact that it took me 2.5hrs to get to Harrogate last Friday from Manchester compared to colleagues in London who took 3hrs.

Last night, I was proud to tell my story during a council debate on Violece Against Women & Girls.
Domestic violence is a plague that affects long after the initial violence.
I'm especially proud of @joshbabarinde.bsky.social work in Parliament to make domestic violence a criminal offence.

Cuts are on the way to our health & well-being services.
Claiming the ICB cuts will be admin only will have implications for services that won't be able to function without the support they get currently.
