@cesea-libdems.bsky.social For those candidates knocking on doors of HKBNO residents. Facts - Lib Dems have a total of 5 HK born Councillors. Also produced the 1st HKBNO Councillor.
Lib Dems are represented by a bird logo. Tick on that.
Jimmy Laiβs imprisonment and persecution at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party is an outrage.
The Prime Minister should summon the Chinese Ambassador today, and demand Jimmy Lai's immediate release and the quashing of this trumped-up sentence.
Lib Dem leader Ed Davey hits the nail on the head π

The shockwaves from the Mandelson affair and the revelation at PMQs have rocked the Labour Party and posed serious questions for the Government.

No matter where you are in Scotland, you can elect a Liberal Democrat MSP on the peach-coloured regional ballot in May.
Every vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats on that ballot will deliver change with fairness at its heart.
Really critical deadline for your postal vote!
Delighted that in addition to Vice President,
VIctoria Collins, the following amazing MPs are speaking at our event. Luke Taylor, Will Forster & Al Pinkerton. @libdemwomen.bsky.social

(also, just as a matter of fact/basic national accounting, tuition fees at overseas branches of UK universities aren't exports and don't contribute directly to any export target! There may be a small indirect contribution but miniscule compared to foreign students studying in UK)
In any other context, requiring a high-productivity sector to offshore the production of its highest value-added exports would be seen as the economic illiteracy it so obviously is...

Despite the eye-watering sums, the extra Β£3bn and 20,000 extra NHS staff since 2019, outcomes arenβt improving, and waiting times are stubbornly high. The SNP is out of ideas, and has its priorities skewed. Itβs all very well to talk about record investment but if that money is not getting to where it needs to be, then we might as well burn it. - Jamie Greene
Scottish Liberal Democrats are clear that Scotlandβs NHS needs fresh ideas.
We believe the problem lies in the crisis in social care which keeps patients in hospital when they should be home.
If we get that right, we can alleviate the pressure on A&E, waiting times and GPs.
CESEA Candiates out in their communities campaigning hard.

Lisaβs son John McNab was tragically stabbed to death in Leith.
She has channelled her grief into distributing 'bleed kits' and training people to use them so that lives might be saved in the future.
Today she delivered one to my office and trained my staff and I to use it.
I raised the need for governments to work together to support hospitality, leisure and retail businesses facing pressure across the UK.
Itβs that time of year! Look out for news of our LNY dinner event in February

Itβs so important to recognise and celebrate the contributions of fellow healthcare professionals.
This is why I have nominated my colleague, Samantha Thomas for her work on delay diagnosis of cancer claims at the forthcoming Black Heathcare awards.
