Our plan to fix the student finance system and support graduates Our pragmatic, costed and achievable plan that would make a real difference to graduates now, while also fixing the system for the long term.

Very important to campaign on this unfair system

France urges 29-year-olds to get on with having kids Letters sent out by the French government to men and women will remind them of their ‘biological clocks’ that can affect fertility

This is illiberal and won't work. Fix the root cause rather than try to impose behaviours and cause further stress on young people

Hampstead ponds trans access challenge dismissed by High Court The current policy is that trans men and trans women are entitled to use the pond of their choice.

Great news. Fantastic work by all those who supported the cause

FIFA do a peace prize?

On reports that Russia could be readmitted to the G7 under peace plans, Lib Dem Calum Miller MP says:

"Russia must not be readmitted...Putin is a war criminal who is also hell-bent on destabilising Europe and the rest of the international order. A ceasefire in Ukraine would not change those facts."

Reform UK’s former Wales leader jailed for taking bribes as MEP for pro-Russia statements Police say Nathan Gill received about £40,000 from Oleg Voloshyn, alleged Russian asset also under investigation

Shocking, how can we trust this party to run the country?

You're not deep enough on social media, get back in the trenches

If she's not on social media and relies on TV/Radio you'd know very little about him

Someone needs to tell Son Heung-min that Micky van de Ven is copying him

Brilliant result!

Once again showing that it's the Lib Dems taking on and beating Reform where it matters - at the ballot box.

No no, the error in my post.

I'm not against this, I tried to show that in my opening line

I wonder how long before someone can correct the error...

I have no issue with crowd control on the underground but sometimes it is quite odd.

Here at Whitechapel station you have entrances for both directions either side of you, but the sign says to go right for westbound trains and forwards for eastbound

Sam Fender wins the 2025 Mercury Prize for his third album, People Watching "I didn't think that was going to happen at all," the star says, as judges laud his "classic" album.

Some absolutely cracking albums nominated for the prize. Big fan of Fontaines, CMAT, Wolf Alice and Sam.

Very cool for the local fans too, good to see stuff like this spreading around the UK

Three new members, a bunch of new volunteers and hundreds of doors knocked.

I'd say that's a successful day for the Stroud green team! 🔶🔶🔶

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.

In saying that we are going to need biofuel for a fair few applications, we can't go without it

Conservatives would scrap stamp duty, Kemi Badenoch announces The Tory leader says the move would help millions buy a home, in her annual conference speech.

She seems to think that stamp duty, a tax that's only levied on homes that cost more than £300,000, is the reason that young people aren't buying homes

...I think she needs to speak to the average young person in this country

Trans people are seeing fewer and fewer spaces remain open to them.

Please support their right to exist fully and freely in our society, and urge the City of London to stand with them.

Would also recommend VistaVision!

Surely the key thing is that they are non-compulsory

Lib Dem conference isn't all policy papers

Farron. Patriots love their country. Nationalists hate their neighbours.

I’ve written to Ofcom urging them to review the BBC’s coverage of Nigel Farage and Reform to see if it is line with broadcast guidance.

The disproportionate coverage of Farage is damaging to the BBC’s reputation as well as our democracy.

The real reason London pubs are putting service charges on pints Plus: Preposterous London property of the week, Lime insists its e-bikes don't pose a threat to your legs, and Transport for London pays for 24/7 security to keep the homeless away from Park Lane.

This is the direct impact of tip culture on British wages

We don't want to move towards an American model, where a large proportion of earnings come from precarious sources

Tips given for good service, rather than automatically, are the way to avoid this
