Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:
"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".
Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them
The Chancellor missed a lot of opportunities to turn the corner in today's budget. Freezing tax thresholds will hurt families already struggling, Sussex businesses should have been backed, and crucially Brexit damage is still being ignored. My reaction to the budget👇
The reason I hate the never ending opinion polls on what may happen at the next GE is because I think they're destabilising and damaging to our democracy. Sensible people know these polls are meaningless but the media leap on them, allowing them to set the agenda and endlessly platform Farage.
Graphic showing a laughing Nigel Farage - above are the words Lib Dems defeat Farage's plan to undermine our Human Rights
Liberal Democrat MPs just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.
Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into Trump's America. We won't let him.

Follow the Nerve and take the pulse on UK politics.
The other reason Nigel Farage shouldn’t be trusted to run Britain is he’s a fraudster who stole public money when an MEP
In France, Marine le Pen is barred from standing for election for doing the same thing
And the unswerving patriotic support for Russia

Lib Dems stand for giving everyone better access to nature and the outdoors.
As Mayor of Sussex, I will put the environment at the heart of decision-making, benefiting all our health and well-being.

Here’s an article with my views about why the Chancellor is wrong in her attitude to nature in Sussex - and why we need a strong Mayor stand up for our county.

🌱 Brilliant to see Horsham being recognised as one of the best destinations for garden enthusiasts with more garden centres than any other market town in the UK!
A real celebration of our local businesses and love of green spaces.
phone of an uber driver in an imagined scenario where they are driving passengers to A&E - with passenger requests pinging from the phone including Irene, 72 with a broken hip and a heart attack passenger.
Nobody should have to take themselves to A&E in a life and death situation because they can’t trust an ambulance to arrive in time.
We must end the Uber Ambulance Crisis - means reversing the closure of ambulance centres, and an urgent campaign to recruit, retain and train paramedics.
Keep on canvassing!
Why do we not hear about this from @libdems.org.uk on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @skynewsrss.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social ? An important take on our relationship with the USA. We must hear more from ALL our parties inc LibDems Greens, SNP and Plaid.
Good to see this issue being raised on @newsagents.bsky.social - our petition is vitally important. Please do get as many people to sign as possible. The media knows it’s the elephant in the room. We want plural coverage NOW… no more over platforming. Encourage people to sign the petition
They shouldn’t be getting more coverage than the LibDems and SNP and Greens should be getting equal with them

Best short video I've seen on The Overton Window by Richard J Murphy, Emeritus Prof of Accounting at Sheffield University. Discusses how the billionaire owned media sets the Overton Window, not politicians or the public and how BBC, Sky, ITV repeat and reinforce it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw7O...
I've joined Liberal Democrat MPs in writing to the Environment Secretary about the ongoing failures of Southern Water and their executive pay decisions. It is unacceptable for residents to be expected to pay more and more for such poor service.
