The recent Government announcement regarding military home standards is a huge win for our Armed Forces families. After years of campaigning, the Lib Dems have secured legal protections to end mouldy, unsafe military housing - ensuring all service family homes meet the Decent

The Lib Dems have delivered: military family homes will now be covered by Decent Homes law — led by Gideon Amos OBE MP & Olly Grender — ensuring service families have decent, safe homes. That’s what Lib Dems in Parliament do: stand up for those who serve and deliver lasting change.

Great to join over 200 councillors, campaigners and MPs at London Liberal Democrat conference in Southwark College last Sat. I was a speaker on panels discussing recently announced Government cuts to local authority funding, and on holding Labour-run local authorities to account

Notwithstanding our Labour council, our Labour London Mayor and our Labour government, both Merton’s police stations, in Wimbledon & Mitcham, are losing their front counters. What does ⁦the Labour Party⁩ have against Merton & who are ⁦Merton Labour⁩ going to blame?

Both Mitcham & Wimbledon police front counters will close under the Met's new plan & there will only be two 24hr 'public facing' stations left in London. This makes our campaign even more urgent. Sign our petition today to stop these closures! 👇🚨 mertonlibdems.org.uk/news/article/m…

The botched Brexit deal dreamt up by the Farage and delivered by the Conservatives has brought nothing but red-tape and economic misery. The government must now deliver their promised “EU-reset” - starting with a new UK-EU Customs Union.

How low can Conservatives sink? 'Lib Dem leader, Ed Davey, called it “deeply concerning and unpatriotic. People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to ‘go home’. This is their home.”' theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

I once gave Boris Johnson advance notice of my PMQ because I wanted a decent answer on something and wasn’t bothered about scoring points. It all depends on whether you think we’re here to play games or to do something worthwhile.

Team out speaking with people in the roads around Haydons Road this morning - discussing the plans of the Mayor and the Met to close police station front counters. Lots of disappointment with Labour, locally and nationally.

Reform MP Sarah Pochin: “It drives me mad when I see adverts full of Black people, full of Asian people, full of people that are basically anything other than White.” If the colour of someone else’s skin drives you ‘mad’, you are a Grade-A racist.

Ed Davey (@edwardjdavey) 's Twitter Profile Photo

This is racism, pure and simple. It's sad to see the Conservatives are pandering so much to Reform that they are too scared to call it out.

Sarah Pochin’s comments were blatantly racist. Britain is a diverse country, and we should be proud of that. She shouldn’t just apologise, Nigel Farage should suspend her. Daisy Cooper MP 🔶
