Ginny cares for her husband Tim, who has myotonic dystrophy. She works part-time, on top of caring for him every day. Now, under the Government’s PIP changes, they face losing £12,000 a year. Today I asked the Prime Minister: what does he expect carers like Ginny to do?

As someone from an immigrant background, I am deeply insulted by Starmer's comments. This kind of hateful language just demonises and scapegoats immigrants even more.

The most recent YouGov poll says that more 2024 Labour voters would vote Lib Dem (15%) than Reform (12%). Moving to the right is only going to do even more damage to Labour's voter base. On another note, Lib Dems joint first among 18-24 year olds 😍🔶

Amazing that the Lib Dems have overtaken Labour and pushed the Conservatives into third 🔶💪 Although with the attention Reform is getting in the media, you'd be forgiven for not noticing...

Daisy is correct and this is a completely stupid thing to say. How can you say something like this when hardly 10% of Council seats have been called??

The proposal to test trans kids for autism smacks of the politics of RFK Junior. It pathologises two groups that deserve protection by the NHS (trans kids and autistic ones) in an attempt to remove their bodily autonomy. We should all see this for what it is: something that has no place in the UK.

claiming all trans ppl are autistic is functionally the same as claiming all gay ppl are mentally ill. it's about denying queer ppl autonomy and a voice.

Today I spoke in solidarity with trans and non-binary people whose rights are being threatened by this cruel government. Trans rights are human rights 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

New curse just dropped: "You've really Starmered that one up!" And, reader, he really has.

Trans people deserve dignity and safety. The rise in hate crimes, including in North Yorkshire, should alarm us all. Upcoming EHCR guidance must recognise trans people’s existence, prioritise their safety, and inclusion. Equality must mean equality for everyone.

When he came to office, Keir Starmer promised a government that would "tread more lightly" on people's lives. Bridget Phillipson's announcement that trans folks should use the wrong toilets is offensive and ignorant. It shows Labour to be no better than the US Republicans. They should be ashamed.

Thank you for standing up for our community and for our party's values today, Vikki. 💛

There was a huge backlash against this tweet I posted about a year ago from Labour members and activists. I stand by every word I said.

It is so deeply shameful that the Labour Party, which is meant to have traditionally centre-left social democratic roots, is now swinging to the right on many issues, all in the name of appeasing Reform voters. You do not defeat the radical right by appeasing them.

Far from being feminist, assuming people are 'male until proven otherwise' is about as patriarchal as you can get. This Labour government is monstrous. Performative cruelty in a red tie is as bad as performative cruelty in a blue one. Worse, as they led us to expect better. 🥀 We're organising. 🔶✊🏳️‍⚧️

It was lovely to meet with Wavertree residents today with Councillors @carlcashman.bsky.social and Laurence Sidorczuk at our pop up surgery! 🔶🔶

I am increasingly disappointed that the concerns of the #LGBTQ+ community over what the Supreme Court judgement means for them are not yet being addressed. I have written to the Government asking them to make clear how trans and non binary rights will be protected.

For trans people, today’s Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act isn’t just a legal ruling but a decision that creates genuine fear about everyday aspects of life—accessing services, using facilities, and simply being accepted for who you are.

Trans rights should NEVER be up for debate. I am disgusted at the decision made today that will cause huge distress and harm to trans & non-binary people. I will always stand with trans and non-binary people and will always fight for their right to be respected and loved 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

We are studying today's judgement by the UK Supreme Court. Nothing they rule will change our solidarity with the trans+ community and with everyone who seeks to live their lives under control of their own bodies, and free from poverty, ignorance or conformity.

I certainly made the most of the lovely sunshine last week campaigning in Wavertree and Lincoln!

One way to reduce the alarming levels of child poverty that we see in Liverpool is to scrap the two child benefit cap, something that Lib Dem MPs have consistently called for. It is therefore extremely disappointing that only one of Liverpool's 5 Labour MPs voted to scrap it last year.

Amazing Lib Dem hold in one of our 72 Lib Dem constituencies! Turns out the more people hear from the Lib Dems the more they want to vote for us 👀

17% for the Lib Dems is going back to 2000s levels 😍😍

As great as it would have been to have a full slate, the fact that the Lib Dems have improved from 68% in 2024 to 85% coverage this year is excellent to see! Best of luck to all Lib Dem candidates standing for election this May 🔶🔶

A pleasant litterpick in Wavertree Garden Suburb ward after attending the Thingwall Institute's open day!

The government is putting the big banks and gambling companies ahead of disabled people and carers. It is not just cruel, it is a false economy. Ministers must think again.

Lib Dem surge 😍😍😍

My team will put out the video of my PMQs soon - but I am extremely alarmed the PM dodged my question about cutting disabled people’s benefits. Very worrying.

What an amazing result!!! 🔶🔶🔶🔶 The Liverpool Lib Dems held Much Woolton & Hunts Cross with 51% of the vote! Proud to have been part of a positive campaign in the face of shocking nastiness from Labour. A big thank you to MWHX residents for supporting hardworking Lib Dem Josie Mullen 🔶❤️

Hate speech breeds hate and violence. Thank God she survived, but surely the normalisation of transphobia played a part in this. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

This resignation was the right decision. You can't have an anti-corruption minister mired in a corruption scandal. After years of Conservative sleaze, people rightly expected better from this government. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Josie Mullen is kind & hardworking. She passionately fights for equality and a fair deal for Liverpool. Her dedication to making a difference is inspiring. I am lucky to call her a friend. I encourage residents of Much Woolton & Hunts Cross to vote for Josie 🔶💛

Gliding through Woolton today! Just two weeks to go until the big day! 🔶🔶

Out in the freezing cold around Much Woolton & Hunts Cross helping support our amazing candidate Josie Mullen 💛 🥶 @westderbyphil.bsky.social #liverpool #libdems

What an amazing response we had in Woolton tonight! Lots of former Labour voters who are deeply unimpressed by Starmer's government and know the Lib Dems are the best way to kick Labour out in Liverpool! 🔶🔶

People have had enough of Elon Musk interfering with our country’s democracy when he clearly knows nothing about Britain. It’s time to summon the US ambassador to ask why an incoming US official is suggesting the UK government should be overthrown.

Another day, another doorknocking session! Out with @carlcashman.bsky.social, Rebecca and Josie speaking to residents! Lib Dems work hard all year round even when it's very cold! 🔶🔶

First canvassing session of 2025 in Hunts Cross! Lots of people are eager to back the Lib Dems in the upcoming by-election 🔶🔶

We've been out campaigning in Woolton & Hunts Cross, listening to residents' concerns and taking action 🔶🔶 I am proud of our positive campaign and our extremely hardworking Liverpool Lib Dem team ❤️❤️

Team night out bowling 🎳 🔶💛
