The transition to secure, green and affordable energy requires action nationally, regionally and locally - and that's where community energy comes in. Lib Dems are calling for communities to have the power to buy and sell energy locally, and to benefit fairly when they host renewable infrastructure.

If Ed Davey put out a statement but refused to attend Parliament, refused any questions from journalists but demanded coverage quite rightly #bbcnews would point that out. Why are different rules applied to Mr Farage?

In the House of Commons yesterday, @vikkislademp.bsky.social added her voice and those of her constituents to the many @libdems.org.uk MPs speaking out against the new EHRC draft code of conduct. 🧡 "State-sponsored repression" is about right. 🥀 We won't stop fighting this until the law is changed.

While other parties abandon environmentalism , Liberal Democrats remain committed to the fight. Our message is clear: if you care about protecting Britain’s nature, we’ll offer you a better deal than anyone else.

Henry Nowak’s family asked us not to use his murder to ‘create further division, hatred or tension.’ Nigel Farage completely ignored them… open.spotify.com/episode/1vWM...

A statement from Sikh MPs on the murder of Henry Nowak.

The Government’s defence plan is months overdue. As threats grow, Britain should be investing in British-made Typhoon jets, backing UK jobs, and strengthening our armed forces. @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social

The Local Government Association will be holding a New Member Induction event hosted jointly with Local Government East for councillors in the East of England on Tuesday 9 June 2026 between 10:00am– 12:00pm www.localgoveasteng.gov.uk/event/region...

The owner of X is calling for violence (again). If you have not stopped using this site already, today is a very good day to do it.

For local businesses wanting to manufacture their products entirely in the UK, like Surelock McGill, rising energy bills are causing a great deal of concern. Today, I asked what the Government is doing to support businesses manufacturing goods and contributing to our economy here in the UK.

✍️ I've written to the Education Secretary to raise serious concerns about how dyslexia and specialist literacy support will fit within the government's proposed SEND reforms.

Quietly, quietly, the UK Supreme Court is embarked on a rollback of the human rights and judicial protections of vulnerable minorities which looks every bit as stark as that of the US Supreme Court.

LibDem spokesman Max Wilkinson argues that most MPs have responded with sensitivity, but he strongly criticises Clacton MP and Reform leader Nigel Farage as an exception, saying that "his actions are divisive, dangerous and fundamentally and un-British.

Today, there will be a vote on my amendment to improve armed forces housing in the Armed Forces Bill. Every person serving our country deserves somewhere decent to live. New Clause 13 would make sure that standard applies across all forces housing #armedforces #military #UKPolitics

Our water industry is broken. Failing customers. Failing our rivers. @carolinevoadenmp.bsky.social on why the UK's privatised water system isn't working and why it's time for real change

Looking at this data, would you think "Yes, X is the one to single out?"

A small but telling detail from the Mandelson papers: the email signatures on government emails repeatedly single out Elon Musk's X for special promotion, mentioning it while omitting mention of other social media services.

This is really sad news. Michael was always a friend of LOP, which was especially welcome in the early days when many on the local council were suspicious or hostile towards the paper's existence.

Every crime in which an ethnic or cultural minority is the perpetrator used to justify repression or worse of minorities. Every crime in which a minority is the victim used to argue for the idea that ethnic diversity is inherently unstable and should be reduced or eradicated.

The Local Government Association is holding an Introduction to council audit committees webinar on Tuesday 9 June, 2:00pm-3:30pm lgaevents.local.gov.uk/lga/frontend...

At the Economy Committee meeting today guests have emphasised financial gains to businesses if #OxfordStreet is pedestrianised well. Good to see agreement that relaxing #Sunday trading needs to happen too to increase shopping footfall. #pedestrianisation #hospitality #business

Henry Nowak's father: "This is not a case about Sikhism. This is not a case about racism. This is a case about murder." Farage: "Nah, it's about racism. Have at it, boys!"

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

The UK pledged £21m to contain the current Ebola outbreak, just 5% of what it spent in 2014. Lindsay Northover, Lib Dem peer, warns that without prevention funding the world keeps repeating the cycle of "panic and neglect." in @devex.com. www.devex.com/news/devex-n...

After years of campaigning for better SWR services, there are glimmers of hope! We're keeping up the campaign for more trains, less overcrowding and investment in infrastructure. You can help by filling in SWR's pre-consultation! www.suttonlibdems.org.uk/news/article...

The Local Government Association has a number of webinars and sessions for new councillors starting next week. Next Tuesday, 9 June, there is an introduction to council Audit Committees and an induction meeting for those in the East of England. www.local.gov.uk/our-support/...

Luciana Berger, "Nigel Farage's £5m gift was connected to his work of delivering Brexit, and that is political activity" Danny Kruger, "No.. It was unrelated to any serviced rendered or services to be delivered" Nigel Farage, "It was given as a reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years"

Ukraine is under a massive Russian attack right now. Drones are everywhere, missiles have been launched, and they are expected to reach our airspace soon. It's going to be a bad night. Please keep us in your thoughts.

@mariecgoldman.bsky.social led the charge of @libdems.org.uk MPs speaking out against the new draft EHRC code of practice in the House of Commons earlier today. Thank you to Marie and all our MPs who contributed. 🧡 We will keep fighting this, until the law is changed.

Will Labour close the ‘Trump loophole’ in its political reform plans?

Today marks the beginning of #PrideMonth 🏳️‍🌈 It’s a moment to celebrate the contributions of LGBTQ+ people across Newbury and West Berkshire, & recognise the achievements of generations of campaigners who have fought for equality.

Very proud of my friends on @pluslibdems.bsky.social for preparing their briefing to our MPs on the EHRC, and for our MPs to turn up today, having listened to trans people to oppose Labour's trans toilet ban. And shame on Labour for doubling down with this cruel, unworkable plan.

Pastor Mark Burns: Being here in Ukraine, with the people, I can say that propaganda from Russia is very real — and how it’s used in Christian conservative circles to essentially dislike Ukrainians. And so when I saw with my own eyes that Ukrainians do love God, are not racists,

Our democracy is under threat. From the Kremlin to Mar-a-Lago, powerful men are trying to destroy our great country. Our new laws would ban foreign money, block foreign ads, and stop tech giants like Elon Musk buying influence. We need action now. Only our party is offering it.

Lambeth Council Extraordinary Meeting due to start at 7

The Equalities Act is one of the most significant achievements in modern British history, we must make sure the wording reflects the spirit of the law and protect trans people. www.facebook.com/share/v/1H7P...

👀 A quick look at just a few of the almost 1,000 cases my team and I resolved on behalf of North Cornwall constituents last month. 👇 As always, please drop me an email to get in touch with any issues, questions, or casework I can help with. 🙂

Good to be back in Westminster after last week's recess! The government has brought forward a raft of legislation for this new parliamentary session following the King's Speech, beginning today with the second reading of the Health Bill.

Our democracy is under threat. From the Kremlin to Mar-a-Lago, powerful men are trying to destroy our great country. Our new laws would ban foreign money, block foreign ads, and stop tech giants like Elon Musk buying influence. We need action now. Only our party is offering it.

Today marks the start of Pride Month.🏳️‍🌈 This month, while we celebrate the hard-won progress made towards LGBTQ+ equality, we must also recommit to tackling discrimination - including finally introducing a trans-inclusive conversion therapy ban to put an end to this abhorrent practice.

The government is talking tough on water, but delivering very little. I told the Mail exactly this.

Marie Goldman, Lib Dem Equalities spokesperson describes code as ‘exclusionary, expensive and unworkable’. Notes downsides for GNC cis women including those with mastectomy being challenged, as well as exclusionary approach to trans people.

Goldman describes Code as ‘UnBritish’ and reiterates call for post legislative scrutiny of EA and GRA

Layla Moran: Talks about hate crimes against trans people getting worse as result of guidance. Asks Minister - what if she's wrong and things do get worse for trans ppl? Minister: We already had a consultation, you can talk to the EHRC. Must 'uphold' the law re single sex spaces

And that's done - honestly I was shocked at how positive that was (relatively speaking). Most of the contributions were slamming the guidance. Lib Dems absolutely smashed it, most of the best contributions were from them, they really showed up in force.

Charlotte Cane Lib Dem MP: talks about constituent cancelling hip operation due to fear of being policed. Talks about people living in gender for decades now afraid of being outed at work. Really nice statement.

Josh Babarinde Lib Dem MP - slams practice, calls out inclusive Lib Dem women. Very strong statements - Lib Dems have really turned it out today!

Vikki Slade Lib Dem MP: 'State sponsored repression' - highlights absurd double bind of trans MP. 'Where is the human rights/privacy of trans ppl in all of this'? Minister: Sex policing must be done sensitively. Waffle waffle 'sensitively and proportional'
