Fuel prices up. Food prices rising. Holidays under threat. The PM was right not to follow the Conservatives and Reform into backing Trump’s illegal war in Iran. He must now form closer ties to Europe or leave Britain at the mercy of Trumpflation. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

The King’s Speech is timid, unambitious, and merely tinkers around the edges. We need bold action to save our NHS, support small businesses and turbocharge our economy. @libdemdaisy.bsky.social

Today's #WorldMEDay is focused on medical education, but awareness must lead to action. I’ve heard directly from people living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis just how devastating this condition can be, and how difficult it is to access the right support, if any at all. 1/3

We all know a closer relationship with Europe would turbocharge our economy. Yet the Prime Minister's 'fresh start' is far too weak and unambitious. It's time for a UK-EU customs union.

You won't hear it from the media, but the Liberal Democrats just had an incredible set of results. We held off Reform, won more councillors than the Greens and trounced the Conservatives Right cross the country people are backing us to deliver the real change they deserve. 🔶

The Liberal Democrats win 17 seats and retain control of Cheltenham Borough Council.

Last week, I attended a screening of documentary film ‘The People’s Emergency Briefing’ at Park Campus. The film is designed to raise public awareness of the climate and nature crisis, and features leading experts and public figures. As an environmentalist, it was a privilege to attend.

Don't forget your photo ID...

Fun fact - the only reason there no elected Conservatives left in Cheltenham is because they were all defeated by Liberal Democrats. Not by the Greens or Labour - every single one was beaten by a Lib Dem. Something to bear in mind when you vote tomorrow....

It's clear - the tactical vote to stop Reform UK (almost!) everywhere in Cheltenham is the Liberal Democrats. See for yourself 👇 and vote Lib Dem on Thursday. stopreformuk.vote/local/chelte...

Meet some of the people who made it through Reform UK's candidate vetting process, a process that the party likes to boast about being very rigorous

Maternity services are failing women. Mothers and babies deserve better. We are calling for a maternity commissioner, safer hospitals, one-to-one midwife care, and a consultant on every ward 24/7.

It looks like Farage has been bought out by foreign Bitcoin billionaires, but he’s deluded if he thinks the British people will stand for this. From lobbying for crypto tax cuts to online bitcoin stunts, it seems Farage is only interested in lining his own pockets

Great summary of some of the things Cheltenham's Lib Dem council has achieved in the last two years 👇

We must protect our democracy from foreign interference. That means banning donations from anyone linked to foreign governments. It means no politician should profit from a platform like X. It's time to close these dangerous loopholes.

BBC Politics asked me about Liberal Democrats’ chances at the elections on the 7th of May. We’re going to be strong contenders where we’re competitive against the Conservatives, & in many parts of the country we are now the only contenders against the divisive politics of Nigel Farage & Reform.

The Conservatives and Reform backed Trump’s idiotic war in Iran. Since then, it’s dragged down the economy, driven up inflation, and now the US is openly questioning British sovereignty over the Falklands. This is what sucking up to Donald Trump gets you.

Labour are sitting on their hands as people struggle with a cost of living crisis turbocharged by Trump's illegal war. We have a plan to help cut costs, right now.

When you work in a role as fast-paced as that of an MP, you find yourself moving very quickly from one thing to the next. And there’s always more to do. That’s why I find it important to take stock of what’s been achieved and the impact all that work has had to date. 1/2

An update on last night’s votes in the House of Commons.

🔶 LIB DEM WIN - CUTTING YOUR BILLS ✂️ The Government has finally listened to Ed Davey and announced they will break the link between gas prices and electricity prices. Electricity from solar or wind is now much cheaper than gas. But people aren’t seeing the benefit of cheap renewable power.

🗳️Where it matters, at the ballot box, we are the party taking on Reform UK and winning across the country. This 7 May, we're set to make our record eighth set of consecutive local election gains. ↗️
