In many constituencies across Scotland, we are on the verge of winning against the SNP. But wherever you are, every vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats on the second peach ballot will deliver change with fairness at its heart.

SEND needs a radical shake-up. We must cap private profits to end the race to the bottom, protect existing support, introduce universal screening for every child, and boost mainstream and specialist capacity so the system truly works for children and families.

It's now clear Donald Trump is trying to bully the government into letting the US use UK bases like Diego Garcia to pursue unilateral military action. Keir Starmer needs to stand strong and give Parliament a vote on the use of UK bases by US forces.

It looks as if the government might have finally listened to Lib Dem calls for a profit cap on SEND providers. For too long the SEND private market has been a rigged racket. Hopefully this change will mark the end of our vulnerable children being treated like cash cows.

I've been out campaigning in Sussex where the local elections are back on! Come join us to help defeat the Conservatives, stop Reform and wipe the smile of Nigel Farage's face in May.

Trump’s endless flip-flopping on the Chagos Islands shows why Starmer’s approach is doomed to fail. Britain can’t rely on the US while Trump is in the White House. It’s time to strengthen our ties with allies we can depend on, starting with our neighbours in Europe.

As Lent begins, I want to send my best wishes to all Christians here in the UK and around the world. I hope this will be a period to pause, pray and reflect on Christ’s sacrifice over the next forty days.

Out campaigning in beautiful Sussex where local elections ARE now going ahead despite the local Conservatives trying to cancel them. Like in so many areas of the country, the Tories and Labour are finished and it’s turning into a fight between the Lib Dems and Reform.

Nigel Farage is welcome to give his colleagues new name badges but it won't change the opinion of the country - that Conservatives, current or former, are totally unfit to govern.

Ramadan Mubarak to Muslim communities in Britain and around the world. My thoughts are with all those observing under the shadow of conflict or hardship. May this holy month be a time of reflection, compassion and charity.

Liberal Democrats are winning again. We are poised to take constituencies off the SNP right across Scotland. In seats right across the Highlands, in Argyll and Bute, Strathkelvin and Bearsden and Edinburgh Northern, it is only the Liberal Democrats who can beat the SNP.

Nigel Farage lashes out at a FT journalist and refuses to answer the question. Is this how Reform UK would ignore media questions if they got into government?

Reform UK's new 'Shadow Chancellor'

I took a pic of alfie from under the door 😭

A Party with 9 MPs gets wall to wall coverage... Meanwhile the #libdems get zero

Helldivers 2 is one of my favourite multiplayer games of all time.

Wishing all those observing this holy month in the UK and around the world a healthy and blessed Ramadan.

Wishing a very happy new year to Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese communities in the UK and to everyone who is celebrating the Lunar New Year. May it be a time of joy and celebration for you and your family.

Not surprising Farage hasn't bothered to announce a health spokesperson - his entire team is populated by politicians who broke the NHS. They've also forgotten about a foreign affairs spokesperson, but I guess they will take their orders straight from Trump's White House anyway.

We cannot allow the Government to cancel elections on a whim ever again. Starmer should back the Lib Dem amendment to strip ministers of this power.

The Conservatives were running scared of the Lib Dems so they tried to cancel the Sussex local elections. There's nowhere left to run.

We cannot allow the Government to cancel elections on a whim ever again.

Liberal Democrats have fought tooth and nail to stop this stitch-up and the Government has been forced into a humiliating U-turn. Labour are terrified of Reform. We are the only party willing to stand up to Farage and beat him, as we do week after week in council by-elections.

Now is the time to be clear about the threats to Britain. Putin’s war in Europe continues, and Trump is eroding the alliances that underpin our security. Defence Bonds would help protect our country and let people invest in Britain’s security.

In many constituencies across Scotland, we are on the verge of winning against the SNP. But wherever you are, every vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats on the second peach ballot will deliver change with fairness at its heart.

To help combat loneliness, we need to breathe new life into our high streets and community centres so people have somewhere to turn up, join in, and share the things they care about with others.

Guardian editorial backs Daisy Cooper's speech setting out our bold plan to break up the Treasury to boost growth 📈

By refusing to even consider a customs union, Keir Starmer himself is the biggest block to closer ties with Europe. Unless he changes that stance, this is all just meaningless blather

When those in public office aren’t properly vetted or held to a duty of candour, public trust is destroyed. There must be no more delays to the Hillsborough Law.

This ruling shows that proscribing Palestine Action was a grave misuse of terrorism laws. Labour must accept its mistake, drop its appeal and stop wasting taxpayers' money on suppressing civil liberties.

We have been fighting tooth and nail to ensure local elections go ahead and that people can have their say. @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk has written to Kemi Badenoch urging her Conservative peers to back our fatal motion - which would block the government's plans and reinstate the local elections.

The £300m that we have secured in a whole host of areas shows just how serious we are about getting stuff done. With the Scottish Liberal Democrats, you get grown-up, sensible politics. You can get more of that by backing us in May on your second, peach-coloured ballot paper.

"The Govt. cancelling elections on a whim further erodes the loss of trust in politics." @AlisonEBennett.bsky.social

Trump is a total moron. The only scam is the one he’s pulling.

your roflcopter suddenly looks a lot less impressive, as i roll up in my luxurious lmaousine

Both Labour and the Conservatives continue to haemorrhage votes in local council by-elections. Plaid Cymru won this seat, but the Lib Dems scored a decent 18% and took second place, from a position of not standing in the previous election in this ward. #LibDems 🔶

Why are we supposed to view Reform UK as a legitimate political threat when they continue to lose by-elections - council or otherwise?

Yet another third place for company with only 8MPs. Sure media will report how they are the real winmers......

What nonsense. GE is 3 years away. Company still has only 8MPs...

Pupils, parents and teachers deserve better than a third decade of the SNP. Scottish Liberal Democrats have a realistic plan to get things done, getting Scottish education back to its best, expanding pupil support in every school and giving every child the best start in life.

We promised that the Scottish Liberal Democrats would squeeze it for every penny to deliver for people across the country. That is exactly what we have done. The £300 million that we have secured in a whole host of areas shows just how serious we are about getting stuff done.

It's time to Get Britain Growing Again.
