Trump is acting with impunity in Venezuela, sending a dangerous signal that leaders can be removed by force. The PM must call an emergency UN Security Council meeting. @calummillerld.bsky.social

Starmer must convene the UN security council to hold Trump to account.

Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela. Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe. Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

President Trump has shown, again and again, he can’t be trusted as a reliable ally. The Prime Minister needs to stop hoping for the best and start dealing with reality.

Proud to have pushed in 2025 for a cap on political donations, and hugely proud of my Liberal Democrat colleagues for leading on important campaigns and changes for our country 👏🔸️⭐️ 👇

What do you get a Lib Dem councillor (who hasn’t got much hair) for Christmas? Loving my new cap

Every year, people mock this tree. But I love it anyway. It reminds us that if we stand together in tough times, we can overcome anything. Merry Christmas from my family to yours. 🎄✨

The Liberal Democrats won 106 Council By-Elections in 2025, more than any other party #ByElectionsWrapped 1) LDM 106 2) RFM 104 3) CON 45 4) LAB 36 5) GRN 24

We cannot allow fly-tipping to to continue ruin our environment. The government must urgently clean up all illegal waste sites and instruct the National Crime Agency to take the fight to the criminal gangs desecrating our countryside.

The Liberal Democrats held 82% of seats they defended in Council By-Elections in 2025 #ByElectionsWrapped 1) LDM (82%) 2) GRN (67%) 3) RFM (60%) 4) CON (32%) 5) LAB (28%)

More than 75% of Labour, Lib Dem and Green voters think PM should open talks on joining EU customs union YouGov poll for the Times suggests even 40% of Conservative voters support such a move www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Put simply: without farmers, there is no food - and food security is national security. I will continue to work with farmers and farming organisations to ensure future decisions support food security, rural jobs, and the long-term health of British agriculture. 🧵4/4.

Today’s announcement adjusting the government’s proposed changes to Agricultural and Business Property Relief, is a welcome one. 🧵1/4

Further election delays by the Labour-Conservative stitch up are appalling. The cornerstone of a Democracy is the right for people to elect their representatives and the Government's plan to delay them further is unacceptable. Stop running scared from the ballot box just cus you know you'll lose!!

Donald Trump has made it his explicit policy to interfere in European politics and ‘cultivate resistance’ in the UK and elsewhere. The government should include the US administration in the scope of its investigation.

I'm glad Keir Starmer has listened to our calls for this inquiry following the Reform Russian bribery scandal. Nigel Farage should be the first to give evidence.

We must defend the BBC against those who want to destroy it, and ensure it is strong enough to stand up to political pressure, whether foreign or domestic. The UK Government are holding a consultation on the BBC's Royal Charter, you can take part here 👇 www.gov.uk/government/c...

Massively overdue. Very glad to see this happening Comes a week after a Labour MP in Commons cited Democracy for Sale’s cash for access investigation as evidence of how weak Britain’s are

I'm not sure what is more astonishing. A) Almost 20 years of virtually no wage growth. B) That this isn't the main focus of most politicians to fix. We know what to do: Build more stuff, invest more, keep immigration & reverse Brexit.

Reform is mired in scandals of racism, corruption and Russian interference. It's no wonder more and more people are turning to the positive voice of the Liberal Democrats as the antidote to this divisive politics.

Josh Babarinde, "At the general election people voted to have our NHS properly invested in, for action on cost of living, for cleaning up rivers and waterways" "But what we've seen is a huge disappointment. Lots of promises. Let down in so many ways"

Horrified by the sickening terrorist attack in Bondi Beach. My prayers are with the families of those tragically killed. As Jewish communities come together to celebrate Hanukkah, we must stand together against violence and hate. Light will always triumph over darkness.

🚨A Petition calling for a full, public inquiry into RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN UK POLITICS AND DEMOCRACY has hit the threshold for a debate, but a debate isn’t automatic. MPs need to show support. Email your MP NOW & ask them to publicly support the call for a Commons debate youtu.be/Cnl8MNhwEY0?...

This week, responding to one of the biggest petitions presented to Parliament, I raised concerns about proposals for a mandatory Digital ID. Giving the state the power to demand ID risks changing the relationship between citizen and state — a step we should treat with caution.

I can’t help thinking that when, in future, people ask what UK political leaders said as it became undeniable that US saw European liberal democracy as its no1 strategic foe, Starmer and others will regret that the answer is “not much, shuffled awkwardly, looked at their feet”.

The UK is rejoining the customs union! The Commons has just said so!* *Not really, but the Lib Dems' ten-minute rule bill to do so has just passed, after a 100-100 tie with the deputy speaker casting a tie-break vote to allow the process to go on rather than stop.

What a victory! Today MPs narrowly backed our bill to cut the Brexit red tape and end this economic nightmare. The PM must listen to Parliament and the public, drop his self-imposed red lines and go for growth with a new customs union.

I am deeply sorry to hear of the death of a member of the UK Armed Forces in Ukraine. My prayers are with their family. We stand with them and with Ukraine as they continue to resist Russia’s unprovoked invasion.

BREAKING: The Lib Dems 10-minute rule bill to rejoin the customs union has just passed! After a 100-100 tie the deputy speaker followed convention and cast the deciding vote in favour. It’s unlikely to get government time so probably won't progress - but indicates strength of feeling on this issue

Why are Labour so scared of fighting Reform? Regulating political donations is a win for everybody. Even if Labour thinks that it can somehow attract big donations in the next few years - their opponents are likely to get more.

Donald Trump is taking money away from our hospitals & GP surgeries, and Nigel Farage is cheering him on. We can't let Trump get away with extortion like this, Parliament must be given a chance to vote this deal down.

Ed Davey is the most popular party leader including among progressive voters.

I spoke to @itvanglia.bsky.social about my thoughts on the Budget. While the rail fare freeze and lifting the 2-child benefit cap are welcome, this is ultimately a botched Budget and a missed opportunity.

A senior member of Reform is going to prison for taking bribes from the Russians. We need to keep the stench of Russian interference out of our politics. The Scottish party should now confirm there will be no bags of roubles arriving for them and their colleagues.

The Prime Minister just told me any party leader should want to get to the bottom of this Russian bribery scandal with Reform. He is the Prime Minister and a party leader. Why isn't he launching a national investigation himself?

Lib Dem leader Edward Davey calls for a national investigation into Russian political interference in British politics: "Given Reform won't, he must. So will he know launch a national investigation into Russian infiltration into our politics?" Starmer: "Reform is riddled with pro-Putin propaganda"

This is big news! Let’s give this the attention it deserves! 👏👏👏👏 Thank you @libdems.org.uk ❤️

Nigel Farage continues to stay in Vladmir Putin's pocket. We Lib Dems will continue to protect our democracy.

🎙️ Two media interviews before 9am this morning - first I spoke to BBC Radio Wales a little after 7am on the 28 point "peace plan", Trump's deadline for Ukrainian agreement and what might come next. The segment starts 7 minutes and 45 seconds into the recording 1/2 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Ukraine is on the brink of an historic betrayal by Trump to Putin. Keir Starmer must bring our European allies together to back Zelensky, starting by seizing frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.
