People shouldn’t be turned into criminals just because they can’t have a digital ID, or choose not to. We will fight tooth and nail to oppose these plans for a mandatory Digital ID.

Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID. That’s not the kind of country we want to be. Liberal Democrats have always stood up to defend civil liberties against government overreach. We will fight tooth and nail to oppose these plans too.

"I don't want a small minority with right wing extremist intentions to hijack our flag. That's not who we are a a British people." @munirawilson.bsky.social on reclaiming the flag for those who want to reunite and rebuild, not divide and destroy. #BBCQT

Keir Starmer wants to force everyone to have a digital ID. But the Liberal Democrats say that’s not the kind of country we should be. Instead, the government should focus on fixing real problems like the NHS and social care.

Liberal Democrat GAIN over SNP! Congratulations to Connie Ramsay and the entire team in Tain and Easter Ross for a stunning result.

The climate and nature crises are the defining challenges of our time @PippaHeylings.bsky.social shares the Lib Dem plan for protecting communities and delivering climate action.

Ming Campbell was a dedicated public servant and a true Liberal giant. His principled leadership opposing the Iraq War was a mark of his morality, courage and wisdom. But more than that, he was an incredibly warm and caring friend and colleague. We will miss him terribly.

"I don't think people in this country should be criminalised if they don't wish to hand over their personal and private data to the state in order to go about their daily lives." @munirawilson.bsky.social on the government's plans for a mandatory digital ID scheme.

If Keir Starmer doesn’t go to November’s climate summit, it would be an absolute failure of leadership.

Last day of Conference. That's stumps 🏏 Hard to put into words how proud I am of this party. Everyone put in their all and it showed from start to finish. Thank you Bournemouth, and thank you to everyone who made it happen.

This has been a long time thing that really annoys me. The general willingness to report "Party A will give free cookies to everybody on Tuesdays" without inserting "but has given no idea of how on earth it will be paid for". This creates terrible incentives for parties.

The contaminated blood scandal is one of the gravest injustices in NHS history. Decades of delay and denial have left victims and families still waiting for justice, while many continue to die without the compensation they were promised.

Justice delayed is justice denied. Our new policy would ensure that victims are honoured with recognition, dignity and compensation - and ensure no one ever suffers from such injustice again. Read more from @JessBrownFuller www.libdems.org.uk/news/article...

Millions of people are still trapped in England’s broken leasehold system - overcharged and powerless. And nearly a decade after Grenfell, the cladding crisis continues, rogue developers exploit loopholes, and government reforms have failed to deliver real change.

Years of Conservative cuts have hollowed out the legal aid system, leaving millions without access to timely legal advice and creating legal aid deserts across the country. This has forced many into costly, avoidable court battles and denied people their right to justice.

Recognising Palestinian self-determination has been long overdue. It is a welcome step, yet it must be the start, not the end. We need a ceasefire, an end to the cycle of violence and real progress towards a two-state solution.

Our flag does not belong to one creed or to one race. It belongs to one people, the British people. We will not let our flag be used to intimidate.

For too long, weak regulation has let the gambling industry profit from addiction, debt, and family breakdown. Liberal Democrats will hold the gambling industry to account and put people before profits, so that gambling in the UK can be safe, fair, and free from harm.

The gambling industry has had a free pass for too long. Today, Liberal Democrats have passed bold new policy to put public health at the heart of gambling regulation, read more from @maxwilkinson.bsky.social www.libdems.org.uk/news/article...

Across the country, people are being held back not by a lack of potential, but by a lack of access to the training they need to succeed. From care homes to construction sites, clean energy to HGV driving, employers are facing critical skills shortages.

Ed Davey banging the drum for Britain. Liberal Democrats are the only party standing up for Britain as a decent and caring country and taking on the divisive politics of Nigel Farage and the Conservatives.

When people turn to the NHS in dire need, they deserve emergency care where lives are saved and patients can trust that help will come. Today our members have passed new policy to get emergency care back on track, read more from @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social

The challenges facing policing in Britain have never been more complex, yet the system is stuck in the past and at crisis point. Years of the Conservatives mismanagement of our policing service left communities feeling abandoned in the face of crime and anti-social behaviour.

We believe Britain deserves better - a modern, joined-up policing system that prevents crime, delivers justice swiftly and restores public confidence. Today our members have passed new policy to make policing fit for the future, read more from @LisaSmartMP www.libdems.org.uk/news/article...

[email protected] has been a carer for his mum, his nanna & now his son. As he says, most care isn’t in care homes but in our homes, given by families. We’re a nation of carers — but govt rarely sees it that way. Read his foreword to our new report: www.ippr.org/articles/who...

When I was young, being a carer simply wasn’t talked about. We’ve come a long way since then, but government still all too often ignores the millions of carers across Britain. I was proud to write the foreword to this IPPR report calling for real and transformative change.

The UK must lead on the world stage in acknowledging the genocide taking place in Gaza – and advocating for a return to diplomacy.
