Every person should have fair access to Britain’s green spaces, coastlines, and waterways.

Read our plan to unlock them:

Thousands of miles of disused railways, canal towpaths, and green spaces lie blocked off or forgotten across the UK.

@TimFarron.bsky.social explains the Lib Dem plan to reopen them, creating a national network of green routes for all.

Every day is a good day to point out that 92% of Reform's donations were found to come from figures and groups linked to the fossil fuel industry. @desmog.com

A lot going on here but the statement 'the last thing you need is something that’s really expensive to run & makes your house colder.' is simply wrong. How we best subsidise the complete costs of Heat Pump installation for those in fuel poverty is more complex..

Persuasion UK presented DeSmog’s findings that the party raised £2.3 million between the 2019 and 2024 elections from climate science deniers and fossil fuel interests – equivalent to 92 percent of its funding over the period.

Several sources told The Observer that the Electoral Commission had been given prior notice by a party, understood to be Reform UK, that it had received a donation made in cryptocurrency in recent weeks.
Reform is the only political party in Europe to accept donations in crypto

No one should be stuck in the awful position of waiting months on end for mental health services.

It's time to supercharge mental health care in this country.

👀 👇 this!

Today is World Mental Health Day — a time to reflect, raise awareness, and support wellbeing for all. This year’s theme, “Access to services – mental health in catastrophes and emergencies”, reminds us to prioritise mental health care, especially in times of crisis.

A stonker of a night for us. Three huge wins, Reform nowhere near us and the Tories down to ten percent in Mel Stride’s own seat.

We are the only party taking Farage on and the only party beating him.

The UK’s independent scientific bodies are highly vulnerable to politicisation - over the past 5 months I've been working with @martinmckee.bsky.social to map out their vulnerabilities and it's not good news.

Today our report is published!

Year's worth of British bread lost this decade as extreme weather bites

New analysis suggests that wheat production is down by the equivalent of over a year’s supply of bread for the UK, after extreme weather hits harvests.

The impacts of Climate Change are real & profound and are only set to get worse. Ever wetter winters & warmer Springs & Summers are having impacting our ability to produce our own food, to provide food security resulting in increased economic hardship for our farmers & food price inflation.

Climate change is warming waters & increasing the potential for tropical cyclones which when carried along by & interacting with a roaring ever twisting jet stream seem to be pushing more post tropical storms Europe's way right now. A real challenge for weather forecasting models & weather impacts.

Is the government blocking the publication of a report into the national security threat posed by the climate crisis?

If so, why?

Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey has written an open letter to One Nation Conservatives who feel abandoned by their party urging them to join the Liberal Democrats, following Kemi Badenoch’s conference speech today

British Transport Police's decision to not investigate bike thefts outside train stations where bikes have been left for more than two hours is really concerning. It could effectively decriminalise it.

Together with Lib Dem colleagues I've written to the BTP to get clarity.
