Our hospices have been pushed to the brink.

Hundreds of beds lie empty because there is not enough funding or staff.

Liberal Democrats have a plan to save our hospices.

Elon Musk is stoking far-right extremism on our streets.

The Prime Minister should order a security assessment of the threat Musk poses to our democracy.

There are two futures for UK energy:

Farage’s Trump-style Britain of high bills & climate chaos — or the Liberal Democrats plan, investing in the cheapest, cleanest sources of energy.

Let’s choose progress.

Israelis and Palestinians have suffered unimaginable trauma. Much of it will never be healed.

But today they can at least begin to hope that their children will go free of this appalling cycle of violence.

Horrified and appalled by the attack outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

My thoughts are with the victims, our brave emergency services and the entire Jewish community.

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. Back our petition to say no to digital ID cards.

He was an athlete in his youth, holding the British 100m sprint record from 1967 to 1974, a superb and respected foreign affairs spokesperson, and always spoke effectively.
He will be missed.

He helped build it up to its strongest performance in the polls, before Nick Clegg, in the interests of stability, led the Lib Dems into a coalition with the Conservatives.

RIP Sir Ming Menzies Campbell
1941 - 2025
Ming Campbell was the epitome of liberalism - intelligent, caring, straight as a die. As leader for two years following Charles Kennedy, he brought much common sense to the party.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.
