I look forward to working with, and listening to, school leaders, teachers and pupils here in South Devon and across the country so we can make education the gift that truly lasts a lifetime.

Pubs, cafés, restaurants, and hotels are the backbone of our economy and communities, but they’re under more pressure than ever before.

@LibDemDaisy.bsky.social explains the Lib Dems plan to restore the British hospitality sector.

A beautiful poem by Dr Ezzideen Shehab. We were treated to a reading of this poem last night at North Devon Palestine Solidarity Campaign's Poets for Palestine event.

It's hard to pick, but here are a few of my highlights from the Liberal Democrat autumn conference, from setting out new ideas to catching up with organisations and fellow Lib Dems to discuss the issues that matter most to our communities 🧡

Yes, not a mention of them... The incumbent Tory has been removed due to non-attendance at meetings, but is standing again as an independent. The Reform candidate stood as a Tory at the last election, and the Tory candidate is from miles away! So it's Lib Dems vs 3x Tories!

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians

The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

@libdems.org.uk are clear that climate action and tackling the cost of living must go hand in hand

We plan to halve energy bills within 10 years, by ensuring people see benefits of renewable energy in their bills, and can access affordable loans to invest in energy-saving measures

Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson Helen Morgan:

"Nigel Farage wants to impose Trump's dangerous anti-science agenda here in the UK. Peddling this kind of nonsense is irresponsible and wrong.

"It seems Farage would rather see pregnant women suffer in pain than stand up to his idol Donald Trump."

We are proud that our party voted unanimously to pass our policy motion, Defending Women's Rights Across the Globe, at conference on Tuesday.

Thank you Care International for your ongoing work championing global gender equality.

CARE International UK @careintuk.bsky.social · 14d

Women’s rights are under attack worldwide & the UK must respond. Yesterday the @libdems.org.uk did.

Championed by @libdemwomen.bsky.social & @monicaharding.bsky.social, we welcome their pledge to put women & girls at the heart of the UK’s global role, dedicating 20% of aid to gender equality.

No one can be left behind in the ‘Just Transition’

Fairness the whole way through and brining people with us- creating new job opportunities and supporting them.
Let’s do the transition away from oil and gas WITH people- not to them!

Farage's one achievement is Brexit, and it's roundly ridiculed.

An overwhelming mountain of policy papers and plans for government. Don't try anyone tell you that they don't know what the LDs stand for, they are choosing to ignore the inevitable.

Fantastic end to #LDConf with @eddavey.libdems.org.uk's speech.

In the absence of either the Tories or Labour standing up to Farage and Reform, it falls to the Lib Dems to stand up for our British values here and abroad. Decency, kindness, tolerance, respect for human rights and the rule of law. 🔶
