We don’t do division. We fix potholes, repair church roofs and clean rivers.
We focus on the local issues that matter to you and we get things done.
Vote Lib Dem on Thursday for a local champion who'll work tirelessly for you.

The Conservatives and Reform backed Trump’s idiotic war in Iran. Since then, it’s dragged down the economy, driven up inflation, and now the US is openly questioning British sovereignty over the Falklands.
This is what sucking up to Donald Trump gets you.

And when it comes to fixing the church roof, the Government should start by reinstating VAT relief on repairs to listed places of worship – as called for by the @NatChurchTrust – and restore funding back to previous, higher levels.
Time to scrap the church tax!

Kemi Badenoch sneered at our party for caring about communities and working hard to get things done. Well that's who we are.
Vote Liberal Democrat on 7th May.

The United Kingdom is at its best when we’re true to our values: tolerance, decency, respect for individual freedom and the rule of law.
We can't let Nigel Farage throw that all away by turning Britain into Trump’s America.
Choose a brighter future with the Liberal Democrats.

It’s a small act and I am sure will go unnoticed but I am leaving X. Elon musk and everything from the USA is broken and an a-front to democracy, decency and liberal values.

The bigots, racists and xenophobes will post 'Lest we forget' but have forgotten about the sacrifices of so many non white, non British who served to defend our way of life.
Remember them, all races, religions, colour and creed.

Outdoor education helps build confidence, resilience, and a love of learning and nature that lasts a lifetime.
At Lib Dem Conference, I was proud to put forward our new policy for every child to have the funded opportunity of a week-long residential outdoor education experience.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
RT if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.

More of this from 🇬🇧 politicians please. Why does it take an 🇺🇸 politician to do this? Though doubtless most of our media will focus with “Nigel Farage spoke out against the blah blah in DC today … and now we ask another talking head about the rise and rise of Reform …
