Liberal Democrats believe in empowering people: whether it’s carers who feel exhausted and unheard, families struggling to get support, or communities failed by water companies.
It’s why we’ll continue to stand up to Nigel Farage as he tries to import Trump-style politics here.

We need to ramp up our industrial base and get serious about Scotland’s defences.
The world has become a more dangerous place, but if handled correctly, this can be an opportunity for Scottish jobs and Scottish industry.

Nigel Farage described the ban on handguns brought in following the Dunblane school shooting as "ludicrous" and a "kneejerk reaction".
This is the man Lord Offord wants to put into Downing Street.
