Great session at Colchester Sixth form this week debating with politics students about banning or restricting social media for under 16’s. What’s your view?

@UKPowerNetworks please urgently sort your broken traffic lights on Bergholt Rd which are causing traffic mayhem in the area. You’re the laziest and most incompetent utility provider on the planet. Colchester carnage again thanks to you muppets!

I’ve stepped down from the @LibDemPeers Health frontbench to focus on a national scandal: the 20-year life expectancy gap for those with learning disabilities.
The time for talk is over. My focus now is driving the legislative changes needed to fix this.

I have worked in @UKHouseofLords for over 25 years on the issue of tobacco control. Working cross party we have achieved much: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn08… @LibDemPeers have been strong in support of tobacco regulation since @TimClementJone1 led on banning tobacco advertising

People across the country are turning to the Liberal Democrats as the only party that can stop Reform and elect strong local community champions.
We focus on church roofs, sewage and the cost of living, not copying the Trump playbook of divisive populism.
ALT IMAGE: Ed Davey stands at a podium speaking at a Liberal Democrats event, gesturing with one hand raised. Behind him is a screen displaying the Liberal Democrats logo. Below the image is a Guardian-style graphic with the headline: “Could Lib Dems become the biggest party in English local government?” and the subheading says: The Lib Demś cost of living policies and criticism of Trump could gain them ground.

In huge parts of the country, it's only the Liberal Democrats taking on Reform.
We won’t let the divisive politics of Donald Trump take hold in the UK through Nigel Farage.

When Liberal Democrat councils are doing this well, it’s no surprise even Kemi Badenoch wants a share of the credit.

Lib Dems are clear: children’s wellbeing comes first. Our MPs pushed for faster action and stronger protections online.
The Conservatives chose 21 months of dither and delay,
We must act to protect children now.

The Conservatives and Labour have run our NHS into the ground. People can’t see a GP when they need one and it’s only getting worse.
We are clear: new housing must go hand in hand with new GPs. We will ensure that no community is left overwhelmed.

Since 2015, GP surgeries have had to serve hundreds more homes each, and over a thousand practices have closed.
The result is simple: too many people struggling to get an appointment when they need one.
We are calling for a new approach: no doctors, no development. When new homes are built, they must come with new or expanded GP surgeries — properly funded and ready before people move in.

Liberal Democrats get things done. We don’t do division. We do potholes and police officers, church roofs and clean rivers.
We focus on the local issues that matter to you.
Vote Liberal Democrat on 7th May.
