(1/2) Today, Senator Kennedy, our namesake and hero, would have turned 100. His legacy continues to live on in our work and in the countless lives he touched. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Senator Kennedy.

Donald Trump is gunning for the BBC, and Farage is cheering him on. Want to know why? Follow the money…

Trump wants to destroy the BBC and Farage is egging him on.

To all those who love the BBC, now is the time to speak up.

Donald Trump is coming for the BBC and for your wallets.

I urged the Prime Minister to stand up for the 23.8 million licence fee paying households, and tell Trump he won't get a penny.

The Prime Minister talks the talk on supporting an independent BBC, but he refuses to walk the walk.

Robbie Gibbs must go.

As MPs finally start debate on the Hillsborough Law, I want to pay tribute to the families and survivors of Hillsborough and so many other tragedies and scandals. This wouldn't be happening without their courage and tenacity.

Now let's make the law as strong as it can be.

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.

On this painful morning, my thoughts are with the families of Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz and with the whole Jewish community who have been the target of a vicious attack on their holiest day.

Unlike Farage, we're proud of Britain.

Britain has problems that need fixing, but we must never forget our strengths, our people and our values.

They are what make this country special.🇬🇧

The ECHR is a British creation that protects us all.

While other party leaders talk about leaving it, rewriting it or watering it down, Liberal Democrats stand firm.

Conservative MPs jeered when I urged the Prime Minister to help end the starvation and suffering in Gaza. Sickening, but they won’t stop me raising this.

‘Some schools don’t even acknowledge they have young carers. You hear stories about them coming in late and being put in detention.’

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk discusses how young carers can be supported with caller Holly, who looked after her sister at school.

I fear we could have a situation where Trump comes to our country, is honoured with a lavish dinner at one of our finest palaces, yet no one reminds him that he has the power to stop the horrifying starvation, deaths and captivities in Gaza.

I'm boycotting the state banquet to send a message to both Donald Trump and Keir Starmer that they cannot close their eyes and wish away the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Donald Trump can stop this catastrophe in Gaza and get the hostages released.

One year on, we still feel the heartbreak of Elsie, Alice and Bebe’s senseless murder.

In the days that followed, despite the fear and uncertainty, so many across our country chose compassion over hate. They showed up, stood together, and reminded us what this country is about.

Until 2000, the Armed Forces had a ban on LGBT personnel, who could be discharged or face criminal prosecution.

Jess Brown-Fuller has won action from the Government to speed up compensation for LGBT veterans who lost their jobs and were stripped of their pensions.

We know the threat Reform poses – to our communities, our democracy and our precious liberal values. We know where their divisive, destructive brand of politics could lead.

Other parties can't or won't stand up to them. It's up to us to be the antidote to Reform's hate and division.

Wera just wanted to visit her son in Hong Kong and meet her baby grandson for the first time. But after a 13-hour flight, the Chinese authorities turned her away – just because she’s a British MP.

So heartless. And totally unacceptable.

"In many cases the friend is worse than the foe" Trump says.

If my friends were Elon Musk, JD Vance, Vladimir Putin and Nigel Farage, I’d probably feel the same way.
