A former Hampshire county council Tory leader who claimed more than £15,000 in allowances over six months – despite failing to attend meetings in that period – has won a ceremonial honour for “dedication and hard work”.

LGBT+ Liberal Democrats condemn our party's decision to base internal gender quotas on sex assigmed at birth.

This trans-exclusionary decision is an attack on one of the most vulnerable groups in our society.

Wind power has cut £104 billion from UK energy costs since 2010.⚡

We must make clear the shift to renewables isn’t just good for the planet - it’s a huge economic opportunity.

Continued investment in renewables will cut energy costs, create jobs and boost local economies.

If you're a candidate in the @libdems.org.uk internal elections, or ever have been, please revoke the party's right to use or hold your sex assigned at birth. We have a handy form: 👇

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

Hi folks sorry had a bit of break. Big night for the @libdems.org.uk last night winning 7 of 9 local by-elections. Reform grabbed one from LibDems. Labour, Tory & Greens all lost seats. But it wasn’t a Reform night. Often press parrots reform doing well in local council by-elex so here’s a counter.

Starmer, Badenoch and Farage are all competing to pinch ideas from Donald Trump to make Britain more isolated and insular.

Instead, Liberal Democrats will make the case for internationalism, cooperation and working closely with our allies in Europe and across the Commonwealth.

Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID.

That’s not the kind of country we want to be.

Liberal Democrats cannot support mandatory digital IDs. People shouldn't be criminalised just because they don't want to hand over their private data.

Voters across the country have chosen our community politics over the Conservatives' neglect and disdain.

This is the first time ever that we have beaten both the Conservatives and Labour at local elections, and we now control more councils across the UK than the Conservatives.

Best of luck to all @libdems.org.uk candidates in tomorrow's local elections. 💛
