Normalising mass killing should not be rewarded, and banning Israel from Eurovision is the least we can do. LDFP are dismayed at Ed ignoring the genocide of 70,000 Palestinians (347 since a so-called “ceasefire” was called.) Ed’s statement does not represent the views of our members and supporters.
"There is a ceasefire in Gaza and therefore this action is the wrong thing"

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey hiding behind the pretend 'ceasefire' (which is the point of it) & saying its wrong for countries to boycott Eurovision. Pathetic. Supporting BDS is the very least anyone can do

Freezing of repayment threshold for graduates from 2027 is a further stealth tax and an attack on young people who will have less income as they start in life. It’s a tax on opportunity, raising over £1.2b for the Treasury from 2027-2031.

This is botched Budget, from a government that is hiking taxes on ordinary families instead of going for growth by fixing our trade with Europe.

At their Cabinet meeting last night, councillors confirmed the suspension of the Council’s social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

From today, we will no longer use that channel to promote the council’s news or respond to comments or questions on that platform.

Brexit has cost each and every one of us £3,700 a year.

But instead of solving the problem, Labour are using Brexit as an excuse to raise your taxes.

My message ahead of the Budget: Stop blaming Brexit and start fixing it!

💬 “Israel’s right to security must go hand in hand with the Palestinian people's right to self-determination - only then can lasting peace be achieved.”

Yesterday, @libdems.org.uk parliamentarians met the Israeli Policy Working Group for an insightful discussion hosted by Baroness Northover.

The Chancellor must follow through with her hints and scrap the two-child benefit cap at the Budget.

Doing so would lift more than 250,000 children out of poverty.

The Government has a moral duty to act.

Three big Lib Dem wins in this week's by-elections.

Last night in Mel Stride's Devon constituency, Liberal Democrats GAINED a seat from the Conservatives - the Conservatives dropped to just 10% of the vote.

And two great wins by our teams in Bath and Hampshire.
