The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...

The polls have just opened so remind your friends and family in the UK to go and vote.

Vote for a Fair Deal. Vote Liberal Democrat.

I kinda feel like now that the Supreme Court has declared it legal for a president to straight-up murder people they don't like, it's probably even more important to not elect people who seem extremely inclined to murder people they don't like

No matter how long we've been away, we still care about the UK. Some of us want to go back one day; others have friends & family who need and deserve better.

You can make a difference. Vote for a fair deal tomorrow, for you and for them.

We're hearing from many whose vote won't get back in time, from as near as Belgium

We're angry, as the Conservatives ignored our proposals to improve voting from abroad

We'll continue our campaign to fix it and need your help. Tell us about your abroad voting experience: www.libdemsabroad.or...

The Tories and Labour don't want to rejoin the Single Market. We do.

2.1 million more Brits abroad have the right to vote at this election after changes in the law.

Register to vote before Tuesday's deadline. Vote for the party that has a clear plan to rebuild EU relations.

2.1 million more overseas voters have an historic opportunity to show the Tories the door. Claim your right to vote and vote them out on July 4th.

They say their plan is working. We shudder to think what things would look like if it wasn't.

Don't delay, register to vote today.

FT: "Will the UK’s rejection of EU overtures on youth mobility last?"

Tories: Yes, let's punish young people more
Labour: Yes, we want to win votes
LibDems: Please no, give young people opportunities to live abroad and broaden their experiences.
