Liberal Democrats do best at beating Reform

1 week ago | libdems.org.uk | Mark Pack

It’s the Lib Dems who can beat ReformHere are some statistics that should both encourage us and spur us on.
Pride Month 2025

3 weeks ago | libdems.org.uk | Ed Davey |Christine Jardine

Today marks the beginning of Pride Month - an important opportunity to celebrate and stand in solidarity with LGBTQ+ communities in the UK and across the world. I know that for many, Pride will feel different this year. It hasn’t been an easy time for many LGBTQ+ people lately, to put it mildly. And I understand why it may feel like there is little to celebrate right now.
Helping spread our strength across the country

1 month ago | libdems.org.uk | Mark Pack

Thank you…It is always good to start with thanking colleagues, and this month marked the final full council for Gareth Morgan. He has served an amazing 52 (!) years as a councillor, having been first elected to then Montgomery County Council in 1973 as a Liberal. Given all the political ups and downs for our party and its predecessors in the years since, that is a particularly impressive run. It is also a run that enabled Gareth to do so much good for local residents’ and for promoting our values.
Standing Up to Divisive Politics

1 month ago | libdems.org.uk | Lisa Smart |Ed Davey

On Monday, Liberal Democrats forced a vote in the House of Commons on a policy that would scrap the ban on asylum seekers working if they had waited for a decision on their claim for 3 months. Sadly, it was blocked by an alliance of Conservative, Labour and Reform MPs – all voting against the national interest just so they could appear anti-immigration.
Our best candidate showing since 2009

2 months ago | libdems.org.uk | Mark Pack

Thank you and good luckDue to an impressive collective effort, our candidate tally for this May’s elections is our best showing since May 2009. That is, the proportion of seats we are contesting this time, compared with the proportion Labour and the Conservatives are contesting, is the best since before the 2010 Coalition government. We still have more progress to go to get to matching their numbers of candidates, but this year is another important step forward.
Ending Trump’s terrible trade war

2 months ago | libdems.org.uk | Ed Davey

Donald Trump has launched a senseless, destructive trade war that threatens the jobs and living standards of people here in the UK, in the United States, and around the world. Trump loves tariffs – he even says it’s “the most beautiful word in the dictionary”! But as Liberals, we profoundly disagree. Don’t forget: it was the Victorian Liberals who overturned centuries of protectionism and ushered in a new era of free trade and prosperity.
Animal Welfare in the Food System

Mar 28, 2025 | libdems.org.uk | Tim Farron

Britain is a nation of animal lovers. Brits expect the highest levels of animal welfare, and they deserve to know that the animals in the food system have their health protected to the highest level. But under the last Conservative Government animal welfare was neglected for years. The Conservatives scrapped animal welfare legislation, agreed trade deals which undermined Britain’s animal welfare standards, and continually let down British farmers.
Bar charts at the ready

Mar 28, 2025 | libdems.org.uk | Mark Pack

Our electoral system cannot copeSecuring 30% of the vote in a general election used to be a general election losing vote share for Labour or the Conservatives. But it is now quite possible that the winner of the next Westminster general election will not top 30%, and that we will have four political parties within 10-15 points of each other. First past the post is really not designed for that…This comes with two important implications for ourselves.
Taking on Trump & Farage - and fixing church roofs

Mar 23, 2025 | libdems.org.uk | Ed Davey

I’ve just come off stage after my speech to close our spring conference in Harrogate. It’s been a fantastic weekend, and it’s wonderful to see our party in such good health and high spirits. We made a big decision for our future success, with members overwhelmingly endorsing proposals to improve the way we select parliamentary candidates – 80% of votes were in favour.
Taking on Trump

Mar 22, 2025 | libdems.org.uk | Calum Miller |Ed Davey

It’s very clear from Trump’s first few weeks in office: under his leadership, the US is going to be an unreliable and unpredictable partner. This is a man who promises trade wars, undermines NATO and has praised Vladimir Putin: the threats to our economy and national security are clear. His presidency comes at a time when Putin’s forces are still waging their illegal war in Ukraine and we see unprecedented attempts at foreign interference by Russia, including in Georgia, Moldova and Romania.
