Red textured background with yellow rectangle and arrows. Bold black text quotes a research participant: "The biggest barrier I face as a blind guide dog handler is street clutter. Even the most familiar route can become impossible due to pavement parking, dumped rubbish, e-scooters or roadworks."

Streets that work for disabled people work better for everyone.

Decluttering our streets makes our communities safer, easier to navigate and more welcoming. And we can all play a role in making that happen.

If you could change one thing about your local streets, what would it be?

De grootste D66 uitslag ooit én dat hebben we gevierd! Wat een avond.

Three disabled white people sit and stand on a bridge, gazing firmly at the camera. The first is a man wearing a bright orange cardigan, he is a wheelchair user. The second is a woman with long sandy hair, she is a wheelchair user. The last is a tall man with cropped white hair and a red shirt. The photo has a hot orange background with yellow electrical tape with 'Take Action!' in black text. There are yellow arrows and chevrons pointing to the photo.

Tuig. Je blijft van politieke partijen af.

Als je denkt dat je ons kan intimideren, dikke vette pech. Wij laten ons mooie land nooit afpakken door extremistischte relschoppers.

Walgelijk hoe deze hooligans agenten aanvallen, brandstichten, de snelweg blokkeren en wapperen met prinsenvlaggen, het symbool van de NSB.

En dat alles in de naam van 'wij zijn Nederland'. Nee. Dit heeft niets met Nederland te maken. Het is pure intimidatie.

MISSING 375,000 accessible and adaptable homes that could have been built since July 2022. Image of a wheelchair user entering a home. Logo of Housing made for everyone (HOME) in the bottom left corner.

The numbers are in – and they’re worrying. Since July 2022, of 487,000 new homes built, we estimate over 375,000 feature inadequate minimum accessibility standards.

As members of the HoME coalition, we are calling for policy change to ensure every new home is accessible.

Happy 77th Birthday to our NHS 🎉

Thank you to all the NHS staff working hard to care for us and keep us healthy.
The Liberal Democrats will always fight to protect our NHS and social care, and deliver on William Beveridge's great liberal idea.

Rob Jetten is verkozen tot lijsttrekker van D66.
Hij staat voor een D66 dat verbindt én durft. Een partij die vooruitkijkt, keuzes maakt en niet terugdeinst voor de grote uitdagingen van deze tijd.

Wij kiezen voor vooruitgang.

Aan de slag!

REVEALED

Lib Dem research reveals 55 constituencies in England could see 90% of those claiming the standard rate of PIP lose out following the Government’s cuts.

Met groot verdriet neemt D66 afscheid van Jan Terlouw. Hij is op 93-jarige leeftijd overleden, omringd door zijn familie en dierbaren in zijn vertrouwde Twello. Het verlies van deze bijzondere man voelt als een diep gemis voor velen. We denken aan alle mensen die hem liefhadden.

veryone should be able to travel easily, but only 3% of disabled people say they can do so without advance planning—held back by systems that just don’t work for us. It’s time to make the UK’s transport truly accessible to everyone. 👨‍🦼🧑‍🦯🧏‍♀️🐕‍🦺

Today I pressed the Prime Minister to rule out cuts to disability benefits for those who simply cannot work. Worryingly, he chose not to answer.

Disabled people and those who care for them deserve our support and they deserve clarity from this government.

I had as a #wheelchair user two times a problem with prams on the 205 bus today. @transportforlondon.bsky.social can you please do better? @hinabokharild.bsky.social

Not content with polluting British waters with sewage, and failing to invest in leaky infrastructure, whilst company executives stuff their pockets with bonuses - now they are raising your bills.

The whole thing stinks. It's time to scrap Ofwat and replace it with a regulator with real teeth.

"The government have made this awful decision to slash winter fuel payments. The least they can do is to make sure that everybody who would qualify for pension credit and qualify for winter fuel payments has the opportunity to do so."

Sarah Olney

The new government cannot repeat the mistakes the Conservative's made after running our NHS into the ground.

We need an urgent plan to winterproof our NHS and make this the last winter crisis.

Photo of Ed Davey with the text of a quote: "At a time of such instability and uncertainty, it is our values that must prevail. Decency. Compassion. Community. Respect for the rule of law. Values that have always been at the heart of our party. Our party celebrates Britain’s diversity as a great strength. Our party knows that our country thrives when it is open and outward-looking."

Now more than ever, we must stand up for core liberal values—equality, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.
