Today The Plaza celebrates 25 years since it re-opened as a Super Cinema and Variety Theatre! We're so lucky to have this in #Stockport and it was great to have a tour yesterday to learn more about the building. It brought back many memories of seeing the panto as a kid โค๏ธ

Brilliant performance by Manchester Camerata yesterday, at Stockroom in the town centre! There were two sets of songs, as well as poetry written and performed by local teens. โค๏ธ #Stockport

I've never heard Gold Digger or Gangsta's Paradise played on a violin before!

Loved my recent visit to Dial Park Primary!

We supported them with funding to help set up their new nursery forest school. It looks amazing and it was so good to see the kids enjoying it! โค๏ธ

Picked up some Lib Dem stats at conference. Some of these surprised me (especially given media coverage):

1. The Liberal Democrats now control more councils than the Conservative Party

2. In May's local elections in England, the LDs elected more councillors than either Labour or the Tories.

If you are fed up with the two old parties letting you down.

If you are scared of the rise of racism and extremism.

If you believe in decency, tolerance and the rule of law.

Join us.

Because we believe in the British people.

We love our country.

And together, we can change it for good.

Elon Musk is no friend of our United Kingdom. He should be held to account for allowing truly vile and illegal child abuse content on his platform.

If the media reported the million serious things, the Lib Dems wouldn't need the stunts.

Farron drapes himself in flag as Lib Dems seek to reclaim patriotism The Lib Dems are urged to stop being squeamish about national pride, at their annual conference.

This is how we deliver a better, hopeful future - by being proud of who we are and never giving up our identity.

In Sussex, and the whole UK, we stand for unity over division, tolerance over hate, and hope over despair.

Text reading 'Policy Passed: Freedom From Harm - Gambling as a Public Health Issue on a image of a gambling machine.

For too long, weak regulation has let the gambling industry profit from addiction, debt, and family breakdown.

Liberal Democrats will hold the gambling industry to account and put people before profits, so that gambling in the UK can be safe, fair, and free from harm.

Text reading 'Policy Passed: Backing Youth Work to Build Communities' on an image of young people playing in a field

Youth work changes lives and makes a real difference in communities across the UK.

It gives young people a place to belong, build skills, and believe in themselves.

But over the last decade, weโ€™ve seen too many youth centres close their doors and youth workers leave.

It was great to hear from Council Leader Mark Roberts, Deputy Leader Jilly Julian FLPI and Tom Morrison MP how award-winning Liberal Democrat Stockport Council works with their local Liberal Democrat MPs at our 'Celebrating Success: Stockport' fringe earlier today.

Glad to see that @libdems.org.uk Conference had no more patience for hate on the agenda than it did last time. We, and Conference, saw that amendment for what it was. Thank you to everyone who voted.

We donโ€™t talk about it much, but we are a nation of carers.

The answers to the care crisis canโ€™t just be about tinkering with the formal systems social care as they exist. We must, as a country ask some more fundamental questions about how we can better support families.

Last week we gave ยฃ500 of area funding to residents who did their alley up to create a space to meet. The money will be used to buy planters, plants, lighting and a new bench.

Thank you to all those involved in this, it's fantastic to see it for local pride and community spirit. โค๏ธ #Stockport

Please share with any veterans or ex-Armed Forces personnel that you know!

This should be a great event and we have some fantastic groups and services for veterans across #Stockport. Thank you to the brilliant volunteers who make all of this possible!

The horrors in Gaza must stop.

And when the one man with the power to make it stop โ€“ Donald Trump โ€“ arrives in the UK today, Keir Starmer must do all he can to make the President act.

On International Day of Democracy I'm calling for Proportional Representation.

On International Day of Democracy I'm calling for Proportional Representation.

Today marks International #DemocracyDay.

Democracy matters - and it cannot be taken for granted.

Our voting system leaves swathes of people feeling powerless and fuels disillusionment, which can have dangerous consequences.

Change can't wait. We need #PRnow.

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

The government must give the victims of this appalling scandal the compensation they deserve. It would be a milestone for carers across the country, and a victory for all those who have campaigned tirelessly for justice.

Itโ€™s appalling to see police officers come under attack at the Tommy Robinson rally. Those involved should be held accountable through the full force of the law.
