More and more people are turning to the Liberal Democrats and our positive vision.

We are standing up for Britain as a decent and caring country, and taking on the divisive politics of Nigel Farage and the Conservatives.

There is no limit to our ambition.

Reform UK could win next Senedd election, says party spokesman - BBC News Reform's Wales spokesman says forming a Welsh government is "well within the realms of feasibility".

The idea Cymru could be in the hands of Reform in the next Senedd elections is terrifying. Farage doesnโ€™t even want the Senedd to exist, literally would be turkeys voting for Christmas. Reform is not the answer. Populism is a disease.

Liberal Democrats WIN in Much Woolton and Hunts Cross last night, ending a 27 year streak of Labour by-election victories in Liverpool.

Huge congratulations to the team for an excellent result!

As someone who is neurodiverse I hate hearing โ€œeveryone is autistic these days or has ADHDโ€ - no they arenโ€™t. More people are getting diagnosed because they are actually learning about neurodivergency and accessing the support available. Itโ€™s a good things. No it had nothing to do with your vaccines

Liberal Democrats standing up for NHS and Social Care
We will always stand up for our health service, for social care - and put carers at the heart of everything we do. Liberal Democrats standing up for NHS and Social Care

Liberal Democrats will always fight for our NHS, and we will always be the party of carers.

After years of being politically homeless I am proud to say I am now a member of the @libdems.org.uk. My mother has been failed by adult social care, and as a carer I feel this party is the only one speaking for people like me. Also PR is in my opinion the only fair voting system.

So after my current D&D campaign ends Iโ€™m finally stepping down a DM and passing the torch on after almost 10 years of being a forever DM. Then I get to be a player again.

Any DMโ€™s who have done this have any good advice on transitioning back to a player after being a DM for so long?

Nigel Farage: โ€œOver 2 million people want another general election we should give the people what they wantโ€

Meanwhile double that want a second referendum should we give them what they want?

Left unamended, the Employment Rights Bill (which gives guaranteed hours to a qualifying ZHC worker after the end of every reference period) would pretty much destroy the ability of universities to have PGRs doing teaching

TikTok creators trying to sell supplements is the same as potion sellers in the 1800โ€™s. Crazy how history keeps repeating.

Imagine over 2 million asking for another general election. Yet they are the same people who told us to โ€œrespect democracyโ€ when we wanted another referendum on Brexit. Which is a massive reason our economy is in the bin.
