A childlike drawing of a yellow smartphone with a blue screen. On the screen is an orange card that reads “Say No to Mandatory Digital ID” in uneven handwriting. Above the drawing, in plain black text, it says: “our designer is on annual leave today, please sign our petition.”

Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID.

That’s not the kind of country we want to be.

No to Digital ID Cards! Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID. That’s not the kind of country we want to be. Back our petition to say no to digital ID cards.

🚫 Labour is pushing ahead with mandatory Digital ID cards.

⚠️ They’d be expensive, ineffective and risk criminalising people who don’t have one.

🔶 The Lib Dems will always stand up for freedom and privacy. Join our national petition today:

Why I will rebel against Keir Starmer’s digital ID card – and so should you The UK is not a ‘papers, please’ society and we must resist any attempts to change that

Writing in the Scotsman this evening on Keir Starmer’s newly confirmed mandatory digital ID card scheme - and why I do not intend to go along with it.

Disgusting attack on civil liberties! As if EnochStarmer’s Rivers of Blood MkII speech wasn’t enough… makes my blood boil!

It’s disgusting! A betrayal of our rights to liberty and privacy in return for what? A game of “hunt the victim of people smuggling?” “Spot the trafficked, exploited desperate modern day slave?” #HideousPolicy!

Keir Starmer expected to announce plans for digital ID cards Measure could be announced as soon as Friday as government looks for ways to tackle illegal immigration to the UK

So everyone surrenders their civil liberty in the hunt for a tiny minority being cruelly and wrongly blamed for all of societies problems? Another shameless & damaging stunt we will ALL pay for as #Starmer chases after the Right Wing racists! #Shameful!

Ed Davey smiling on conference stage and waving to the audience. Above him is writing which reads 'Ed Davey - the UK's most popular party leader' - based on YouGov polling from September 2025

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.

Great litter pick last night with the #Cubs;

Mockup cheque from The British Taxpayer to pay The Taliban £267,000,000, signed by Nigel Farage. Headline reads "Reform's Taliban Tax". Photo of Nigel Farage laughing.

Nigel Farage and the Reform Party’s Taliban Tax means sending hundreds of millions of taxpayers' money to an oppressive regime that British soldiers fought and died to defeat.

"The way to see off the populist right isn’t to cower in its shadow; it’s to step up and offer a compelling, positive alternative."

Proud to see @sam-bennett-libdem.bsky.social and the Welsh Liberal Democrats highlighting this failure of strategic thinking by the Welsh Government which lets down the Welsh Ambulance Service, the paramedics it paid to train and the patients in need of help.

Premier League: Liberal Democrats table amendment to Football Governance Bill to make 10 games free to air each season The Liberal Democrats table an amendment to the Football Governance Bill that proposes showing at least 10 Premier League a season on free-to-air television.

⚽ Football is the people's game.

📈 But it's increasingly behind paywalls.

📺 That's why the Lib Dems are pushing for a vote to get at least 10 Premier League games per year broadcast free-to-air on TV.

It's the right thing to do - and I hope the Govt listens!

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Today I spoke out against the Government’s unfair welfare cuts, which will push thousands into poverty. Amy, Joan, and so many others deserve better. I’ll be voting against this Bill.

Good news from Scotland where a workaround has been found, but we don’t need a workaround - we need to scrap the two child benefit cap!

Bloomin’ loved it! Great movie! Not what I expected at all and better for it!

🔶What else is there to do on a sunny, windy day on the North Wales coast? Yep! Deliver leaflets!! This time featuring Chris Brown and his by-election ambitions in #PrestatynCentral! 🔶

There was also some blackface… which I think was meant to be ironic but still leaves an awkwardly racist feeling within the movie! 😬

Yes! We did score this big win here in Wales a few months back! Proud to be part of the party chasing and delivering real improvements for the people of Wales!

Background - progress pride flag. Graphic depiction of four people embracing. "PRIDE". Liberal Democrats logo

Liberal Democrats will keep fighting until we can finally build a society where everyone is free to be who they are.

A graphic of three intersex progress Pride flags behind a white box, reading: "What does 'better' look like? Revise the Equality Act to: • Protect trans+ and disabled rights • Protect bodily & medical autonomy for all • Recognise non-binary, agender & intersex folks • Codify trans-inclusive meanings of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ in law, as originally intended De-medicalise the GRC process Enshrine self-ID in law, as it is in Ireland Abolish the spousal veto Scrap the ban on puberty blockers Scrap plans for ‘chemical castration’ A trans-inclusive ban on ‘conversion therapy’ Ensure same-sex access to IVF treatment Clear out and reform the EHRC so it protects, rather than diminishes, rights Protect LGBT+ expression in public life" The LGBT+ Liberal Democrats logo, with the rainbow bird-of-liberty, is at the bottom.

It's Pride Month 2025 - wherever you are, we hope you have a safe one. 🧡🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

People have rightly been asking what we mean when we say we @libdems.org.uk need to 'do better' or 'step up' as a party. There's no such thing as 'done' of course - but this is what we're pushing for currently.

Today marks the beginning of Pride Month - now more than ever, we must stand with the LGBTQ+ community.

I want to make clear that our party will keep fighting - until we can finally build a society where everyone is free to be who they are.
