County Durham Liberal Democrats

A tweet from Ed Davey which reads: News of a ceasefire deal in Gaza brings real hope. The UK and our allies must do all we can to get the hostages home, get aid in to starving people, and finally end this horrific violence. This must be the first step towards a two-state solution and a lasting peace.

A ceasefire in Gaza must be the first step towards a two-state solution and a lasting peace.

"The two-state solution is the path to peace. Two nations living side by side in security and dignity. Excluding Palestinians from the process seems nonsensical."

Labour suggestions that 13 year old children should have to have a digital ID card is simply wrong.

Home Affairs Spokesperson @MaxWilkinson.bsky.social sets out why Lib Dems will continue to oppose mandatory digital ID.

Our Plan to Super Charge mental health services: -Mental health MOTs at key life points -A dedicated practitioner in every school -Full parity between mental and physical health care -Walk in hubs for children and young people -Triple taxes on harmful social media giants

No one should be stuck in the awful position of waiting months on end for mental health services.

It's time to supercharge mental health care in this country.

The ending of two party politics is looking rather like two party politics.

I think Digital ID cards could well become Starmer’s Poll Tax.

Congratulations to the Red Roses. World champions! Couldn’t be prouder of this team. 🌹🏆

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.

Liberal Democrats have always stood up to defend civil liberties against government overreach.

We will fight tooth and nail to oppose these plans too.

The climate and nature crises are the defining challenges of our time

@PippaHeylings.bsky.social shares the Lib Dem plan for protecting communities and delivering climate action.

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.

Back our campaign and say no to Labour’s Digital ID plans www.libdems.org.uk/nodigitalid

Keir Starmer wants to force everyone to have a digital ID.

But the Liberal Democrats say that’s not the kind of country we should be. Instead, the government should focus on fixing real problems like the NHS and social care.

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.

Back our petition now against Labour's Digital ID Plans: www.libdems.org.uk/nodigitalid

People shouldn’t be turned into criminals just because they can’t have a digital ID, or choose not to.

We will fight tooth and nail to oppose these plans for a mandatory Digital ID.

The truth is when you look at Elon Musk you've got to follow the money.

He doesn’t care about the British people or our country.

Gambling addiction is a public health issue.

@MaxWilkinson.bsky.social explains why the Lib Dems are leading calls to protect people, families, and our high streets from gambling addition.

Congratulations to the Red Roses! World champions! What a result!

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, we’ve seen too many youth centres close their doors and youth workers leave.

Thanks for the shout out to the Mighty, Mighty Durham Lib Dems @lisasmartmp.bsky.social !

Text reading 'Policy Passed: Opportunity For All on a image of four people working on a project in a workshop.

Across the country, people are being held back not by a lack of potential, but by a lack of access to the training they need to succeed.

From care homes to construction sites, clean energy to HGV driving, employers are facing critical skills shortages.

Ed Davey banging the drum for Britain.

Liberal Democrats are the only party standing up for Britain as a decent and caring country and taking on the divisive politics of Nigel Farage and the Conservatives.

Text reading 'Policy Passed: Don’t Nix Care: Protecting our Hospices on a image of a sick man in a hospital bed.

Hospices provide compassionate end of life care for hundreds of thousands of people each year, while easing pressure on overstretched NHS hospitals.

Yet years of underfunding and rising costs have left many at breaking point – with 7 in 10 warning they may have to cut services.

Our flag does not belong to one creed or to one race. It belongs to one people, the British people.

We will not let our flag be used to intimidate.

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.

Join us in defending these values: http://libdems.org.uk/join

The media - no, we're not going to report on serious Lib Dem policies

The media - yes, we will report on fun stunts

The media, also - the Lib Dems need to show they've got serious policies

'I have campaigned for the Reform Party's millionaire backers to pay for the £23,000 of council taxpayers' money they have wasted on this by-election due to their own incompetence nominating an ineligible candidate,' Terry added. www.durhamlibdems.org.uk/reform

'This result confirms that it is only the Liberal Democrats who can beat the Reform Party across County Durham, as both the Official Opposition group and the strongest electoral force challenging the Reform Party's broken promises,' Lib Dem councillor Terry Rooney said.
