Labour must be far more ambitious in the fight against cancer.

Just as with Donald Trump, the Prime Minister approached negotiations with China from a position of weakness, not strength.

The Government should be focusing on the closest possible ties with our European and Commonwealth allies, and other nations that share our values.

When Keir Starmer made Peter Mandelson his US Ambassador – even after his Epstein links were well known – did he think at all about Epstein's victims?

The Prime Minister's answer simply wasn't good enough. Epstein's victims deserve far better.

While Badenoch fights Farage to be Britain’s version of Trump, we’re focused on fixing the NHS, protecting our country, and getting things done.

It's time now for the Government to put forward legislation to strip Peter Mandelson of his peerage.

It's the very least they can do for the victims and survivors of his friend Jeffrey Epstein. If Mandelson has any shame left, he'll retire from the House of Lords today.

While Labour drifts into Reform-lite rhetoric, the Lib Dems are the only ones having a grown-up conversation.

The best deterrent we could have is having a competent immigration system.

Kemi Badenoch says she doesn’t want centrists in her party.

Instead of focusing on what people actually want, like an NHS that works, she’s choosing to imitate Farage.

If you’re sick of the name calling and just want things fixed, join the Liberal Democrats.

Nigel Farage wants every police officer in the UK to carry a gun.

Don't let him turn Britain into his version of Trump's America.

Reform’s candidate for Redcar, Mike Manning, has hurled sickening insults at Jewish and Muslim communities.

Farage must kick his candidate out and make clear these kinds of awful views have no place in British politics.

60% of women limit how much they cycle due to safety concerns.🚲

Too often women must choose between busy roads with little protection or quieter routes with poor lighting. Both are unsafe.

I’m calling on the Government to build the infrastructure needed to make women feel safe on our roads.

The United Kingdom is at its best when we’re true to our values: tolerance, decency, respect for individual freedom and the rule of law.

We can't let Nigel Farage throw that all away by turning Britain into Trump’s America.

Choose a brighter future with the Liberal Democrats.

Labour promised to cut business rates. Now pubs, cafΓ©s, music venues and hotels are left in chaos.

On Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust, and the millions of others killed under Nazi persecution.

We honour survivors and renew our commitment to a country where all can live and worship safely.

Just like Nigel Farage, Suella Braverman idolises Donald Trump.

We can’t let them turn our United Kingdom into their version of Trump’s America.

Lib Dems react:

β€œFarage has recruited yet another Conservative minister with selective amnesia - one who complains about broken Britain while conveniently forgetting they helped break it.

"Suella Braverman was so bad she was forced to resign from Liz Truss’ cabinet and got sacked by Rishi Sunak.”

Davey says war bonds needed to get defence spending moving 'faster' Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey says the bonds would give the public an opportunity to "support patriotically our defence".

That’s why the Lib Dems are calling for defence bonds to invest in our forces and reduce reliance on the US.

Trump’s appalling comments about British soldiers caused real pain to veterans and their families.

I’m glad he’s backed down, but it doesn’t change my view of him or this Government’s failed approach.

Labour and the Tories are banking on a return to the β€˜old normal’. That’s not what voters want | Rafael Behr An economic recovery could still change the parties’ fortunes. But the days when only two parties were licensed to supply Britain with prime ministers are gone, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Last summer, we secured a two-year visa extension for people on the Homes for Ukraine scheme.

But the Government still only allows extensions in the final 28 days, even though processing takes longer. Lib Dems will keep fighting for justice for Ukrainians.

With Trump in the White House, the US can no longer be treated as a reliable ally.

Britain must step up fast. His tariffs will hurt the British people.

That’s why we’re pushing for a customs union.

Another chilling shooting by a federal agent in Minneapolis, this time of a nurse. My heart goes out to Alex Pretti's family.

Trump is forcing the NHS to pay billions more in higher medicine costs, and this government is letting him walk all over them.

Keir Starmer should grow a backbone and tell the White House: the British people decide the future of our NHS - not a foreign regime.

457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan.

Trump avoided military service 5 times.

How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.

In seats like this and across the country, it’s the Liberal Democrats who can beat the Tories and stop Reform.

How dare the Coward in the White House undermine the bravery and sacrifice of our British troops.

Reform and Nigel Farage should be ashamed to associate themselves with him.
