MoJ to remove right to trial by jury for thousands of cases in controversial overhaul Exclusive: Courts minister says change needed to stop criminals opting for juries to delay cases, sometimes by years, and clear huge backlog

Saying defendants are "gaming the system" is absurd.

Courts have been underfunded for years. That's the problem & now they come for your rights instead of solving it. Same old Labour reverting to authoritarianism when the going gets tough.

Shameful nonsense.

We would like to offer our condolences to the family and friends of Councillor Myles Hogg. A worthy opponent and gentleman.

When you’ve protected British people’s rights from the authoritarian regime Nigel Farage craves.

Only one of our MPs representing CWAC constituency voted against Farage's Ten Minute Bill to withdraw from the ECHR.
Thankfully, we had 64 @libdems4er.bsky.social MPs to vote against it.

Daisy Cooper makes it clear: if Nigel Farage is serious about tackling racism in his party, he needs to act now.

🚨 LIB DEM CENSURE MOTION 🚨

We have tabled a censure motion, calling on Parliament to rebuke Sarah Pochin’s racist remarks and for Reform Leader Nigel Farage to withdraw the whip.

We the local party thank our parliamentary party for this motion and support it 100%. She is not representing of our community.

Ellesmere Port Pride was on the quiet side. Not as silent as our opposition, with us being the only political group there.
Newly elected Labour Councillor came to do a walk-around. So we had to ask one of their enterage, where's your stall then?

Save Our Hospices Back our campaign to protect hospice services and ensure they always have the funding and staff to care for anyone who needs their support.

It's no surprise to us that Ed Davey has the best approval rating.

Sudan is facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, but it’s being unreported.

@MonicaHarding.bsky.social explains the Lib Dems plan to call for a ceasefire and restore aid, prosperity, and peace for the people of Sudan.

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.

Happy Diwali from Chester.

Ed Davey writes to disillusioned conservatives: Dear friends, Our country is at a crossroads. The Conservative Party under Kemi Badenoch is becoming more extreme and out of touch, chasing Nigel Farage instead of focusing on the issues that really matter to people. Meanwhile, Reform UK is growing in strength - threatening the tolerant, decent values that hold our communities together. I know many One Nation Conservatives are deeply concerned about the lurch to the hard right in our country and under Kemi Badenoch’s leadership. Her plans to tear up the Climate Change Act and withdraw from the ECHR show she is abandoning traditional British values of tolerance, decency and the rule of law. So my message to the millions of One Nation Conservatives who feel let down by their party and reject the divisive politics of Badenoch and Farage is to come and join us. Help us save our country and defend the values we all hold dear. We will stand strong where others back down. We will not pander to Reform. We will fight to protect our environment, stand up for decency and the rule of law, and stop Trump’s America from becoming Farage’s Britain. So if you share those values, now is the time to join the Liberal Democrats. With best wishes, Ed Davey

We will stand strong where others back down. We will not pander to Reform.

We will fight to protect our environment, stand up for decency and the rule of law, and stop Trump’s America from becoming Farage’s Britain.

If you share those values, now is the time to join the Liberal Democrats.

Conservatives are lurching right and abandoning British values.

The Lib Dems will stand firm, for decency, the rule of law and our environment.

Good luck, Elizabeth Jewkes⁩ out candidate for the Strawberry(Ellesmere Port) by-election. Really hope all the hard work gives us a respectable result.

Wishing all Ukrainians a Happy Independence Day wherever they are.

Thanks ladies for getting out there, and engaging with voters.

Well said.

Summers here and the time is right for knock and drop surveys. Thanks for the feedback and filling them in City Centre and Garden Quarter.

Government backs Lib Dem call to expand free school meals.

We support and see all.
