Graphic showing a laughing Nigel Farage - above are the words Lib Dems defeat Farage's plan to undermine our Human Rights

Liberal Democrat MPs just defeated Nigel Farageโ€™s Bill in Parliament to tear up peopleโ€™s rights and withdraw from the ECHR.

Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into Trump's America. We won't let him.

Earlier today, I asked the Prime Minister at #PMQs to guarantee that local elections will go ahead next May. He refused!

Democracy isnโ€™t optional - people in #Woking deserve their say at the ballot box.

This is exactly the kind of thing that is driving moderate voters to abandon the Conservative Party and back the Liberal Democrat instead.

We will stand up for a decent, caring Britain.

Only Lib Dem Laura Barker can beat Reform in #staines!

Reform is now full of failed Tories, and they will do the same damage they've done before, the only difference is this time they'll be wearing a turquioise rosette.

For the first time, the New Statesman and Britain Elects predict that Spelthorne would vote Lib Dem if a general election were held today.

Following our recent electoral successes in 2023, 2024 and 2025 It is clear that only the Lib Dems can stop Reform in #spelthorne

Laura loves our town and wants to see it flourish. Her top priorities are:

1. Restore community policing in Staines, tackling anti-social behaviour and petty crime.

2. Tackling the Tory debt crisis which has left every resident ยฃ10,000 in debt.

3. Revitalise Staines Town centre.

Spelthorne #LibDem activists across the borough are working tirelessly to fold and stuff thousands of letters to voters in #Staines.

Unlike some other parties who benefit from billionaire donors, we don't pay couriers to prepare and deliver our literature, we prefer the personal touch!

Dear Tim,

Our candidate will be picked in an open election all local party members will be able to vote in.

Harry has been a committed Lib Dem Councillor since 2022 and has done a great deal for the community. He is a true believer in liberal values and is the first to admit Brexit was a mistake.

The #Tories have indebted everyone in #spelthorne to the tune of ยฃ10,000 per resident and the #LibDems are fixing their mess.

Between 2016 and 2019, Tory controlled Spelthorne Council borrowed over ยฃ1bn to speculate on the commercial property market.

The Lib Dems are fixing the Tory debt crisis.

President Macron was right: the UK cannot stay on the sidelines. We face threats from China and a White House we cannot depend on. We must deepen European defences against Russiaโ€™s aggression. Our businesses, farmers, young people and artists need easier access to EU markets. On marche ensemble!
