It's summer tour season, and I've met with villagers in Broadhembury, Northleigh, Upottery, and Chardstock. We have discussed sewage, broadband, and dentistry. Retired health professionals have talked about the knock-on effect losing community hospital beds has on rural health and care services.

Children with special educational needs deserve the best possible support. We will continue to fight to ensure they are never treated as cash cows by vulture firms.

Lib Dems call for cap on SEND school profits The party says an 8% profit cap is needed to stop money meant going "into the pockets of shareholders".

end the profiteering - cap SEND provider profits

It is an absolute scandal that private equity companies are profiteering from the crisis in SEND education. 



Liberal Democrats would cap these exorbitant profits at 8% to put money into the SEND system, not shareholders’ pockets. 


It's time to put our children first, not corporate greed.

Top private SEND providers are raking in millions while families fight to receive basic support.

We are demanding a profit cap to stop this exploitation and put funding back into the SEND system, where it belongs.

NEW: @eddavey.libdems.org.uk, all Lib Dem MPs and Lord Purvis have written to Keir Starmer to ask that he:
- immediately recognise a state of Palestine
- pressure Israel to fully reopen aid routes into Gaza
- push to secure the release of all remaining hostages.

A quote text graphic of Tim Farron with the words saying: "It is an absolute scandal that families are being told to limit their water use this summer, while these failing water firms are letting over a billion litres a day go to waste through leaky pipes. Firms that fail to fix leaks should be fined, and water company bosses should be stopped from pocketing eye-watering bonuses. Enough is enough. The public shouldn’t be forced to pay the price for the water companies’ failure."

Water companies are failing thousands of families by refusing to put their own house in order. Enough is enough, the public shouldn't have to bear the cost of their failures.

@timfarron.bsky.social

Image showing two social media posts. The first is from BBC News (@BBCNews) stating: "Trump says Canada's move to recognise Palestinian state threatens trade deal." The second is from Ed Davey (@EdwardJDavey), responding: "By trying to bully nations out of recognising Palestine, Trump is making himself the biggest hurdle to a two-state solution and a lasting peace. The UK must stand strong with Canada and our allies, we should recognise the Palestinian state right now. No more delays."

We can’t allow Trump to bully countries out of recognising Palestine.

It’s time to recognise the Palestinian state—immediately.

An Ed Davey quote graphic that says: The government must publish the legal advice it’s received on Netanyahu’s grotesque restriction of aid to Gazans. There can be no denying it any longer. Israel has egregiously breached international law.

There is no room left for denial.

The government must disclose the legal counsel it has obtained regarding Netanyahu’s appalling blockade of aid to Gaza.

"These companies are leaking a billion litres of water every single day and £1.5 billion in dividends were leaked out under the last government."

@TimFarron.bsky.social

Statement from Ed Davey: Recognition of the state of Palestine should not be used as a bargaining chip. It should have happened months ago. We also need far greater action to stop the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, including fully ceasing arms sales and implementing sanctions against the Israeli cabinet.

The Liberal Democrats welcome this first step but urge Keir Starmer to go further and recognise Palestine immediately.

Far greater action is also needed to address the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, including fully ceasing arms sales and imposing sanctions on the Israeli cabinet.

Giving people security in later life The Liberal Democrats have become the first UK party to commit to protecting the triple lock on pensions in the next Parliament.

The @libdems.org.uk were the architects of triple lock. Leader of @libdems.org.uk @eddavey.libdems.org.uk has pledged that we'll uphold it "under any circumstances" in the next parliament.

Exmouth police station rebuild is off the cards – “too expensive” as costs rise from £5 to £6 million. The largest town in Devon still doesn’t have a public enquiry office despite Alison Hernandez pledging two years ago that public access was “non negotiable”. Here is what Alison Hernandez said in A…

Constituents in #Exmouth are right to be concerned about the police station not being built in the largest town in Devon.

It's unacceptable that Gazans are having to choose between starving or risking their lives going to aid posts where they could be fired upon.

Netanyahu must fully reopen the supply routes for food and aid, and our Government must be far tougher in demanding it.

Today we hold in our hearts Bebe, Elsie and Alice, three little girls so cruelly murdered in a heartbreaking tragedy. Southport Tragedy: One Year On

One year on, we still feel the heartbreak of Elsie, Alice and Bebe’s senseless murder.

In the days that followed, despite the fear and uncertainty, so many across our country chose compassion over hate. They showed up, stood together, and reminded us what this country is about.

The @libdems.org.uk are challenging the government to address delays in domestic abuse referrals from the police to the CPS and subsequent decision making by the CPS, as well as, acknowledge the risk these delays can pose to women’s safety.

A quote graphic of the Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Culture, Media and Sport, Max Wilkinson. The graphic says: “The Lionesses have swept us all away with their record-breaking performance.” “It is time for the Prime Minister to formally recognise this historic moment by confirming an honorary damehood for Sarina Wiegman, and appointing the whole squad an MBE for their momentous accomplishment.” This formal recognition would be a fitting display of the pride and gratitude the Lionesses have given the nation.”

Following the Lionesses’ victory at the Euros, we are calling for the Prime Minister to commit to Honours for the whole squad 🦁
