The problem for Reform’s opponents is that its expanding base makes it harder to brand every supporter a stupid racist. The new MP Sarah Pochin is its greatest asset, defying the idea of Reform as a boys’ club while reflecting surging support

Oh my, this Janice Turner piece really hasn't aged well.

We've got a byelection coming up in Okehampton South next week. Jan Goffey is our wonderful candidate!

Jan was the mayor of Okehampton twice, everyone I've spoken to on the doorstep knows and loves our Jan 🧡

In early December we've got another byelection in Winkleigh!

BREAKING - Liberal Democrats have overtaken Reform to become the largest group on Cornwall Council.

We are the only party that can stand up and win against Nigel Farage, Reform and their divisive, populist politics.

🚨 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.

Reform UK have peaked When Reform UK burst onto the local government scene in May 2025, it promised to be something new.

After a lovely day out counter-protesting the far right, it's become very clear to me that Reform have peaked.

The British public are tired of their populist, fascist ways - time they went the same way as UKIP!

Exeter is for Everyone ❤️

The far right tried to intimidate and sow hatred. Devon showed them what community looks like.

Defying the polls 💪🔶

In Barnstaple today, we sent a clear message:

We reject Trump’s America and we reject Nigel Farage’s vision of Britain.

Hate has no home here.

I look forward to working with, and listening to, school leaders, teachers and pupils here in South Devon and across the country so we can make education the gift that truly lasts a lifetime.

Pubs, cafés, restaurants, and hotels are the backbone of our economy and communities, but they’re under more pressure than ever before.

A beautiful poem by Dr Ezzideen Shehab. We were treated to a reading of this poem last night at North Devon Palestine Solidarity Campaign's Poets for Palestine event.

It's hard to pick, but here are a few of my highlights from the Liberal Democrat autumn conference, from setting out new ideas to catching up with organisations and fellow Lib Dems to discuss the issues that matter most to our communities 🧡

Yes, not a mention of them... The incumbent Tory has been removed due to non-attendance at meetings, but is standing again as an independent. The Reform candidate stood as a Tory at the last election, and the Tory candidate is from miles away! So it's Lib Dems vs 3x Tories!

Out in Exminster knocking doors for Kevin Smith, our excellent #Libdem candidate for Kenn Valley!

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

@libdems.org.uk are clear that climate action and tackling the cost of living must go hand in hand

We plan to halve energy bills within 10 years, by ensuring people see benefits of renewable energy in their bills, and can access affordable loans to invest in energy-saving measures

Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson Helen Morgan:

"Nigel Farage wants to impose Trump's dangerous anti-science agenda here in the UK. Peddling this kind of nonsense is irresponsible and wrong.

"It seems Farage would rather see pregnant women suffer in pain than stand up to his idol Donald Trump."

We are proud that our party voted unanimously to pass our policy motion, Defending Women's Rights Across the Globe, at conference on Tuesday.

Thank you Care International for your ongoing work championing global gender equality.

Ed Davey, "Nigel Farage is on the side of Elon Musk, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump"

"The LibDems are on the side of the British people"

"Unlike Farage I love Britain, I'm proud of our country"

No one can be left behind in the ‘Just Transition’

Fairness the whole way through and brining people with us- creating new job opportunities and supporting them.
Let’s do the transition away from oil and gas WITH people- not to them!
💚

Farage's one achievement is Brexit, and it's roundly ridiculed.

The environmental vote played a huge part in my campaign.

Packed out room at our ‘Environmental Vote’ training

A more important campaign issue than ever. Show Lib Dems are the leaders on environment via
•community engagement events
•funding and grants for nature
•communicating economic and social benefits of climate action

Lib Dems aiming to go big as they spot electoral opportunity Ed Davey and his party are preparing to do battle with Reform as they gather for their annual conference

Lib Dems aiming to go big as they spot electoral opportunity

An overwhelming mountain of policy papers and plans for government. Don't try anyone tell you that they don't know what the LDs stand for, they are choosing to ignore the inevitable.
