I fear we could have a situation where Trump comes to our country, is honoured with a lavish dinner at one of our finest palaces, yet no one reminds him that he has the power to stop the horrifying… Boycotting Trump Banquet to Call for Gaza Action

I'm boycotting the state banquet to send a message to both Donald Trump and Keir Starmer that they cannot close their eyes and wish away the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Donald Trump can stop this catastrophe in Gaza and get the hostages released.

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.

Yes. Another suggestion from @LibDems ranks: Britain cd deliver food to Gaza by sea with Royal Navy escort. If Israel denies it’s the occupying power in Gaza, with an obligation for the welfare of its people, Britain must be entitled to act to relieve a humanitarian crisis.

The Prime Minister must act with immediate airdrops of much-needed aid into Gaza and get other countries to do the same.

It is simply inhumane that Gaza faces starvation due to Israel’s aid blockade. Words alone won’t save lives.

Who beats Reform?

By-elections since May 1st where Reform and .... finished as the top two:

Reform vs Labour: 0% Labour wins
Reform vs Conservative: 0% Conservative wins
Reform vs Lib Dem: 75% Lib Dem wins*

* Other 25% were Labour held seats, where Lib Dems moved up to 2nd.

"If you're worried about the rise of divisive populist politicians like Donald Trump and like Nigel Farage, it will be the Liberal Democrats standing up for true British values."

Yesterday YouGov gave Lib Dems highest rating since Nov 2019.

Today More in Common gives Lib Dems highest rating since they started polling.

Which technically means it is true to say: BEST LIB DEM RESULT SINCE DINOSAURS ROAMED THE EARTH.*

Other parties are too weak on Donald Trump and his trade war aided and abetted by Elon Musk.

Liberal Democrats will continue to speak up and call for collaboration with our European allies to hold Trump to account.

Photo of Ed Davey with the text of a quote: "At a time of such instability and uncertainty, it is our values that must prevail. Decency. Compassion. Community. Respect for the rule of law. Values that have always been at the heart of our party. Our party celebrates Britain’s diversity as a great strength. Our party knows that our country thrives when it is open and outward-looking."

Now more than ever, we must stand up for core liberal values—equality, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

It is completely unacceptable for a senior official in the incoming Trump administration to threaten to overthrow the result of our democratic elections.

The place to resolve disagreements with our government is in our country, in our Parliament.

We can't let British democracy turn into a plaything for overseas billionaires with short attention spans.

At PMQs, I urged the Prime Minister to work with us to make sure power always sits with the voters, not wealthy foreign oligarchs.

Ed Davey bungee jumping. His arms are spread out wide and his mouth is open.

MPs have backed Sarah Olney’s bill on proportional representation. This is a historic moment in the campaign for a fairer voting system.



Today, as we have done for a century, Liberal Democrats are leading the fight for fair votes and making sure that no one can be ignored in our democracy.

Andrew Bailey is right. Most people don't realise how shockingly *bad* is the UK's goods trade performance after Brexit and the pandemic. UK exports are 23% lower than the pre-2020 trend and imports are 16% below the trend.
