Ming Campbell was a dedicated public servant and a true Liberal giant.

His principled leadership opposing the Iraq War was a mark of his morality, courage and wisdom.

But more than that, he was an incredibly warm and caring friend and colleague.

We will miss him terribly.

📍Camden 🔶

👏 Big congrats to *Cllr* @JGrauberg who led the @LibDems team to a barnstorming victory in last night’s West Hampstead by-election!

🟥🟥🔨This is even more proof that Liberal Democrats can—and must—take the fight to Labour too, even in historically Labour areas 💥

📉 Populists trash our economies.
🌱 Populists trash our environment.
💔 Populists trash our communities.

🔶 Liberal Democrats must be the first and last line of defence against this threat.

📍 Elmbridge 🔶

Congrats Andy Burton and Team @monicaharding.bsky.social on your victory over the Tories and Reform last night!

🤝Was clear when I was on the doorstep there that residents want local champions that put community first—not a race to the bottom of division and intolerance.

🟥🟥💥🔨 The Red Wall must be firmly in our sights.

There is so much opportunity here for our party.

If we don’t make the case to disappointed and disaffected Labour voters (while honouring the voter base that supported us in 2024), we know the populists will.

I’m delighted to be backing @joshbabarinde.bsky.social for Party President.

I’ve seen first hand how he’s reached out to connect with our young members at regional conferences and with university societies, and I’m confident his experience will help us grown in Labour-facing areas.

Thank you Joe!

‘Josh has been an inspiration. Achieving so much as a councillor, building a successful campaign for the general election, getting elected and standing up for his residents. We need to encourage more young people to join the Lib Dems and get involved, and I believe Josh is the candidate to do that.’
