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

Join us in defending these values: http://libdems.org.uk/join

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."

Elon Musk is stoking far-right extremism on our streets.

The Prime Minister should order a security assessment of the threat Musk poses to our democracy.

Israelis and Palestinians have suffered unimaginable trauma. Much of it will never be healed.

But today they can at least begin to hope that their children will go free of this appalling cycle of violence.

Our hospices have been pushed to the brink.

The hospice sector is in crisis. Families are terrified for their loved ones, yet the government continues to look away.

Our new campaign demands urgent action to fix this broken system.

We still have a lot of work to do to deliver the two-state solution that will finally allow Israeli and Palestinian children – both – to grow up free of this cycle of violence.   

But at least today, that work can finally begin. And that should give us all hope.

Our military personnel sacrifice so much for our country, the least they deserve is a decent home for them and their family.   But many have suffered for many years, living in dire conditions with infestations, mould, flooding, and unreliable heating and hot water.

We will not let this continue.

LIB DEM WIN!

The government has finally given in to our longstanding campaign to improve the quality of military family homes.

Our amendment to the Renters’ Rights Bill will, require the Ministry of Defence to assess service family housing and report on whether it meets the Decent Homes Standard.

It’s time we treat mental health as seriously as physical health.
