I’m thrilled to welcome Sarah Teather, Mike Dixon and Rhiannon Leaman to join our brilliant Liberal Democrat team in the House of Lords.

They are passionate campaigners who will continue fighting for the change our country needs, including reform of the House of Lords.

Quite amazing that there are 65,000 people who believe that Ofcom exists.

We need an emergency flu vaccine drive to protect the vulnerable and prevent a disaster in the NHS.

That means jabs offered in pubs, churches and community spaces, and taking on the anti-vax lies promoted by Reform and other conspiracy theorists head on.

Happy #HumanRightsDay!

Starmer has chosen to mark it by... kicking off negotiations on how to water down our human rights 🤯
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The ECHR protects all of us, so we should all be worried about changes that amount to "human rights... except for those people"
European nations to begin major talks on ECHR migration rule changes
The talks are the most significant sign yet that international human rights law could be reinterpreted.

If the US can seize a Venezuelan tanker carrying sanctioned oil, then can other tankers in other places, say the Baltic or the Black Sea, also be seized?

An uninsurable world isn’t a future idea. Climate risks are rising so fast that insurers are pulling back, leaving some regions nearly impossible to cover.

Whether it’s dealing with Trump or fixing our relationship with Europe, the PM needs to start listening to Parliament and the public.

If he doesn't he may not be in the job for much longer.

Bill increases of nearly a third for millions of ordinary people have helped Thames Water's profits soar to over £400 million. Foreign hedge fund lenders want more power to pollute our waters and raise our bills. Privatised water is a scam. Let's bring it back into public hands.

Ludicrous to have more LD peers, and NO Green (or Reform) peers.
There are 25 times as many LD Lords as Green and Reform combined!
Yet LDs trail in the polls. (..As do Lab!)
“No10 publishes list of 34 new political peerages including 25 Labour, 5 LibDems.”
This new set of peerages is so out of date.

It's not just policy, values or demographics that shape voters choices, but how they see their nation, its people, in whose interests it is run, and how it should be governed. We need a story of our nations that unites rather than divides us.

Caroline Lucas is wondering why Michelle Mone is still a member of the House of Lords

And most of us are wondering the same as well!

But if Mone is going to be removed from the Lords, there are others too who fail to meet the standard and should be removed as well
