We’re thrilled to welcome Cllr Tina Valcarcel to the Liberal Democrat group! 🧡
After nearly 20 years as a Labour councillor, Tina says Labour has moved away from her values — and she’s found her home with the Lib Dems.

My thoughts are with all those affected by the truly horrifying scenes unfolding in Hong Kong - including anyone in our wonderful Hong Konger community in Sutton who might have friends and family impacted by this tragedy.

New analysis by the House of Commons Library, commissioned by the Lib Dems, found that, “The UK is losing £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit”.
That’s just over £1.7 billion a week, “a black hole of £90 billion a year in the public finances.”

David Lammy was right in 2020 when he called the jury system fundamental to our constitution.
Now the government wants to remove juries from all but the most serious cases. It is dangerous and wrong and the Prime Minister must reverse it.

Imagine being turned away from a bathroom, hospital, or cinema for “not looking female enough”. The leaked EHRC guidance could do just that. Along with my Lib Dem colleagues, I’ve written to the Minister calling for new, inclusive, practical guidance that protects everyone’s rights.

Instead of hammering the country with taxes, the chancellor should be tackling the cost of living and helping businesses grow by cutting red tape.
The biggest path to growth is repairing our relationship with Europe.

Last summer Susan Murray won back the seat of Mid Dunbartonshire with a majority of nearly 10,000 over the SNP.
In May, voters in the equivalent seat of Strathkelvin and Bearsden will have a choice, a hardworking local champion in Adam Harley or more of the same with the SNP.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Glad to see the Carer’s Allowance overpayments report published after raising it last week. The Government has accepted most recommendations, including reassessing cases and refunding carers who were hit by years of unclear DWP guidance. Long overdue.

But instead of solving the problem, Labour are using Brexit as an excuse to raise your taxes.

I'm so pleased that the two-child benefit cap has been scrapped, something the Lib Dems have long campaigned for.
However, the Chancellor missed a huge opportunity to reverse the £90bn a year cost of the Tories botched Brexit deal and announce a new UK-EU Customs Union.
