Britain feels broken because it is being held back. People feel powerless, and they can't hold the powerful to account. Liberal Democrats want to change our politics so that, together, we can fix our country.

It’s many years since Cambridge City Council actually increased the amount it spent to keep streets and open spaces cleaner and better provided with basic amenities like public loos. But that is what it’s just agreed to do, thanks to votes for the Lib Dems this May.

Reform and the Conservatives are happy to cheer on Trump’s illegal Iran war that's hurting our economy, sending inflation soaring and deepening the cost of living crisis.

While other parties stoke division, we choose to help our communities and get things done. Vote Lib Dems on May 7 for a local champion who’ll fix what matters.

Trump’s illegal war is hitting our economy, pushing up inflation and deepening the cost of living crisis. We shouldn’t be rewarding that behaviour with a state visit.

Imagine seeing British people at prayer and thinking “this is a great chance to stoke fear, hatred and division”. People who do that should have no place in British politics. Freedom to worship is a fundamental British value – one the Conservative Party used to believe in.
Nick Timothy MP@NJ_TimothyMar 17
Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

Rejoining Erasmus is a real opportunity to start repairing the disastrous Conservative Brexit deal. We are pleased the government has finally listened to us on that. However it must be a first step on a clear roadmap to a closer relationship with Europe. Starting with negotiating a bespoke UK-EU customs union, and committing to a youth mobility scheme for benefit of the next generation.

Horrified by the sickening terrorist attack in Bondi Beach. My prayers are with the families of those tragically killed. As Jewish communities come together to celebrate Hanukkah, we must stand together against violence and hate. Light will always triumph over darkness.

A customs union with the EU is the single biggest step the government could take to grow our economy, put money back into people's pockets and generate billions for our public services. The Prime Minister must now listen to Parliament and the public.

Liberal Democrat MPs just defeated Nigel Farage’s Bill in Parliament to tear up people’s rights and withdraw from the ECHR. Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into Trump's America. We won't let him.

If racism has no place in his party, then Nigel Farage should prove it by withdrawing the whip from Sarah Pochin immediately.

Bike theft has effectively been decriminalised. The Liberal Democrats are demanding action through Operation Bike Bait — a national crackdown to catch offenders and deliver justice.
