“Working families are being ignored by this government as childcare costs soar and parents struggle to balance work and home life.”

Our Deputy Leader Wendy Chamberlain MP at #sldconf

Whilst the Tory party tank the economy and cling to power and the SNP waste time and money on independence, we are getting the job done.

Joined thousands of parents in central London this morning at #MarchOfTheMummies to demand more affordable childcare and better rights for working parents. It makes sense for our children, for parents and for our economy. PregnantThenScrewed

We need an independent inquiry with access to all relevant evidence, to establish the true scale of Braverman’s rule breaking.


We saw how Boris Johnson and others tried time and again to duck accountability and cover things up. It cannot happen again.

'In May, when pundits said we’d slip backwards, we grew our council base by nearly 1/3

We will lift our vote across the country and in the coming parliamentary elections by starting our campaign for the 2027 council elections right now.'

Rishi Sunak’s cabinet are promising nothing but delays to climate action at a critical point.



We must not allow our climate targets to be missed due to this inept Conservative government.

The government's ‘windfall tax’ is completely failing.

While loopholes boost the coffers of oil and gas companies, thousands are struggling to heat their homes and feed their children.

The government must fix their failed policy.

2/3 respondents support a windfall tax on record profits of oil & gas producers. Liberal Democrats have been calling for this since last Oct. Now, we want the government to strengthen the version they introduced & close loopholes to fund the support that is so desperately needed

The Conservative Government’s refusal to properly tax these eye-watering profits is an insult to families struggling to pay their energy bills.

Rishi Sunak wants to keep the ban on new onshore wind, is failing to help families insulate their homes and is now refusing to attend the COP summit.

His actions fly in the face of the UK's proud record of leading the global fight against climate change.

This decision flies in the face of the UK's proud tradition of leading the world’s response to climate change.

Rishi Sunak must not turn his back on our progress and our commitments.

In the council elections in May we made gains from Edinburgh to Aberdeenshire, from the Borders to Caithness.

We increased our councillor base by a third nationally.

In the collapse of the Tories and woeful record of the SNP there are great opportunities for the Lib Dems.

We’re facing a climate emergency and the actions we take (or don’t take) now will affect the future of our planet forever. We need to be leading the world in the fight against climate change, not shirking away. Both Rishi and the King should be attending.

This endless hokey cokey from the Conservatives is leaving pensioners and struggling families in a desperate limbo.

If Rishi Sunak has indeed misled Parliament on this critical issue, he must correct the record immediately.

It shows yet again how this government treats the public with contempt. It’s one rule for Conservative ministers and another for everyone else.

Suella Braverman's appointment makes a mockery of Rishi Sunak's claims to be bringing integrity to Number 10.

We must have a full independent inquiry by the Cabinet Office into this appointment, including any promises Sunak made behind closed doors.

A proper windfall tax would raise £60bn over 3 years and provide crucial relief to vulnerable households.

Even the CEO of Shell has admitted it's the right thing to do.

Yet the Tories are forcing taxpayers to pick up the tab for their economic chaos 🤦‍♀️
