Liberal Democrats are fighting for a fair deal where mental and physical health are treated equally. It's time to supercharge mental health care. If you agree we need to fix mental health services, join our campaign. #WorldMentalHealthDay

We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges. The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.

Wherever you stand on digital ID - and my Party has been clear that we don't support Labour's Mandatory Digital ID cards - it's vital the ongoing debate on the issue is supported by facts, not misinformation. My letter to Tim Davie @BBC on the issues with HIGNFY last week.

This is what Kemi Badenoch wants to model a new UK Border Force on. Utterly appalling
4 male officers tackle woman outside ICE facility—rip her clothes off during arrest. "Stop pulling her clothes off!" citizens yell. "You're assaulting her right now." "She just pulled over to ask for directions," witness explained. "Within a minute, DHS throws her to the ground

"Modelled on US ICE" . God help us all
My message is clear: if you’re here illegally, you will be detained and deported. Our new Removals Force, modelled on US ICE, will deport 150,000 illegal migrants each year.

Sadly Nigel Farage’s nonsense, rather than Winston Churchill’s vision, more important to the Tories. Joining Russia & Belarus, as only European states outside ECHR, will undermine domestic protections, Good Friday Agreement & our international reputation.

One of the most revolting political spectacles I have ever seen, an Israeli minister bragging about hosting an openly racist criminal thug with multiple convictions. Any decent individual should condemn this.
In the wake of the horrific Manchester terrorist attack, Israel and the Jewish people stand firmly with our allies in the United Kingdom. On behalf of the State of Israel, I am proud to host British patriot @TRobinsonNewEra who will visit Israel in mid-October. Tommy is a

Couldn't be more proud of my colleague for her stellar work as a campaigning councillor! Quite strange comments from a fringe group in the party, I hope they can get past their agitation for division and join us in celebrating hard-working Liberal Democrat councillors 🔶

We, the Liberal Democrats only official women's group, wholeheartedly stand by the amazing Woman that Cllr Chris Northwood is. She is an inspiration to many within the party with her dedication to the party and her constituents. She is a very deserving winner.
