Elmbridge Lib Dems 🔶

THANK YOU🔶 I have just been elected as your new Surrey County Councillor for Hinchley Wood, Claygate and Oxshott. I would like to thank all who gave their support to me, especially our fantastic members and volunteers who’ve joined us on the campaign trail.

As Ramadan comes to an end, we wish everyone who is celebrating in the UK and beyond a happy and blessed Eid ul Fitr. Eid Mubarak!

Trump's war is sending your bills through the roof. Why are Kemi & Nigel cheering him on?

On the panel, Liberal Democrat Josh Babarinde #bbcqt

We're looking forward to seeing a Lib Dem (from the party with the third highest number of MPs) on Question Time tonight. And @JoshBabarinde is a fab choice with lots to say

Best bits 😂

Lib Dems are pushing through. Why? Because people want calm, competent grown-ups to manage public services. People have realised they don't need chaos and drama and so they choose Lib Dem. You have two votes at the #EastSurrey council elections on May 7. Use both to vote #LibDem

Lib Dem Leader @EdwardJDavey calls for action against GB News: "We cannot let GB News propaganda turn our great country into Trump's America." #PMQs

Shining a bit of light in dark times? Guilty as charged.

This is great news - for us and for the planet. Every little action helps

NEW: Reform UK risks breaching data protection laws with its competition to win free energy bills for a year, lawyers and data experts have warned. Nigel Farage announced the lottery as a way to advertise his latest policy to cut energy bills. But entrants have to sign up via a website, disclosing not only their name, email and telephone number, but also how they voted at last election and how they intend to vote at next one. @kiranstacey reports theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

I asked the Foreign Secretary exactly how many NATO allies does Donald Trump need to threaten for the government to recognise that Donald Trump is a threat to the survival of liberal democracy in the 21st century

This week, @_Chris_Coghlan stood up for SEND families, pushing for Christopher’s Law after the heart-breaking case of Christopher Laskaris. We won't stop fighting for real change for SEND families.

We are the party that believes the best in Britain, not the worst. We fight because we know things can get better. And just as in past tough times - Liberals will show the way through.

Proud to speak at the Lib Dem Conference setting out our approach to defence: standing firmly with Ukraine, restoring trust with our European allies, and fixing procurement. In a more unstable world, we remain committed to NATO, international law and our nuclear deterrent.

With the risk of further escalation and no clear objective, the UK mustn’t be dragged into Trump’s war of choice in the Middle East. So I asked the Government to rule out UK military deployment to the Strait of Hormuz and instead use our UN Security Council seat for what it’s for: leading on peace.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

EXCL: UK national security adviser Jonathan Powell attended final talks between US and Iran - and judged Tehran's offer on its nuclear programme was significant enough to prevent rush to war @patrickwintour & @julianborger reveal theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…

Today people from dozens of groups came together to demand MPs vote against yet another round of anti-protest powers. The government intends to give police the power to restrict protests based on their so-called ‘cumulative disruption’. The government has been transparent with this: these powers are being pushed in response to the mass national marches for Palestinian rights. But this proposed change would impact all of us and our ability to protest, for whatever cause is most important to us. Our right to protest must be defended. ✊

Nigel Farage cheered on Trump’s illegal war on Iran that is sending petrol prices and energy bills through the roof. Now he says he wants to cut your energy bills. This is just his latest con. Just like Brexit, he peddles lies then leaves the British people to pick up the tab.
