Lib Dem Peers

If the Prime Minister was serious about protecting Britain from Trump's illegal war in Iran, he would back our plan to Keep Britain Moving. That means cutting fuel duty, cutting train fares and a £1 cap on bus fares.

"This Government clearly want more power to render people destitute." Sarah Teather, drawing on nine years working with destitute asylum seekers, delivers a devastating verdict on Labour's asylum plans.

It’s only the Lib Dems with a real plan to protect people from Trumpflation and cut fuel prices, rail fares and bus prices Back our plan to bring down the cost of living and protect British families. LibDems.org.uk/moving

Trumpflation is ballooning the cost of living. All cheered on by Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch.

Only the Liberal Democrats will stand up to Nigel Farage, Reform and their destructive brand of populism.

🚨 The government has announced a legal ban on smartphones in schools in England. The Lib Dems have been pushing hard for this with @shaffaqmohd at the helm in the Lords. After meeting with head teachers and parents in parliament, we know the difference this will make.

A visibly moved @RuthAnderson paid warm tribute to Lynne Featherstone and her late sister, promising her a personal briefing and meeting, and her commitment that justice for the contaminated blood scandal will be not just seen to be done, but truly delivered.

A deeply touching moment in the House of Lords today. Lib Dem peer @lfeatherstone spoke movingly today about her nephew, who died aged 35 from hepatitis C, and her sister, who campaigned for justice on the contaminated blood scandal for 40 years and passed away just weeks ago.

In the Lords, the Lib Dem leader Jeremy Purvis set out how Mandelson stayed at Epstein's house while he was in jail, and later joined a Ghislaine Maxwell ocean charity funded by Epstein. That warning was on the PM's desk before the announcement. He chose to disregard it.

Today is the last day to register to vote for the council, Senedd and Holyrood elections. If you want to vote for a Liberal Democrat local champion who will stand up for your community, you need to be registered.🔸🗳️

Is it 'when not if' the Lib Dems become the second biggest force in local government? Lib Dem peer @markpack and MP @AlPinkerton make the case in the @spectator podcast. They also defend why taking up constituents' causes is core to who we are. 👇spectator.com/podcast/when-n…

Ed stands up for Britain at its best, a country where people look out for each other, where public services work, and where politics is about fixing problems not stoking division.

Since Trump’s war, petrol is up 25p and diesel 49p. Families and businesses are struggling — will the PM use Treasury windfalls to cut fuel duty and slash fares now? @edwardjdavey

Access to local healthcare isn’t optional. We need guarantees that GP capacity comes with new developments, so residents aren’t let down time and time again. @HelenMorganMP

With new strategic authorities being established, I encouraged Government today to ensure clear guidance around effective working with resilience forums and key partners to ensure operational readiness for major incidents.

So in one week, our team fought for: 🏛️ Your local democracy 🌿 The Windrush generation ⚖️ Victims of crime 🚫 People sick of fine-farming 🌍 Refugees and international students Here's to next week!

Our @mjgerman tore into the plans, calling them "piecemeal, ill thought-out and lacking in evidence." Blocking Afghan women fleeing the Taliban isn't a serious immigration policy. It's cruelty dressed up as control. We'll keep fighting.

You probably didn't see it in the news, but our team in the House of Lords had a busy week. Here's what we actually got done for you 🧵👇
