A joy to be out on the doorsteps in Tebay, Shap, and Long Marton, listening to the issues that matter most to residents - including the need for more buses, the campaign to keep Junction 38 open, and the need for more volunteers to help at Shap swimming pool!

It was such an honour to join Penrith Young Farmers and the wider farming community to celebrate their 90th anniversary. For 90 years, the club has enabled lifelong friendships to be nurtured & sustained, and provided a space for young people to grow as the farmers of the future

While the populist parties offer simple solutions and promise to burn things down, Liberal Democrats want to build up Britain with serious solutions and trusted leadership. @CalumMillerLD

Upland farmers who farm on common land have found themselves excluded from future agri-environment schemes because the computer software prevents their applications. This is a disaster for hill farmers, our environment, and our tourism economy. I'm fighting to get this fixed.

What a privilege it was to stop by Newcastle, where Liberal Democrats are now the largest party, turning the page on Labour’s failures and proving Reform can be beaten.

The election results last week show that Reform UK are on the rise - while Labour and the Conservatives are finished. The only party who can beat Reform UK at the Cumbria Mayoral elections next May are the Liberal Democrats. My interview with BBC Radio Cumbria this morning 👇

We have taken a huge step forward at this election. Our victories go to show that no matter where you live in Scotland, you can have a Liberal Democrat MSP who will fight your corner and deliver change with fairness at its heart.

@tompfoster Populism is the offering of simplistic solutions to complex problems, usually by placing blame for our problems on ‘outsiders’ of one kind or another. By definition this is both practically and morally awful . If this doesn’t apply to you, then you’re not a populist.

Populism is democracy. When you get sniffy about populism you're really just throwing shade on democracy. Do you honestly believe Lib Dems don't sloganeer or play to their crowd? Truth be told you don't particularly like democracy. If someone offered you a way for you to be in power without involving the electorate you'd bite their hand off.

The media’s obsession with snake oil salesmen and the short term success of their extremist parties, has blinded them to the remarkable ongoing progress of Britain’s only popular non-populist party.
Ed Davey@EdwardJDavey

You won't hear it from the media, but the Liberal Democrats just had an incredible set of results. We held off Reform, won more councillors than the Greens and trounced the Conservatives Right cross the country people are backing us to deliver the real change they deserve. 🔶
