A £90 billion Brexit black hole. An out-of-date manifesto. A government too timid to act. Chris Fox makes the case in the Lords for bolder leadership on Europe.

Coastal towns. Rural villages. Left out of the Government's Devolution Bill. Baroness Cathy Bakewell and Lib Dem peers wouldn't accept it. We pushed until ministers backed down. Coastal & rural communities are now written into the Bill.

Jeremy Purvis, Lib Dem Leader in the Lords, responds to the King's Speech: "The government's ambitions are not strong enough. Their work is not fast enough." Plus the constitutional quirk most people miss at the State Opening 👇

"We must regulate the product, not the child." Our peer Tim Clement-Jones made the case for banning addictive design features, protecting children from a cliff-edge at 16, and giving families real legal recourse in today's debate on the #ChildrensBill.

How did the PM end up appointing Mandelson? Vetting officer → FCDO official → Olly Robbins → Prime Minister. Not one of them had seen the paperwork. Our peer @markpackuk.bsky.social sets out the "daisy chain" that should never have happened.

Ticket touts are pricing fans out of live events. The government plans to ban it for sporting events but concerts and cultural events get no protection at all. @lordtim.bsky.social explains what Lib Dem peers are demanding. 👇️

Big announcements on defence spending mean nothing if the money doesn't move. Our peer, Chris Fox warns British businesses are going to go bust waiting, and our allies in Estonia are publicly saying the UK is too slow.

Two thirds of those who voted in 2024 didn't vote for this Government, yet it acts like it has a mandate from the whole country. Our Leader in the Lords, Jeremy Purvis, is calling for real democratic reform.

A speaker at last Saturday's far-right rally pointed at Parliament and demanded Islam be removed from this building. Lib Dem peer Shaffaq Mohammed brought that moment to the Lords and what it meant for his sons who serve this country.

Christy Clark: "If this should succeed, Danielle Smith will go down as probably the worst premier Canada has ever had. If it fails, she'll go down as someone who got lucky and got out of there with their skin intact and certainly still isn't qualified to be the premier of a province." #cdnpoli

Broken heart? Watch this. Hey, if you’re feeling shattered, listen up. In the mess of brokenness, God promises restoration. Psalm 147:3 says, 'He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.' That promise isn’t just words—it's a lifeline. When life cracks you, let His love stitch the piece

While it's true that the idea of hell can cause stress and fear, @shadihamid.bsky.social argues that, somewhat paradoxically, it can also offer an opportunity to chill -- a relief of responsibility to ensure complete justice now while maintaining solace that it will be meted out. 🧵

DeSantis' partisan redistricting won't deter me from representing my community. That's why I'm running in FL-25. I grew up in this district, I live here now, and most of my current FL-23 neighbors do too. It's also a district we can win.
