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 👇

📢 "You can't be at the heart of something from the outside, lead it with red lines, or get the advantages when you're not in it. EU membership remains the goal." Responding to the King's Speech, Lords leader Jeremy Purvis presses the case for closer EU ties.

Donald Trump could legally donate to UK political parties under the government's current plans and @markpackuk.bsky.social, Cabinet Office spokesperson, wants to know why ministers are letting it happen.

"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.

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 An out-of-date manifesto.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.

The Conservatives' response to far-right Islamophobia is whataboutism. Meral Hussein-Ece, Lib Dem equalities spokesperson, had a different answer. Prosecute the hate speech that would trigger outrage if it targeted any other group. Choose your fighter.

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.

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.

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. 👇️

New Lib Dem Peer Mike Dixon used his maiden speech to make a simple case: the best decisions come from truly understanding people. From Citizens Advice to drug and alcohol services, he has spent a career proving it.

🤯 You won't believe what this agency manager tells workers emptying bins in Birmingham! 😡 Is a @teamlabouruk.bsky.social council really saying they won't employ anyone who joins a picket line? Isn't that called blacklisting? Shouldn't Labour-run @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social be against that?

Perseverance pays off. I tried multiple times to grow a pineapple from a store-bought top and failed. But last summer, I tried again—and it’s thriving. I don’t know when I’ll get a pineapple, but I’ll stay patient, hopeful, and enjoy the journey along the way. #gardening #plants #snake #patience

Plant propagation is fun, but pause if you have pets or kids. Many popular houseplants are toxic if chewed, and cuttings, water jars, and soil can pose choking or poisoning risks. Always research plants to keep your home safe for everyone. #plants #pets #kids #parenting #children
