In a recent @libdemvoice column I said that @JoshBabarinde will one day lead our party and that I couldn't wait for that day. I'm delighted that Josh is standing to be party president and will be enthusiastically supporting his campaign on all my platforms. Go Josh!!! #LibDems

The UK should be leading on this, not falling behind. Recognise the independent state of Palestine now and take the lead on securing a two-state solution and a lasting peace.

The 1988 tax reform produced a 20-year boom in which the average growth rate was 2.8% per annum. Then Gordon Brown raised the top rate to 50% and we all saw what happened there. The coalition cut corporate tax and produced a jobs boom. Last 5 years. Increased taxes and yikes.
Britain's growth rate in 1997 was 4.9%. 4.9%. Just unimaginable to anyone of my generation.

The Tories calling themselves pro-business is absolutely laughable when they left the single market. There is nothing more anti-business than leaving the European trading market.
It's why I left the Tories. Copying Argentina would require a 30% across the board reduction in government spending.
This still feels like pitch to right of the party not country
"Because fighting for equality is fundamental to who we are as liberals. We canโt build a free society until everyone is free - free from prejudice, from barriers, and from fear." Absolutely this from @LisaSmartMP libdems.org.uk/news/article/sโฆ
The BBC fails to hold Farage to account on Brexit, the ยฃ20k tax allowance that'll cost ยฃ80bn+ and taxing renewables that will push up energy bills. The BBC also had a Reform councillor on QT. Absolute joke.
Did the BBC cover live any of the Farage press conferences this week? Has the BBC ever asked Ed Davey for detailed costings like they did with Farage this week? When was Farage last on QT? How often do Reform reps appear on Politics Live? Hint: not every day, unlike Tories & Lab.
Oh ... like the "oven-ready" Brexit trade deals that never materialised and devastated our economy.
People have no idea how much policy work Reform is already doing. We will have thousands of pages of legislation oven-ready for when @Nigel_Farage becomes PM. We know the system, the blob, will activate to block us at every turn. We will be ready. They will be defeated.
