We know what happens when a US President ignores international law. My friend Charles Kennedy understood what was at stake in 2003 when he stood against the Iraq war. Unlike the Labour government, we will not look the other way.

Donald Trump is a bully - Britain should be standing up to him.

Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela. Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe. Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

🚨 It's time for Starmer to scrap the Trump NHS tax and fix the social care crisis.

During Treasury Questions today, @AlisonEBennett urged the Treasury to remove the anti-forestalling clause from the Finance Bill to protect elderly and vulnerable farmers from large tax bills they thought they would not face.

Parliament has just voted to cut Brexit red tape - passed on a knife-edge after the Speaker’s tie-breaking vote. My @LibDems colleague @AlPinkerton's Ten Minute Rule Bill calls for a bespoke UK–EU Customs Union. It’s the right move to fix our trade relationship with the EU.

Today is our chance to support our small and local businesses that help our high streets and communities thrive. Liberal Democrats are calling for a 5% cut to VAT on hospitality to revitalise the high street, cut the cost of living for customers and help small businesses thrive.

As Islamophobia Awareness Month ends, the rise in anti-Muslim hate remains impossible to ignore. Together, we must call it out and build the inclusive Britain we all need and deserve.

The family farm tax, as it stands, will devastate farms across the country. The PM must reconsider.

Liberal Democrats are fighting to save the high street AND cut your cost of living. Our plan would cut your energy bills, slash VAT for hospitality, and put £270 back in your pocket.

Donald Trump is gunning for the BBC, and Farage is cheering him on. Want to know why? Follow the money…

I'm always delighted to see my beautiful constituency used as a filming location. From 'The Crown' to 'The Traitors', there's nowhere like it. A little history of Ardross Castle, ahead of tonight's final. @ClaudiaWinkle if you need any help next season, you know where I am.

We just stopped Nigel Farage’s plan to drag Britain out of the ECHR and tear up people’s rights. Farage wanted to scrap Churchill’s legacy and bring us closer to Trump's America.

Reform’s infighting and incompetence have seen them fall apart in Cornwall. While Reform bickered amongst themselves, Lib Dems focused on delivering for people, making the Liberal Democrats the largest party in Cornwall. @BenMaguireMP
