First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.

Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.

Tell Keir Starmer to change this.

Tell your MP: our democracy shouldn’t be a gamble! Our democracy shouldn’t be a gamble. First Past the Post fails 70% of voters. We urgently need to scrap it. I’ve asked my MP to attend a crucial briefing on how to do just that. Join me 👉

This May’s elections are expected to bring chaos because our voting system is broken.

I’ve written to my MP to push for fairer elections before it’s too late. It takes 2 minutes to do the same here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Ethics & Integrity Commission British politics has been plagued by scandals. We need a truly independent ethics commission with real powers to ensure those who break the rules face consequences.

🐦We're delighted to launch Liberals and Democrats for Nature and Climate — a new group working to strengthen liberal action on nature & climate.

It was great to hear from @pippaheylings.bsky.social and @eddavey.libdems.org.uk last night on how the Lib Dems can champion environmental action!

Restore the independence of the Electoral Commission We need a strong, independent Electoral Commission to keep our elections fair. The new Government needs to restore its independence in the forthcoming Elections Bill.

He can't keep ignoring this

More and more MPs are speaking out against our broken voting system. The Prime Minister can't ignore this any longer. We're urging him to kickstart the process of replacing our broken voting system. Sign the petition. secure.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/page/165296/...

This #InternationalWomen'sDay, it’s important to reflect on the progress we have made in Parliament to elect the most female MPs ever💪

But we are still a way off from gender parity.

We must continue to break down the barriers preventing women from becoming MPs & encourage greater representation.

Today is International Women’s Day, a time to celebrate women's stories and achievements.

We honour their impact and recognise the work still needed to achieve equality.

Together, may we uplift, empower, and create a world where every woman thrives.

Family farms are at the heart of our rural communities. Spent today with @steffanaquarone.bsky.social - listening to farmers who fear losing everything.

The government must listen to them too, and scrap the Family Farm Tax.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn.

It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

Delighted at this huge legislative win for LibDems, campaigners and community groups through a coordinated effort in both Houses. The govt amendment means a strong statutory steer towards community energy and benefits from renewable energy projects. Big congrats to all who campaigned for so long!

At #PMQs, I shared my constituents' frustration & lack of faith in the planning process.
#Affordable homes are a dream for many, but can turn into a nightmare when you cannot travel easily, or get a #GP or dental appt. I will continue to call for targets for infrastructure.

We need to fix our trading relationship with Europe to grow our economy and protect Britain from Trump’s trade war.

It's time to turbocharge our economy by forming a Customs Union with the EU, tearing down the trade barriers and red tape holding us back.

Ministers cannot allow this to spiral any further and must urgently grip this situation.

That must start with a government plan to winterproof the NHS and make this the last winter crisis.
