81 years ago today, the heroes of D-Day showed extraordinary bravery and sacrifice. We're proud of the role our city played in D-Day and the hospitality residents of Portsmouth showed to those going to fight.
The countdown has started as we get ready for Portsmouth Pride and UK Pride on Saturday! Equality has also been a core value for @libdems.org.uk in Portsmouth and across the UK, because we know that without real equality we can't build a better future

Reform UK refuse to rule out cutting essential services for children with Special Educational Needs.

I am increasingly disappointed that the concerns of the #LGBTQ+ community over what the Supreme Court judgement means for them are not yet being addressed. I have written to the Government asking them to make clear how trans and non binary rights will be protected.

I know my Trans & Non Binary friends will be worried, scared & confused today
The courts judgement needs careful consideration to understand its impact. Trans voices were not included yet this ruling affects them most. That’s deeply troubling.
Please know you are loved & accepted as you are 🏳️⚧️💛
Portsmouth City Council have confirmed that there will be no changes to bin collections during this bank holiday weekend. Please make sure you put out your bins by 6am as normal on your scheduled collection days.

Wishing Christians in the UK and around the world a peaceful and blessed Good Friday.
Today’s Supreme Court ruling won’t change the Lib Dem’s long standing support of and solidarity with the trans+ community, and with everyone who seeks to live their lives under control of their own bodies, and free from poverty, ignorance or conformity. Trans women are women, trans men are men, and non-binary and intersex folks are valid just as they are. It's time this was reflected in the law of the land, and Liberal Democrats will be at the forefront of pushing for that change. We will continue to support LGBT+ Lib Dems as they campaign for change, and we looking forward to welcoming the everyone to Portsmouth to celebrate UK Pride in June.
Following today's supreme court ruling, we will continue to support the work of LGBTQ+ Lib Dems and look forward to welcoming everyone to Portsmouth for UK Pride in June
No Mr Trump.

It's #WorldParkinsonsDay - aimed at amplifying awareness & understanding about Parkinson's disease internationally.
There is around 153,000 people living with Parkinson's in the UK & until there is a cure, there is @parkinsons.org.uk, who offer incredible support.
Thousands of older people feel like they’ve been left out in the cold - & the cold’s been let in - as Labour have turned away from the people who got them into power, & now pension rises won't even cover the cost of Labour's taxes on heating and living

"Today, President Trump is blindly lashing out against America’s closest allies and largest trading partners. His tariffs will deliver a hammer blow to people and businesses in Britain, the US and around the world." - Calum Miller MP
“The best way to end this crisis is to stand shoulder to shoulder with our European & Commonwealth friends. We must coordinate our response & strengthen our trading relations with our reliable allies. That's how we can protect our economy from Trump’s bullying.”
- @calummillerld.bsky.social
The best way to stand up to Trump's trade war is to back Pompey businesses.
Buy Portsmouth and support our high streets, our artists and our venues.

"From millions unable to get a GP appointment, to no end in sight to the cost of living crisis and water companies riding roughshod over our local environments, it is no wonder that so many are already disillusioned with this government. They have got it wrong on issues including winter fuel payment cuts and the job-destroying National Insurance tax hike." - Daisy Cooper MP
