Trump’s war - backed by Badenoch and Farage - is already hurting people's pockets. We must act now. Our plan to Keep Britain Moving would cap bus journeys at £1, wherever you need to go.

Liberal Democrats have been fighting tooth and nail to ensure local elections go ahead and that people can have a say on how their communities and local councils are run. @EdwardJDavey has written to Kemi Badenoch urging her to call on Conservative peers in the Lords to back our fatal motion - which would block the government's plans and reinstate the cancelled local elections.

Nigel Farage has pocketed more than £400,000 from GB News this year. No wonder he's cheering from the sidelines as Trump tried to destroy the BBC.

Rejoining Erasmus is a real opportunity to start repairing the disastrous Conservative Brexit deal. We are pleased the government has finally listened to us on that. However it must be a first step on a clear roadmap to a closer relationship with Europe. Starting with negotiating a bespoke UK-EU customs union, and committing to a youth mobility scheme for benefit of the next generation.

The silent majority of British people are crying out for politicians to come up with practical solutions on immigration. That means recruiting more caseworkers, getting the backlog down, letting asylum seekers work and pay their way and creating safe and legal routes for refugees.
