Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID. That’s not the kind of country we want to be. Liberal Democrats have always stood up to defend civil liberties against government overreach. We will fight tooth and nail to oppose these plans too.

The Conservatives have lost overall control of Surrey County Council for the first time since the 1990s after the Lib Dems won a local by-election. Voters in Surrey are backing the Liberal Democrats' community politics over the Conservatives, just as they did in the General Election.

Cheshire was once covered by sea! In the Triassic era, some 250 million years ago, advancing seas drying in the desert sun formed the salt deposits that Cheshire is now famous for. Fossils in the collection show ripples from these long-ago beaches #OceansMW

It is a scandal that corridor care is becoming normalised with thousands of patients left on trolleys for hours or even days on end. We are seeing shocking and dangerous long waits in hospital corridors, putting patient lives at risk and leaving staff struggling to cope.
