I’ve done exactly this, and I haven’t looked back! I’ve been welcomed into the Liberal Democrats with open arms. No judgement, no hostility, just decent people who genuinely want to make a difference. To any Green Party members who feel their party has lost its way, you don’t have to put up with it. There’s a political home for you in the Liberal Democrats, where people are brought together rather than pushed apart.
NEW: The Lib Dems have written an open letter to Green members who are unhappy with the direction of the party, encouraging them to defect. The letter is aimed at those members who feel nature and climate change has slipped down their party’s priorities and says “you have a home with us”.

The key lesson from the US mid-terms for everyone in or aspiring to politics is: * Never take your original support for granted. * Don't let power go to your head. * And respect the voters who put you there. Trump failed on all 3 measures.

At a Highways (Financing) Bill Scrutiny Committee meeting in Parliament yesterday, and we're pleased that the @LibDems' @OllyGloverLD MP referenced our director of public affairs and policy, @RHADeclan who gave evidence to them last week. The discussion is on the impact that road users avoiding toll roads has on neighbouring routes - which can hit local economies. Declan urged MPs to take realities of transport operators into account when financing new projects. This includes on new tolls at a time when insolvencies and cost pressures are high. He also reiterated that our industry must adequately represented to ensure its needs are considered as the Bill is being further developed. #RHACampaigns #RHAInfrastructure

And this in the same year as voters turfed out Orban in Hungary. Good things can happen. Better things are possible. Democracy can deliver.

This is an extraordinary result: a rejection of Vučić’s government’s authoritarian suppression of opposition and a victory for democracy and free speech. The Student List have shown amazing courage. Putin will be furious to lose one of his loyal allies. theguardian.com/world/live/2…

In Serbia, @avucic has conceded defeat. The Students’ List has won an absolute majority in the elections. Celebrations have begun in the streets across Serbia. Sound familiar?

Very bright headlights are a major hazard on unlit roads during dark hours. We all need to consider what we can do ourselves to prevent this, but it is critical the government understands the issue better and takes regulatory action. independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

Imagine giving 53 years to your party, then being told you can't stand because you believe in human rights. The Tories have lost a decent man & a powerful voice for London. Yet again, Badenoch’s Conservatives are happy to chase Reform UK and exclude tolerant, liberal Londoners

They say imitation is the best form of flattery, so good that the government has embraced this Lib Dem policy. They can be similarly enlightened by listening to us on the need for tough action on illegal use of e-bikes, and for stronger service standards on public transport.

Сегодня Петербург подвергся массированной атаке беспилотников. Для меня это удары по сердцу. Петербург – мой родной город, где остаются почти все мои родные, друзья и близкие. Я искренне тревожусь за них, за любимый город, за каждого мирного человека, чья жизнь и безопасность оказались под угрозой. Но при всей этой боли и тревоге мы должны ясно понимать главное: основной виновник происходящего – Владимир Путин. Именно он развязал подлую, бессмысленную, кровавую и преступную войну против Украины. Именно он принес войну на украинскую землю, а теперь ее последствия приходят и в российские города. Украина защищается. Украина имеет право защищаться от агрессии и наносить ответные удары по военным объектам и инфраструктуре, обеспечивающей путинскую военную машину. И она будет продолжать сопротивление, пока продолжается российская агрессия. Можно и нужно переживать за Петербург, за его жителей, за своих близких. Но нельзя позволять этой тревоге заслонять правду о том, кто начал эту войну и кто несет главную ответственность за ее продолжение. Не Украина принесла войну в Россию. Это Путин принес войну в Украину – и теперь она возвращается в Россию, в Петербург. Я хочу, чтобы мой родной Петербург жил в мире. Чтобы его жители не боялись ночных взрывов. Чтобы никто не погибал – ни в Петербурге, ни в Киеве, ни в Харькове, ни в Одессе. И путь к этому только один: прекращение путинской агрессии, вывод российских войск из Украины и окончание этой преступной войны. У этой войны есть имя. Кровавая кремлевская чмоль Владимир Путин. Путин не из Петербурга. Он из КГБ.
