Rejoin the Customs Union. Rejoin the Single Market.
The Liberal Democrats have been saying it for a long time.
It is good to see Andy Burnham is listening.

UK inflation, driven by a 4-year high in gas prices. The Conservatives' response? More gas, scrap renewables.
That puts them alongside Trump and Iran as the only nations with no climate targets. Meanwhile gas prices, heatwaves, wildfires and food shortages crush people and the economy.

The Conservatives and Nigel Farage helped create the small boats crisis with their botched Brexit deal.
Now they want you to blame everyone else.
Only Lib Dems have a real plan: work with our European neighbours to tackle it.

Disabilities don't start at 9:30 AM, and now disabled bus passes won't either.
Huge credit to Lib Dem MP Tom Gordon and campaign groups like Transport for All. Their fight against unfair restrictions has led to nationwide change for fairer, accessible transport!

Free local bus travel is a vital lifeline for many disabled people.
After an almost two-year campaign the Government has finally listened to Liberal Democrat calls to stop restrictions to disabled bus passes.
Disabilities don’t start at 9.30am. Neither should disabled bus passes.

Surrey County Council has launched a new option for residents without off-street parking to be able to charge their EVs from home by having a cable gully installed
The cable gullies allow residents to run a cable across the pavement, safely, to be able to benefit from cheaper home charging rates
