Ed Davey speaking about 'care' at the LibDem conference is outstanding - please let the party work with Burnham's government to develop a new, compassionate, properly funded National Care Service.

Fair play Ed Davey for condemning masked racist thugs on the streets of Britain. Why is it left to a Lib Dem leader to fill this chasm? #EdDaveySpeech #LibDemConference

Today at #LibDemConference, we have motion F38 about tackling dangerous and illegal e-bikes.

Legal e-bikes (sometimes referred to as Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles) have huge potential for #TransportDecarbonisation so it’s vital that the rules are enforced and where necessary tightened.

I am really, really annoyed about this, on the same day #LibDemConference passes a good #ActiveTravel policy.

10p off #FuelDuty was a bad policy in Apr when it was first mentioned & a bad policy now. With constrained supply all it will do is increase demand & drive prices up @greenlibdems.org.uk
