Today's the day! The polls have just opened so remind your friends and family in the UK to go and vote. Vote for a Fair Deal. Vote Liberal Democrats.

What a result! Huge congratulations to all our new MPs! A special shout out to new MPs who are former members of LibDems in Europe and LibDemsinFrance - David Chadwick MP 🔶 Freddie van Mierlo MP 🔶 and Victoria Collins MP - and LibDems in Europe's honorary president Layla Moran 🔶🕊️. Well done

A shameful experience by so many who were effectively disenfranchised after being recently enfranchised. The Electoral Commission must help the new government fix this problem for next time! Chris Rennard 🔶💙🇺🇦

Permission to hit targets in russia with Western weapons is a matter of life and death for us. I supported the emergency motion by British Liberal Democrats to facilitate the use of Storm Shadow long-range missiles. It’s crucial.

#LibDemConf passes a motion calling for proportional representation, including our amendment to improve overseas voting. At the election, overseas voters from as close as Belgium couldn't return postal ballots in time to be counted. Let's stop that fiasco from happening again.

With fellow Lib Dems abroad alum David Chadwick MP 🔶 and old friend from Brussels George Cunningham 🔶️ - Lib Dems Abroad continue to advocate for voting rights, including overseas constituencies and ending postal ballots landing too late

Great Win for British Overseas Voters. Lib Dem conference policy makes each overseas vote count: ·     Secure electronic delivery of ballot papers. ·     Voting at British Embassies, Consulates & High Commissions ·     Heavily promoting proxy voting. libdems.org.uk/conference/mot…

It was a great honour to chair the meeting of the Alliance of Liberals & Democrats for Europe (ALDE) Policy Advisory Group on China in Estoril, Portugal. A real necessity for liberal decision makers to understand China's constantly evolving geopolitical impact on Europe.

Season's Greetings from Lib Dems Overseas to the members supporters and families of all Lib Dem local parties based in the UK - Happy Holidays from around the world! youtu.be/jaXe2jLYWeE

Today, I complete my 3-year mandate as Chair of @libdemsabroad & Chair of one of its 3 abroad "local parties" @libdemsoverseas (2018-21 & 2024). My thanks to colleagues for good cooperation & a great 2024 UK general election campaign abroad! Mark Pack 🔶 Chris Rennard 🔶💙🇺🇦 David Chadwick MP 🔶

Today, I co-chaired an excellent #ALDE meeting with EU decision-makers to try and chart a way forward on EU-China-US relations in the era of Trump 2.0 Despite challenges, the EU & USA must resume acting together to achieve a level playing field & reciprocity in trade with China.

It was good to be back on the diplomatic circuit yesterday in London to celebrate the 76th Republic Day of #India, a remarkable rising power. But saddened also for the deaths and injuries sustained at the #KumbhMela festival tragedy today. My condolences PMO India LibDems Abroad

"The so-called negotiation between Trump & Putin about Ukraine seems increasingly about shamelessly taking advantage of a devastated & weakened country to arrange a division of spoils". Read my latest take! And give all support for Ukraine to fight back! libdemvoice.org/trumps-steal-d…

The Liberal Democrats recognise the #UK must step up now in the face of Putin's illegal war on #Ukraine. We are calling on the Government to: 🔸 Reach 2.5% of GDP on defence asap. 🔸 Seize £25bn worth of frozen Russian assets. 🔸 Begin talks over a European Rearmament Bank.

See my article about the establishment of the UK's first home-grown far-right PAC. There is an urgent need for new safeguards to our electoral system. Labour must legislate this year, not 2026! libdemvoice.org/no-time-to-was…

I was delighted to greet former #Taiwan President Tsai Ing-Wen along with many #LibDem colleagues at #HouseOfLords today. Her speech emphasised growing friendly Taiwan-UK ties at a time liberal democracies face many challenges. Let the people of Taiwan chart their own future!

It’s utterly shocking that over 3 years on from Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, British companies are complicit in exploiting the loopholes which funnel wealth to the Russian front line. 🧵 newstatesman.com/politics/2025/…

With Trump now trying to sell out Ukraine to clear the path for a US-Russian economic partnership, the time has come for our leaders to come to their senses and to see that the U.S. under Trump is no real ally anymore. Read my analysis: libdemvoice.org/ukeurope-must-…

We need a strong relationship with the U.S. but on a different basis. Not today's subordinate client basis, but one of mutual respect built on regaining UK/Europe’s former strength/ability to act independently in our own defence. See my Liberator article: libdemsoverseas.com/news/article/s…
