How much longer are we going to bury our heads in the sand? Line after line is being crossed - we cannot afford to wait until it’s too late. Liberal Democrats are calling for for a global treaty to press pause on the development of super intelligent AI before it’s too late.y

We are taking the fight to the Conservatives and Reform. Farage has two routes to No.10: Crypto billionaires buying his way in or Kemi Badenoch handing him the keys. We’re determined to stop him. @LisaSmartMP

War in Europe. China flexing its economic power. Trump unsettling old alliances. The world has changed, and Britain must adapt. Our security and prosperity depend on a stronger partnership with Europe. @AlPinkerton

My father came to Britain from East Africa with hope and ambition. Yet now nearly 1 million young people are not in education, employment or training. Lib Dems believe every young person deserves the chance to fulfil their potential. @munirawilson

When the people building AI say they're afraid of what they're building, the Government must act. With @LisaSmartMP and @SarahJOlney1, I've written to the Prime Minister calling for an Emergency AI Summit, hosted here in the UK, and introducing the long-promised AI Bill.

We cannot get the best out of this technology if we cannot protect people from the worst. We're still waiting for government action, as well as an AI Bill. We're also offering to work together with our Liberal Vision for AI - get your copy here ⬇️ bit.ly/LiberalAIVision

We cannot get the best of AI if we cannot protect people from the worst of it. As industry leaders increase calls for urgent action, we cannot wait any longer. I’ve written to the AI Minister to urgently address these concerns and work together on this growing challenge.

This report is incredibly sobering. AI safety cannot be an afterthought - everyone should be paying attention. But, our Government continues to dither and delay - they must properly empower our AI security institute to address any possible threats from frontier systems.

Women are suffering horrific injuries and dying in childbirth. This national scandal cannot continue. This week, we’ll force a vote in Parliament to demand safer maternity care for every mum. Britain must be the safest place to have a baby.

My thoughts on the Chancellor's speech this morning. We need a far more radical vision to unleash growth, including a new Growth and Defence Partnership with Europe to supercharge our economy.

Farage has always behaved as though the rules apply to everyone but him. These allegations against Reform look like the latest example. Lib Dem Cabinet Office spokesperson @LisaSmartMP has written to the police and the electoral commission asking them to investigate.
“It worked, boom.” That’s Nigel Farage celebrating a Reform UK plot to break election law - by having a US company secretly pay for three influential political polls that benefitted the party. Earlier in the investigation, Reform’s Head of Policy James Orr and senior advisor Dan Jukes arranged for a Verbatim reporter to pay for the polls through a US company. Orr and Jukes believed the firm was run by the reporter’s American father. Mr Farage was filmed by undercover reporters from @Verbatim_Media as part of a year-long investigation that Channel 4 News has thoroughly checked and verified. This meeting took place in his Clacton constituency in July - when Mr Farage was fighting a by-election he called after separate allegations about his finances. Watch the full investigation on YouTube.

Farage has, again, shown a disregard for the rule of law, a disregard for decency and a disregard for Britain. This unbelievable undercover operation shows he cares more about lining his own pockets.
