| How time flies! One year ago, Liberal Democrats won 72 seats to become the largest third party in Parliament in 100 years.
Years of Conservative chaos and neglect left the country with broken public services, a cost-of-living crisis, and sewage filling our rivers. Our stunning success was a sign of hope.
With the Labour Government lacking the ambition and urgency needed to clean up the Conservatives’ mess, we’re standing up as an effective opposition.
Ever since the election, our local champions have been working hard to fix our broken health and care services, help with the cost-of-living, and deliver the change the country is crying out for.
One year on, we’re stronger than ever, with local election victories and policy wins, Lib Dems are making a difference.
But we couldn’t have got here without you, John - thank you for your support! | |
 Relive our historic campaign! | Do you have a touch of nostalgia for our campaign which gripped the nation?
Who could forget Ed’s famous bungee jump or his heartfelt reflections on being a carer?
Sit back and relive some of our campaign highlights below: | | | 
 | We couldn’t have done it without you, John! | The Liberal Democrats only function due to the hard work and dedication of our volunteers.
Everyone who knocked on doors, delivered leaflets, donated to our campaign, voted for us, or helped in any other way, made a difference and helped deliver our historic result.
However you supported us - thank you. | |
 | We’re making a difference | Our voice in Parliament has never been stronger and we’re using it to make a true difference to people’s lives.
Here are some of our policy wins since the election: 🔽 | 🍎 Free School Meals – Extended following years-long Lib Dem campaign.
☀️ Solar Panels – Required on all new-build homes under Max Wilkinson MP’s new ‘Sunshine Bill’.
✈️ Youth Mobility Scheme – Government to develop a scheme for young people to work and travel across Europe, adopting a key Lib Dem policy.
⚖️ Victim Protection – Government accepts Josh Babarinde MP’s bill to formally recognise domestic abuse crimes, plus Sarah Olney MP's campaign to make court transcripts free for victims of rape and sexual violence.
🐶 Puppy Smuggling Ban – Danny Chambers MP’s bill to stop the illegal import of mutilated pets to become law. | And we’re not stopping there! | |
Continuing our fight for a Fair Deal | Whether it be through bills, amendments, speeches, or votes, we’re using our voice in Parliament every day for bold action on the issues that matter. |  Tackling the health and social care crisis
Saving the NHS has been a key priority. At every opportunity, we’ve pushed the Labour Government to be much more ambitious on health, from providing timely GP appointments to fixing crumbling hospitals.
Ed Davey has also continued his campaign to support unpaid carers and end the social care crisis, with numerous PMQs on the topic, releasing his book on care, and a Christmas charity single with young carers. |  Helping with the cost-of-living
People are working harder than ever but struggling to make ends meet. Helping people get on in life is exactly what our fair deal is about.
In her response to the Spending Review this month, Daisy Cooper MP outlined why big banks, social media companies, and gambling giants should pay their fair share, to help fund public services and support those in need. |  Demanding action on polluting water companies
We’re demanding the Government do more to hold polluting water companies to account and reform the entire system to stop it ever happening again.
We’ve pushed numerous amendments in Parliament to these ends, including this month, when Lisa Smart MP tabled an amendment to hold water company managers liable for missing pollution commitment levels. |  Pushing for electoral reform
Back in December, Sarah Olney MP won a historic vote, when her bill to introduce proportional representation for Westminster elections and local government elections in England passed in the House of Commons - the first time a vote on this topic has ever done so. | |
| The Liberal Democrats are truly going from strength to strength.
This May, we had our 7th set of gains in a row at local elections across England. Controlling more councils than the Conservatives, we’re now the second party of local government!
With another crucial set of local elections and important Holyrood and Senedd elections coming next year - helping us set the foundations for the next General Election - there’s so much more work to be done, John!
Our fight for a fair deal has only just begun…
