A New Kind of Government: An Opportunity to Change Things
The news of a new coalition Government between the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives is a big change for this country. There will be many who are surprised, amazed or even upset at the news - it's certainly not how I imagined things would work out during the election campaign or indeed during my years of membership and support for the Party. But as Liberal Democrats, we surely came into politics to change things - and this deal sounds like it delivers such change, and a large proportion of the policies on which we have just fought the last election. It's a new kind of Government.

Regrets, but more votes than ever before
Last night was a disappointment for the Liberal Democrats. Even though more people voted for us than ever before, even though we had a higher proportion of the vote than ever before, it is of course a source of great regret to me that we have lost some really valued friends and colleagues and we have returned to Parliament with fewer MPs than before.

A digital world fit for the next generation
For too long, tech giants have treated children as data to be mined, using addictive algorithms and harmful content to keep them scrolling. While some are calling for blanket bans, we know these are impractical and risk isolating vulnerable groups.
