@mcsfoundation.bsky.socialThank you to Yi-Pei Chou Turvey MSP for coming to discuss electricity pricing with us at #LDConf today. Shifting social and environmental levies from electricity costs into general taxation would immediately cut bills by 9%. We hope to continue the conversation with you.
@barryhow2c.bsky.socialLib Dem leader Ed Davey will deliver a speech from #LDConf watch live > 14:30
He's expected to set out policies and speak about the global development of AI, and its "existential threat"

@fsb-uk.bsky.social🔶 We've been at #LDConf this week, representing the small business community.
✅ Pleased to have had productive discussions about the some of most pressing issues facing small businesses, including how to help our high streets thrive, community banking and how to get growth.
@mcsfoundation.bsky.socialWe were pleased to welcome @alisonebennett.bsky.social to the stand at #LDConf this afternoon to discuss levies on electricity pricing. Thanks to Alison for visiting us.
@rebeccajones03.bsky.socialDelighted to see my speech quoted in @theguardian.com! I'm so grateful for the opportunity to speak up for trans equality at #LDConf.
@josieproc.bsky.socialSpeaking at #LDConf on the regulation of e-bikes. This isn’t complicated. The legislation simply needs to catch up with the advance in technology on the ground. Good e-bikes good, bad e-bikes bad. Glad to say we voted to support this motion. How very sensible.
@paulhindley2210.bsky.socialIt is now Lib Dem policy to mutualise failing water companies.
The privatisation of the water industry has been a license for rich executives to extract billions of pounds instead of reinvesting it to benefit customers.
The Lib Dems now have a more radical policy on water than Labour. 🔶🤝🌊 #LDConf
@paulhindley2210.bsky.socialI was really proud to cast this vote to make mutualising failing water companies Lib Dem policy. 🔶🤝🌊 #LDconf
@rigg.lgbtWell, my speech in the AI motion didn't win the day, but i said my piece. And quoted Ripley. #LDConf
@paulhindley2210.bsky.socialFellow Liberal Democrats, let’s begin to mutualise the water industry!!! As Tim Farron says it’s “proper Grimond Liberalism”. Please vote for this motion. #LDconf
@underwater-tara.bsky.socialI spoke passionately at #ldconf on the need to sharply regulate AI, but I'm sad to say that not enough of the hall were convinced and the motion passed.
I think in 20 years, when Gen Alpha enter the workforce and cannot even think for themselves, everyone will have always been against this.
@mcsfoundation.bsky.socialGreat to see @clivejonesmp.bsky.social at #LDConf today! Thanks for coming to chat about electricity pricing and heat pump deployment in constituencies across the UK.
@paulhindley2210.bsky.socialThis is Liberalism 101! Trans Rights are Fundamental Human Rights!
I am very proud that the Lib Dems have become the first major party to officially reject the disgraceful EHRC ‘guidance’ on trans people. 🏳️⚧️🔶 #LDconf
@mcsfoundation.bsky.socialLast day at #LDConf. Thanks to @mp4stratford.bsky.social for visiting us at our stand this morning - fantastic to talk to Manuela about how levies affect electricity pricing in the UK, and how to bring those costs down.
@julieedwards.bsky.socialLaughter, awkwardness and a rallying cry on day 1 ..
Liberal Democrat Autumn Conference, Brighton — #LDConf #LibDems #UKPolitics #Brighton
@paulhindley2210.bsky.socialThis is a very important idea. I am really glad to see Ed Davey and the Lib Dems taking the political lead on highlighting the existential risks to humanity posed by super-intelligent AI. The negotiation of such a non-proliferation treaty won’t be easy, but it is an absolute necessity. 🔶👏 #LDconf
@acarpen.bsky.socialNEW VIDEO: @maxwilkinson.bsky.social introducing #LDConf to the threats of 'stalker-specs'. "The stats on Instagram tell us half the content filmed on such devices contain harassment" www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnJP... - Worth listening to their policy proposals in response.
@acarpen.bsky.socialNEW VIDEO: @pippaheylings.bsky.social Speech on the wildlife crisis at #LibDems Conference. "Six hundred degrees centigrade - that's how hot the underground wildfires at Dunwich Heath burnt" www.youtube.com/live/br_Z_iQ... 😱 #LDConf. "90% of the ancient heath was burned. Acres of blackened heath"
