Commenting on reports that Donald Trump is set to make a state visit to the UK in the summer, Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesperson Jo Swinson MP said:

"It is extremely disappointing that Trump has been granted a state visit in June when the opposition to rolling out the red carpet for him has been communicated widely.

Responding to the news that the First Minister intends to make a statement to parliament regarding "Scotland's political future", Scottish Liberal Democrat Leader Willie Rennie warned:

"The First Minister should take the opportunity to tell parliament that she is ruling out another independence referendum. She must tell parliament that she has learnt the lesson of Brexit, that breaking up long-term economic partnerships is damaging and divisive and that she does not want to inflict that on Scotland with independence.

Responding to a written parliamentary question answered by the Minister for Public Finance confirming that the Scottish Government still plan to reduce Air Departure Tax across the board by 50%, Scottish Liberal Democrat energy spokesperson Liam McArthur MSP said:

"While Ian Blackford joins other party leaders in meeting environmental activist Greta Thunberg, SNP ministers are sat squarely in the pocket of airline lobbyists. They are proposing pumping tens of thousands of tonnes of additional emissions into the atmosphere.

Scottish Liberal Democrats today said the SNP are "relying on a loophole big enough to drive a rubbish truck through" after a new study showed authorities aren't ready for the 2021 ban on landfill and that preparations are being made to send waste to Northern England and abroad.

The Waste Markets Study showed:

Today we join Christians in the UK and across the world in celebrating Easter- a time of reflection, renewal and redemption. Across the globe, Christians will come together to worship and spend time with family and friends in celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Meanwhile as liberals who believe in freedom of worship for all, we stand in solidarity with those Christians who are persecuted for their beliefs.

Five reasons to vote for the Liberal Democrats in the European elections on 23rd May.

1. To vote against Brexit

The Liberal Democrats are the only nation-wide party to have been fighting Brexit since the very beginning.

We've spent three years campaigning for a People's Vote with an option to remain in the EU.

I suspect that many people outside the church think that Christmas is the most important date in the Christian calendar. It isn't Christmas, but Easter. While at Christmas we celebrate Jesus, the son of God coming to earth, taking on human form and living like we do. At Easter, we remember he died for us and was brought back to life.

Scottish Liberal Democrats have today warned that the UK Government's "chaotic and cavalier" approach to Brexit is putting council services and projects at risk, after it was revealed that Scotland's local authorities have obtained over £100m from the EU over the past three years.

Figures collected by the Scottish Liberal Democrats from 30 of Scotland's 32 councils, show that at least £106.4 million of funding has been assigned to local authorities from EU sources since 2015/16.
