We are deeply concerned about the election of Trump and the impacts that this presidency will have on the environment. From “drill baby drill” to vowing to cut the “green new scam”, there will be irreversible damage done to our planet.

Today, I asked the Prime Minister about how he plans to address President-elect Trump's troubling praise for Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine and his reckless stance on NATO.
The UK must lead in Europe to ensure strong support for Ukraine and uphold our shared security.

To those of us that believe that integrity, kindness and compassion are fundamental for a just, free and fair world, today's news from the US was a blow.
The fight for those values – for that vision – is why I am a Liberal Democrat.

With the geopolitical shock of a likely Trump win the UK needs to move immediately back closer to our European allies- including reopening the issue of the single market
The UK immediately needs to:
- Increase defence spending rapidly (rather than shrinking its army)
- Focus its military strategy on deterring Russian aggression in Europe (rather than confronting ‘global threats’)
- Work with European allies to defend Europe under a NATO that doesn’t have US support (rather than assuming that America guarantees European security).
Anything less would be a government dereliction of duty.

Ed Davey sums up how many in the UK are feeling about the terrible outcome overnight. The UK must now get serious about reengaging with the EU on trade, defence and other issues.

As I listen to Trump's victory speech, this is the key issue. It's clear that repairing the UK's relationship with Europe is now absolutely critical for our security.
“If you’re in Estonia right now, and you’re looking at this result, you don’t feel comfortable.”

Today is not a day to be dejected but to understand that standing up for civil rights, for inclusion and compassionate politics continues to be a battle.
This is the time for Liberals everywhere to not give up and fight for our values.

Kemi Badenoch's cheerleading of Donald Trump at PMQs shows the Conservatives are totally out of touch with our values
We should be standing up for human rights, the rule of law and international security - not rolling out the red carpet for Trump.
Derby Lib Dems retweeted
Now more than ever, we must stand up for the core liberal values of equality, democracy, human rights and the rule of law – at home and around the world.

This is an undeniably dark day and millions of people around the world will be afraid of what comes next. It's now more important than ever that we stand together, organise and continue to fight for our liberal values of equality, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.

Votes not yet all in but looks like hate is winning. The implications for security across the globe cannot be underestimated. Ukraine. Middle East. China. The UK will need to reevaluate its geopolitical centre of gravity.

8 years since the Brexit vote, the end of seamless EU trade is about to hit home.
It’s a story on cumbersome checks, paperwork + the people it's impacting. And ultimately it's about the British consumer + a supermarket staple: the humble bacon rasher.
