The Liberal Party stands by the people of the Falklands Islands' right to self-determination in defiance of US President Trump's bullying and blackmail after the leaking of a Pentagon email questionning US support for the British claim to the islands.
We believe the US President's attempt at punishing the UK for not supporting his illegal intervention in Iran threatens to encourage Argentina and its leadership into a repeat of the 1982 invasion of the self-governing island.
The revelation that the US is re-accessing its support for the UK’s sovereignty of the islands should act as a wake-up call for the UK government to ensure that the South Atlantic island and other British Overseas Territories are properly safeguarded from any foreign intervention.
“On Friday, as Leader of the Liberal Party, I will be delighted to join the Liverpool Somaliland community as it celebrates 35 years of being an independent democratic county. This former British protectorate should be recognised by the UK and welcomed into the Commonwealth and not be held hostage to the dysfunctional state of Somalia.
Many of the Somaliland community came to the UK having valiantly served in the British army and navy.”
Cllr Steve Radford

The Liberal Party is pleased to confirm the following candidates stood for the party on the 7th May 2026.
With the increasing move towards all out elections every 4 years, elections are now on a more drawn out schedule.
The Scottish Liberal Party contested the Scottish Parliamentary election in the regional contest for the West Scotland Region.
We are grateful to Allan Steele and Andrew MacGregor for putting themselves forward for this election.
For the City of Lincoln Council elections Tinashe Chipawe contested the Carmholme Ward for the Liberal Party.
In Reading, Stephen Graham contested the Norcot ward of Reading Borough Council in a tight field of 6 candidates, increasing his tally of votes against an upsurge in support for the local Reform and Green candidates.
In 2027 we should be seeing candidates in Liverpool, North Yorkshire, Devon and Reading which is still on thirds. With the pending reorganisation of local government, it is possible that there may be further election next year.
We are grateful for our supporters, benefactors and local election agents for enabling our candidates to run.
As a party we are always happy to speak to like minded Liberals and Independent candidates looking to seek nomination to represent their local communities.
