With more Lib Dem MPs than ever we have four writing for Liberator about how they see their role and what the party should do next.

Come and see us on stall H8 at Brighton.

WHAT WE DO NOW
To build on the 2024 result, Liberal Democrats must show they are the real opposition party and can challenge Labour authoritarianism, says Paul Kohler.

SOCK IT TO ME
Sorting out a constituent’s socks shouldn’t be an MP’s work, but the deluge of emails to a new one shows a better induction is needed, says Marie Goldman.

HOW TO INSPIRE THE NEW DAWNS.
Calum Miller borrowed Dawn’s vote in July. Now he wants the Lib Dems to give the ‘Dawns’ positive reasons to support the party.

FACE UP TO LABOUR
There’s a moral case to fight Labour in its urban heartlands, says Rachel Bentley.

CULTURE SHOCK
Westminster’s adversarial culture can drive good people out of politics. Sarah Green looks to the large crop of new MPs to change that.

RACE AGAINST TIME
Six years after a report told the party how to campaign among ethnic minority communities little has happened. The Lib Dems will pay the price at the ballot box, warns Janice Turner.

CAN HARRIS DO IT?
Kamala Harris’s late entry into the US presidential race has spared her several dangerous moments and united a fractious party like never before, says Martha Elliott.

PUBLIC BAD OR PUBLIC GOOD?
The Tories thought growth came only from private firms. Does Labour think the same, asks William Tranby.

ACTION CALL AS BANKS VANISH
Financial exclusion is getting worse and needs an answer, says Claire Tyler.

40 YEARS ON
The Liberal Revue delivered 14 full performances and a ‘crucifixion’ from its 1984 start until 2008. Mark Smulian looks back at when satire took centre stage.

REINTERPRETING RAWLS
The American Liberal philosopher John Rawls may be little known but his ideas remain important. Simon Banks looks at a new book that seeks to put Rawls in a modern context.
