Wales: The Lib Dems in Wales unveiled their Senedd manifesto ahead of the May 7 election, emphasizing a “More Robust Wales within a More Robust UK,” and setting conditions on post-election cooperation that would rule out independence-related spending. This reflects a continuation of their unionist stance and focus on devolved powers and funding for Wales. [BBC live coverage, 2026-04-14] [BBC live coverage, 2026-04-14]

Scotland: The Lib Dems in Scotland launched a manifesto focused on fairness across health and social care, with pledges including a £100 million emergency insulation fund and investments in major infrastructure. The campaign positions the party as a realistic alternative aiming to “change with fairness at its heart.” [STV, 2026-04-16]

UK-wide context: The Lib Dem manifesto for the 2024 UK general election remains a reference point for their policy direction, including plans on social care, NHS funding, and a pro-Europe stance. While the current focus is on devolved elections and regional campaigns, national themes persist in their messaging. This 2024 platform is frequently cited in discussions of Liberal Democrat policy directions. [Lib Dems UK manifesto 2024 document] [BBC/press coverage of 2024 launch]
