In the past the Lib Dems were quite good at standing up for privacy and liberties when Lab and Con were both agreeing on more intrusion, but I'm not sure if that's still the case

Lib Dems did vote against the Investigatory Powers Bill (2016), and Nick Clegg blocked the original Snoopers Charter (Draft Communications Data Bill). So they have good form on this.
However, since 2016 the party almost exclusively shifted focus to opposing Brexit... which is ironic for a party that describes itself as "Liberal Democrats," trying to overthrow a public referendum (the strongest form of democracy)
The party seems to have lost its way, sadly.
