The Tories will dismantle our democracy piece by piece in a manner that most of the electorate will not even notice. Gradually moving the UK to a one party centralised state with only token opposition. We need a #ProgressiveAlliance or #DemocraticAlliance to stop this.
It’s been an absolute privilege getting to know the powerful community at the African Caribbean Centre and helping them in their fight with Labour run Liverpool City Council. Today’s news that the application for a new school will not include any of the land around the centre is…
A man's been charged with rape. Speculation could collapse the case nottinghampost.com/news/news-opin…
This is a lie, they escorted Anti-racism protestors there - that’s what police do, preserve the peace. They did not ‘buss’ (sic) them there. The fuse was lit by racists like White Vanguard and Homeland, that you’re not going to condemn. Now Tommy Robinson is headed there and…
Essex police were literally escorting and bussing masked thugs to and from the protest in Epping. They were caught red-handed helping to light the fuse that led to violence. This is simply unacceptable.
Reminder UK had at most a quarter of its current immigration levels when in the EU, and that Brexit added to this by doing away with previous returns agreements But UK media and politicians on both sides don't point this out for fear of offending those who stupidly voted for it

The UK should be leading on this, not falling behind. Recognise the independent state of Palestine now and take the lead on securing a two-state solution and a lasting peace.
France will recognise Palestinian state, Macron says bbc.in/45loICQ
A bold and necessary step. Recognition of Palestine, alongside a secure Israel, is the only credible path to lasting peace. The UK should follow France’s lead.
Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine. I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September.…
More to the point, all those Reform supporters who are whinging about 16 year-olds getting the vote, seem quite comfortable with a 19 year-old running a council, responsible for a budget of £millions. What could possibly go wrong?
Bill Clinton was impeached by a Republican-led house because Clinton lied about receiving a consensual blow job by an adult woman. Now, the Republican-led house refuses to even investigate and impeach Donald tRump for being a pedophile rapist child abuser with Epstein.…
France recognises Palestine. So should the United Kingdom. Action this day.
Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine. J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.…
Today, my bill is already in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine – fulfilling my promise – for justice, for law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies. Full-fledged guarantees of the independence of anti-corruption agencies. Real opportunities to verify, so that any Russian…
Rivers like the Wye & Usk are vital to Mid Wales, but are among the UK's most sewage-polluted Water firms fail on standards, yet execs get millions & customers pay the price The Welsh Government now have the chance to put nature & people before profits shropshirestar.com/news/2025/07/2…
Looks like my feed tonight is full of posts by Reform UK, supporters, their goons and party apparatchiks.
Today I relinquish my role as leader of @LibDems in the #HouseofLords. Challenging but rewarding work especially at times when we had limited numbers of MP's . Delighted that Jeremy Purvis @PurvisTweed will now pick up the baton. @LibDemLords @EdwardJDavey
This is Facism, its what the Nazis did.
Reform should start recruiting shadow civil service departments now. We will need these to take over government departments as soon as Reform is elected as the civil service will do everything in its power to prevent Reform from doing anything.
Today is the big day!!! Don’t forget to #VoteLibDem for @Laura_McCracken in the Bromley Common & Holwood by election. Polls are open until 10pm… it’s gonna be a long day! I’ll be out and about in my bright yellow “Singing in the Rain” rain coat. Thank you to all of the Polling…
With #Farage's plan to send criminals to the UK's toughest prisons, he should start with those who wrote £350m on the side of a big red bus.

Really poor for @WalesPolitics not to have a Liberal Democrat on this when it is focused on rural affairs and the show is held in a Liberal Democrat constituency and Lib Dem-controlled council. 👎

With elections every 4/5 years, some young people wait until they are 21/22 before they can vote in a general election. We also need to act to make sure that young people are registered to vote, whatever the age of voting becomes.
