👏 Keir Starmer PM: "How Brexit was sold and delivered was wrong. Wild promises were made to the British people and not fulfilled."
"The idea that leaving the EU was the answer to all our cares and concerns has clearly been proved wrong."
www.libdems.org.uk/press/releas... @eddavey.libdems.org.uk is spot on here. We need closer relations with Europe to ameliorate our #costoflivingcrisis
It’s time to admit what a disaster Brexit has been.
Liberal Democrats have a plan to fix our trade with Europe to turbocharge the economy, fix the cost of living crisis and properly fund our public services.
Excellent. Only @eddavey.libdems.org.uk has a policy to solve our #costoflivingcrisis

At least someone is standing up for #BBC and press freedom in the UK
The Prime Minister must pick up the phone now to Donald Trump. We have 24 hours to stop Trump’s billion-dollar raid on British licence fee payers.
We’ve written to the PM, calling on him to demand that Trump drop his ludicrous $1 billion lawsuit against the BBC.

The urgent need to revive democracy and the power of diplomacy

Anyone who has ever been to a @wiltonpark.bsky.social event knows that it’s a place of quiet diplomacy and soft power. Nick has pulled together a wonderful history of an institution that deserves to have its praises sung more often!
www.routledge.com/The-Policies... One of the joys of completing a multi-year project is reconnecting with long term friends such as @christinecheng.bsky.social I hope this survey of higher level discussions on security and global challenges since 1946 published by Routledge proves useful.
