This ruling shows that proscribing Palestine Action was a grave misuse of terrorism laws.

Labour must accept its mistake, drop its appeal and stop wasting taxpayers' money on suppressing civil liberties.

Watch @JoshBabarinde.bsky.social directly call out the harmful, racist rhetoric pushed by members of Reform.

Letter: 'Parliament should bring back the Climate & Nature Bill' Protecting the local environment and tackling the climate crisis were among my main motivations for getting into politics.

📣 @dannychambers.bsky.social: “The Climate & Nature Bill would've made the UK a world leader in tackling both the climate and nature crises with a joined-up plan that listened to scientists and turned their recommendations into action. I hope the Government brings the #CANBill back to the Commons."

It’s clear we need a full statutory inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein’s ties with the British political establishment and the impact on his victims, including the disgraceful leaks from Peter Mandelson at the very top of government and the impact on national security.

Fantastic win in East Dunbartonshire, where we’ve beaten the Conservatives into 6th place.

Right across the UK, former Conservative voters have heard Kemi Badenoch tell them loud and clear that they’re not welcome in her party – and are backing us instead.

We cannot trade away our political freedoms or our national security. Starmer must make that clear.

Red lines mean nothing if we let China cross them.

Harrased by ICE when leaving church...

Greg Bovino Loses His Job The Border Patrol chief has been ousted from his role as “commander at large,” and will return to El Centro.

Bovino was forced out of Minnesota because the American people stood firm. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in below-freezing temps to peacefully defend their neighbors & freedoms.

We’ll keep fighting. No more deaths at the hands of rogue DHS agents.

The United Kingdom is at its best when we’re true to our values: tolerance, decency, respect for individual freedom and the rule of law.

We can't let Nigel Farage throw that all away by turning Britain into Trump’s America.

Choose a brighter future with the Liberal Democrats.

Enough appeasement: Britain needs its own ‘trade bazooka’ to take on Donald Trump | Ed Davey It’s time to stand up for ourselves. With targeted action and tariffs, we can help push back the bully-in-chief, says Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey

Trump is acting like an international gangster.

The Prime Minister has tried appeasing him for 12 months and has failed. It's time we finally stood up to him and united with our European allies to make him back down.

Just as films are rated according to their content, online platforms should be rated according to the risks they pose.

Our message to social media giants is clear: if your platform spreads harmful content or relies on addictive and algorithms, you should not be allowed anywhere near our children.

The PM must tell Trump in no uncertain terms: if he goes ahead with these outrageous tariffs and continues to bully Greenland, there’ll be no state visit to the US in April.

The UK must not be a doormat for an extortionist, or reward Trump’s behaviour with the pageantry he craves.

Keir Starmer failed to answer my question at PMQs, so today I’ve written to his minister to demand action.

She should strip South East Water of their licence immediately.

Thousands of people are still without water. The Government has no time to lose.

An edit of a 'Traitors' confessional shot with Robert Jenrick sat in the chair. The caption identifies him as 'Robert' 44, Wannabe PM and a traitor'.

Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward

Watched Saving Private Ryan again this evening. I think it is obvious what my Father's generation were fighting for... and it was'nt Trump....

I was pleased that the Spectator magazine published my letter this week. Please read on...

The UK should offer to send troops to Greenland as part of a joint NATO operation under Danish and UK command.

If Trump is serious about security, he'd agree to participate and drop his outrageous threats.

Tearing the NATO alliance apart would only play into the hands of Putin.

Why is Labour giving Trump a free pass to break international law?

We know what happens when US Presidents launch illegal wars. It’s why the Liberal Democrats opposed the Iraq War and it’s why we condemn Trump’s law-breaking in Venezuela today.

“A customs union would eliminate the paperwork, tariffs and quotas that are choking our trade.”

@AlPinkerton.bsky.social

Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela.

Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe.

Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

Reform is mired in scandals of racism, corruption and Russian interference.

It's no wonder more and more people are turning to the positive voice of the Liberal Democrats as the antidote to this divisive politics.

Putin tells Russians that they invaded Ukraine to fulfill Russia's destiny. None of the lies about NATO and the EU fed to us by Russia's tools like Farage, Gill, and Arron Banks. (Thanks @berlinbridge.bsky.social)

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk , @ldbrianmathewmp.bsky.social , on the off-chance that this is not just click bait, perhaps you could ask the Home Sec whether refugees' looted possessions will be auctioned off regionally (e.g. Devizes has a good auction house) or centrally, like old army Land Rovers.

There is a direct line between Donald Trump trying to destroy the BBC and him excusing the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Trump hates the independent free press – whether in the US, Saudi Arabia or the UK. We will always defend it.

"It's disgraceful that Nigel Farage is egging Donald Trump on as he attacks our institutions, our media, and the pockets of millions.”

@EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk

Trump and his cronies have the BBC in their sights. Leaders can’t stay silent while one of our great institutions is attacked.

We must defend its independence, end political appointments, and remove Robbie Gibb from the Board.

You don't get coverage like this on Russian TV without Kremlin approval. The Kremlin knew Farage would be a useful tool, and such he has been and continues to be.
