Lib Dems urge Starmer to let Labour MPs vote for 10-minute rule bill saying UK should join EU customs union.
Letter to Starmer:
“Even if the government retains its position of ruling out a customs union it is only right that you grant your MP’s the opportunity to express their support for it”

why the heck would the UK government want to weaken protections against torture? No, don't answer that, because any answer to it is going to be scary.

People should stop kidding themselves that we fought World War 2 to defeat fascism. We fought it to stop one country taking territory from others. Yes, some people could see the evil, but if Hitler hadn't invaded somewhere else, would we have fought him? I wish I could believe we would have.

Is it just me that can't work out whether Fifa were seriously pandering to Trump or laughing at him?

no, no, no. Glue. Tiara glued to a wig, and wig glued to head. Has to be. I bet she has a special stand for it too, that she got off Temu. Or JML. One or the other.

oh yes you can......

oh I hope SOOOO much that they don't apologise because that would mean no Farage on the BBC ever again! (But somehow I don't believe that's what would happen).

The Green Party did not cause this to happen 🙄 The most you can claim is you were pushing in the same direction as everyone else

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey just called for a national investigation into Russian interference in British politics.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against women and girls.

Violence against women and girls in the online space is a growing problem. As politicians and activists we have to be vigilant against forces which seek to silence women. Whether it’s digital abuse or the physical threat that it can quickly turn into, there is no excuse.

Brexit: “The most dishonest campaign in our history said it would save us £350m a week, but Brexit actually cost us £250m a day in 2025. That is why we have the highest taxes ever, that is why we have sky-high bills, that is why we have a cost of living crisis” @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Unprecedented levels of dad as @calummillerld.bsky.social sets up a decorating platform to show Ed Davey the illegal landfill without breaching the restriction order

surely Liz Truss was more incompetent and useless than Johnson? Both have huge egos, but I suppose she has the excuse of being generally clueless, whereas he is much more calculating. And at least she tries to dress herself properly and brush her hair.

like the people who move into new houses and then don't want any more new houses?

In the papers today, Lincolnshire residents objecting to a wind farm. Ok then, don't have a wind farm. Give them a nuclear power station instead. (Translation: what is the matter with people?)

I so want to believe this is a positive thing. I really hope it turns out that way, and is not being set up to deny young people help

Lib Dems to force vote on creating new customs union with EU Ed Davey’s party believes the move is the best way to ‘turbocharge’ economy, rather than tax rises

Ed Davey is writing to all Labour MPs urging them to back a bill in favour of a customs union with the EU as the best way to boost growth and raise revenue. The Lib Dems hope to demonstrate support among pro-EU MPs for the idea of a new customs union.

Goodness me, what self righteousness

That is such a ridiculous statement it isn't worthy of a response

🚨 BREAKING: Kent County Council is hurtling towards financial oblivion under Reform.

Today is Transgender day of remembrance. Every day should be that day until trans people stop being targeted for simply wanting to be who they are.

Photo montage of Alice. In the garden in her blue puffer jacket and pink bobble hat. Out on a walk with me in the same outfit. We’re standing side by side leaning into each other for the photo. As an infant with her Dad. Alice is beaming into the camera, at me, and Peter is looking at her in his arms beaming at her. Alice in her charity shop flying jacket that she wore all the time, drinking a gin and tonic from a large goblet glass.One of the last photos we have of her. Alice posing for a photo for her school year book. In cute rose tinted sunglasses, her baggy pink sweatshirt and the dark green dungarees she pinched off me.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance.

Sending love and solidarity to all trans+ people and those who have lost a trans+ loved one through violence or state oppression and neglect.

And a special thought for those who will have taken their lives without ever disclosing their trans identity.

I wish that were true. But Gunner clearly hates everything I believe in.
