I see the racist US President attacking London and its Mayor yet again, this time in the fascist rag Sun. It's all so depressingly predictable. #Trump

Appalled but not surprised to learn that "lifelong Tory" Lib Dem Cllr Dean Field voted for the Buckinghamshire Tory Budget last week. What's the point of electing a "Lib Dem" if he's going to vote with the Tories. None. #Wendover

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

In remarks on the Iran War, Trump spent more time talking about drapes and his ballroom than he did honoring the US soldiers killed in the action.

Fact Check: Trump DID start this war.

The Pentagon confirmed there was no evidence Iran was going to attack the U.S.

No imminent threat. No exit plan or strategy.

Just more lies from this regime as they cost the lives of service members and innocent civilians.

The President who demanded a Nobel Peace Prize for himself sure gave up negotiations quickly to start a war with Iran.

What a disaster, Americans don't want another war in the middle east.
