Massive opportunity, so it's good to see some ambition.

People are sick of both Labour and the Tories. In 2019, 75% of people voted Labour and Tory combined. Last year, 57%. If one was held now, it'd be less than 40%.

We can definitely fight off Reform and Tory in some seats if we appeal to Labour voters without putting off the voters gained last year.

Brexit has been a resounding disaster. Starmer must find the courage to change course | Ed Davey Poll after poll shows most voters think leaving the EU has been a failure. Closer ties with Europe would bring huge rewards, says Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey

Ed Davey still the only leader of any main party making any sense right now.

He's absolutely right.

No one "joined" Corbyn's party. They signed up for emails.

Today, our capital proudly marks seven years of London Trans+ Pride.

As trans rights come under increasing pressure across the UK, this year’s march is a vital reminder: London is a city that stands for equality, dignity and pride - for everyone. 🏳️‍⚧️

We'll be absolutely fucked next election because Labour is shite and Corbyn's new party is gonna split the vote and Reform will win.

Petition: Ensure plurality of political coverage across UK broadcast media at all times We want to ensure that a plurality of views from all political parties in Westminster are represented and the nations parliaments are heard all year round, not just election times. The rules for cover...

We’re over 5k sigs now. If you want to hear all our parties and not just have the GE framed four years out by constant over platforming of one party, then make sure you sign this petition. Democracy is at stake. Pass it on. We need to get to 10k by sept 13th. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

I think we're looking good now. Still got Pereira, we've got a new LB, we've got new CBs, we've still got one of the most stacked midfields in the league, now we just need a few more signings, but they know what they're doing, we'll be just fine.

In this hypothetical scenario, the Tories would jump on that opportunity so quickly to stay relevant though

A quote from Nigel Farage: "If Brexit is a disaster, I will go and live abroad, I'll go and live somewhere else"

Nigel Farage has lied many times, but this is one of his biggest. Kinda wish he was telling the truth with this one. Why hasn't he fucked off yet?

So no policies Nigel doesn't have a clue, doesn't want to answer questions, and gets all the attention, even though he claims the media is out to get him, but there's no time for Ed Davey who actually wants to say something other than "I don't know" ffs.

Ed Davey was right about the BBC.

12 min - Nigel Farage's interview in which he didn't have answers to many of the questions asked by Laura Kuenssberg

7 mins - Ed Davey's interview in which he wanted to answer questions from Laura Kuenssberg but they conveniently ran out of time

The over platforming of Reform continues this morning but for a change several other parties are being represented - LibDems and SNP for a change. The broadcast media know we have a point but we need to keep up the pressure. Plurality now. Sign and pass on. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Ed Davey is listening to us on this issue. I’m sure the other parties will bring it up too. But it’s not just the BBC. All the broadcasters are over platforming Reform. Our petition is now close to 5k. Sign and pass on. We must hear ALL our parties much more petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

After last night, England may be better at Football than Sweden but when it comes to budgets, we could still learn a thing or two. 🇸🇪⚽️

Photo of Sarah Olney MP speaking in the House of Commons. Quote from Sarah "Liberal Democrats have campaigned for votes at 16 for well over twenty years and so we welcome this decision. "However, there appears to be an Elon Musk-shaped hole in the Government’s proposed changes to elections. "Ministers must go much further to close the door to foreign oligarchs interfering in British politics."

It’s a nonsense that up until now, 16 and 17 year olds have been able to pay taxes and served in the Armed Forces, but not have their say in elections.

Votes at 16 is a no-brainer - after all, it has worked hugely well in Scotland and Wales and ensured that young people are engaged in politics.

If the only way you'll ever hear someone call out Nigel Farage's destructive, divisive politics on the BBC is for me to do it, then so be it.

Polite Notice.

let’s get petition to 5K. Only 229 to go. As well as this write to your MP, DCMS + all broadcasters BBC ITV Ch4 Ch5 (iTN), Sky. Don’t forget radio too &OFCOM. Let them know we want plural coverage in a multi party country. No over platforming Democracy at stake petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Well you're both right...

And why's that? Is that because Keir Starmer is some kind of political genius, or is it because the Conservatives fucked this country so badly that most people were sick to death of them, and would take any other fucker as PM instead?

❓If the government admits that First Past the Post is unsuitable for mayoral elections, why does it intend to keep it in place for general elections?

Thank you, Sarah Olney MP, for raising this issue in Parliament.

Whatever the election, FPTP is not fit for purpose. It must be replaced.

Nigel Farage’s support has ‘topped out’, pollster claims It comes as a number of recent opinion polls show Reform’s lead in the polls falling, as the party begins to face growing media scrutiny over its policies and after it continues to be hit with scandal...

This pollster says that Reform's Momentum has stopped.

I'm not trusting this at all right now, and it won't happen, but this would be absolutely fucking disastrous if it did

You reckon it would've been better if Tories won a majority in 2010 instead? Would've been worse without the Lib Dems.

Not saying the coalition was the right choice, but still.

'The UK media will dedicate one twelfth of its attention to those stories that it did to events at Glastonbury...make of that what you will.'

@mrjamesob.bsky.social responds to news of Palestinian children being killed while queueing for water in Gaza due to Israel's 'technical error'.

Describing one of your own supporters who was a volunteer firefighter being killed and one of Epstein's pedo mates surviving as "iconic" is genuinely fucking disgusting, but also very unsurprising coming from someone like you.

Evil piece of shit.

How long until Gregg Wallace is talking about Jesus then?
