The Liberal Democrats must be the first and last line of defence against the populism infecting our politics.

We need to be ready to fight for the soul of our country.

When hundreds of NHS staff aren't getting basic pay & conditions and the board refuse to negotiate - intervening in it a board meeting is necessary.

Reform faced first ever council seat defences - they lost both of them Reform UK faced their first ever council seat defences this week, and they managed to lose both of them.

ยฃ50,000 of taxpayers money was spent on these elections, both prompted by Reform resignations.

Tories & Lib Dems beat reform

If only more voters learned their lessons so quickly

MPs have taken over ยฃ2.3m from private healthcare, exposed by Every Doctor campaign.

Meanwhile at Epsom Hospital, porters & cleaners are told thereโ€™s no money for basic NHS pay.

Let's make sure we've got the basics covered and defend our NHS.

They may not yet realise it, but when all is said and done, the UK voter is left with two non-toxic options: LibDems or Green.

Some might argue that if you're a 'Secret Lemonade Drinker' it's probably not a good idea to write a song about it and appear in a long-running advertising campaign.

That said, this Ray Brooks voiced version of the ad, where we finally discover that he's been Mr Benn all along, is just perfect.

Ex-Reform deputy launches new party to rival Nigel Farage - Politics.co.uk The new party will be known as Advance UK, Ben Habib said in a post to X (formerly Twitter).

Will this will be a damp squib or could it split the Reform vote?

Politics is not a game. It's people's lives.

The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty.

It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.

A MESSAGE FOR MPs.

As a consultant clinical psychologist, I must be clear: this Green Paper will cost lives, deepen despair, and worsen inequality. Vote no to #DisabilityBenefits cuts.

The new plans for College Green look great.

It'll take political and public pressure to get it done - the Greens will be backing it all the way.

Iโ€™m voting against disability benefit cuts because I oppose them, but the process by which this Bill is being rushed through without necessary information or adequate scrutiny, is reason enough for MPs to vote against it on Tuesday.

This is not how we should make laws.
