British citizens should be required to pay tax on world wide income to HMRC.
Outlaw use of tax havens and off shore accounts.
NEW: The Lib Dems are demanding MPs get a vote on allowing the US to use UK air bases.
Leader Ed Davey says:
“No matter how the Prime Minister tries to redefine offensive as defensive, this is a slippery slope. He must not let Trump drag Britain into another prolonged war in the Middle East.”
“Rarely has a British political party unveiled a programme that combines cruelty with impracticality on such an extravagant scale.”
Chilling on Reform’s increasingly confident fascism. High on viciousness and greed. Very low on wisdom. A ruinous combination.

Who?
British officials fear that a new 'Made in Europe' initiative will "freeze UK companies out of key supply chains, just as the reset gathers pace". The answer is simple - let's rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union.
Let's try this again 👋
Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.
I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?
Likewise private equity care home providers based off-shore and tax havens.
Public sector contracts should always be placed with UK tax based companies in the first instance.

Trump loves suing people.... so the PM should take a leaf out of his book. Starmer should sue the President for illegal damage to the British economy.
Don’t worry Donald - we will settle for £100bn, that’s how it works right?

I do hope you and your LibDem colleagues can find time in your busy schedules to attend this Parliamentary debate on Tuesday 24th.

Impressive margin.
Trump’s endless flip-flopping on the Chagos Islands shows why Starmer’s approach is doomed to fail.
Britain can’t rely on the US while Trump is in the White House. It’s time to strengthen our ties with allies we can depend on, starting with our neighbours in Europe.

The bickering between progressive parties about which is best placed to stop Reform in Gorton & Denton is tiresome.
Reform can win if and only if the progressive vote is split.
This underlines the point Labour ought to reform the electoral system for by-elections to give voters more power.
While the East Coast celebrates warmer weather this week, a catastrophe is unfolding in the West, Rebecca Boyle writes:
The Will of the People.
No, wait, not those people, they're wrong, she sneers.
On the weekend, I had the honour of pulling a half of the delicious #OdihamDrizzle in the newly rennovated Bell pub.
Huge congrats to the facebook.com/SavingTheBell team who have worked tirelessly towards this.
Do pop in if you have the chance 🍻
Labour should be listening to their own Andy Burnham to determine what a sensible Elections Bill should contain, if they don't like what Lisa Smart is saying for the LibDems
By refusing to even consider a customs union, Keir Starmer himself is the biggest block to closer ties with Europe.
Unless he changes that stance, this is all just meaningless blather
Less than 15% of MPs received more than 50% of the vote when elected. If we could rank candidates by order of preference it would ensure the person elected had the broadest support in their constituency.
@aoc.bsky.social is calling for accountability after ICE fatally shot Renee Nicole Macklin Good in Minneapolis. No one is above the law—justice must be transparent and real.
We stand for accountability, dignity, and human rights.
