The United Kingdom is at its best when we’re true to our values: tolerance, decency, respect for individual freedom and the rule of law.

We can't let Nigel Farage throw that all away by turning Britain into Trump’s America.

Choose a brighter future with the Liberal Democrats.

Labour Cambridge says it’s One Cambridge Fair for All. In deeds money talks. Shame on them @CambridgeLDs

Rachel Reeves admits Brexit has damaged the economy but won’t take the steps needed to fix it.

Lib Dems have a plan to rebuild Britain’s trade with the EU and boost growth.

Fix Britain's Trade Liberal Democrats want to turbocharge our economy by forming a Customs Union with the EU, tearing down the trade barriers and red tape holding us back.

55% pay increase after cutbacks in staff and services - speaks for itself!

Lisa Nandy questions lack of BBC sackings over Gaza war documentary Culture secretary says BBC must ‘get a grip’ in wake of film featuring son of Hamas official and Bob Vylan Glastonbury row

Maybe time for Labour to get on governing the country rather than trying to turn the BBC into a government mouthpiece? How about heads rolling for the Disability benefits cuts fiasco which government is responsible for? www.theguardian.com/media/2025/j...

BBC News

Truly scary scenes of US Defence Secretary whipping up uniformed soldiers into a cheering frenzy against workery with eulogy for MAGA and Trump. Looks like an armed political movement.

More like this than recycled Enoch Powell from our cynical government please! @cambridgelds.bsky.social

Great to see this remarkable liberal moment in Canada - a stand our UK government is not taking…

Major US retailers warn Americans will pay more because of Trump’s trade war with top partners, report says – live

3/3 He has now said he’s not on Ukraine’s side. We need to hear unmuted support for Zelensky in Europe this weekend

2/3 Tonight’s ambush in the Oval Office shows beyond doubt that Trump is working to make himself a peacemaker with no care for the price to others, the stability of what follows or the lesson for invaders.

1/3 Looks like Starmer and Macron achieved nothing earlier this week except to keep their own much safer noses clean.

These sky-rocketing GP waits are a grim reality for millions on a daily basis.

The Conservative neglected our NHS and brought it to the brink but Labour's lack of ambition in rebuilding our health service has been shocking.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn.

It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

This void of leadership in the UK leaves British values unsupported at home and encourages Trump to believe we have no compass of our own @cambridgelds.bsky.social

‘We can’t just be supine’: Ed Davey urges Starmer to stand up to ‘bully’ Trump

Cuts to public toilets and higher swimming fees in 'difficult' local budget Cambridge City Council has proposed a host of cost-cutting measures in its draft budget to bridge an £11.5 million gap

If Labour wants to ask the public, it should listen to what they say @cambridgelds.bsky.social

trump frags economy with tariffs

Trump’s fentanyl excuse for Tariffs against Canada is a lie, of course. Like everything else he’s been doing. The amounts are relatively tiny and he knows it. But Canada does ironically have a legitimate complaint about the big amounts of fentanyl coming to Canada from the United States.

A pity this move by Lib Dem Cllr Olaf Hauk narrowly failed last week. Time to think again with carbon impact data in play @cambridgelds.bsky.social

Calls to delay recycling contract that will see Cambridgeshire waste sent to Northern Ireland

Cambridge Folk Festival 2025 cancelled ahead of 60th anniversary The festival attracts thousands of people and has hosted the likes of Robert Plant and Van Morrison.

This is such a shame, and the second cultural event Cambridge has lost recently after the Labour administration cancelled the Big Weekend too. My comments below ⏬️

3/3 Labour bosses should stop trying to keep us in the dark. So what happened? Why so coy? What are we not being told? Maybe we should start with the accounts for last year’s festival…?

2/3 EVOLUTION, LEGACY… in this Orwellian style these words suggest it may actually be finished in any recognisable form - though I fervently hope not. The festival is a greatly loved event and public culture in Cambridge is being hollowed out with so many events disappearing

Cambridge City Council announcement

Read this from @camcitco - and know why there is cynicism about politics. WHAT is happening and WHY are both hidden. It’s not about 2026, but CANCELLING this year’s Folk Festival! #cambridge @cambridgelds.bsky.social 1/3
